I figured since the Secret Santa got a loot thread, those of us who didn't participate or just want to show of the other stuff we got from family and friends should get one too. Post what you scored this year! Mine:

- Logitech VX Nano
- Nikon 50mm f/1.8
- Quantaray 52mm polarizing filter
- 2 sweatshirts
- rechargeable electric screwdriver w/ bits
- stud finder
- "Freakonomics" by Steven Levitt
- "Blindness" by Jose Saramago
- Qdoba gift card
- Sunoco gift card
- nice floormats and a steering wheel cover for my car

Santa was very good to me this year. :) :p

My mom handed me a sheet of paper that says they'll cover my January car insurance payment...but I didn't have the heart to tell them I just transferred the next six months payments' over to their account last night, lol.

I got some movie tickets and I bought myself RockBand 2 for the 360 I bought for my brothers. =]

You got a lot... o_O

EDIT: I haven't "opened" my presents yet. I'm assuming I just get some money, if anything.

I was the best and didn't ask for anything.

Wow... I get $200 cash at most, and that's it.

But, I am poor in comparison to many ATOT families.

See, this is why Christmas is awesome. You can justify buying photography stuff and/or getting them as gifts. :p
