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. 🙂 😛
 
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. =]
 
So far:

Kimber 1911 .22 conversion kit
$100 cash
some blanket thing for my bed
I'm expecting a little more cash from grandparents.

Now we know why you really got the 360. 😉

You got a lot... 😵

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.
 
SAE/Metric 3/8" socket set w/ ratchet
rotating head ratchet
mini LED flashlight
4gig flash drive

epic win :thumbsup:



my brother had the best gift probably - it was wrapped inside a can which had a chain wrapped around the handles to cover the top. the chain had a lock placed on it, and my brother was given a lockpick kit 😀
 
Parents paid for my cell phone on the 23rd, my old one broke.
$300 cash
video camera
probably cash from grandparents and family friends

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

But, I am poor in comparison to many ATOT families.
 
My family is celebrating Christmas on Boxing Day (at work 🙁) but my fiance gave me a couple gifts this morning 🙂

So far,
- A subscription to QUAD magazine
- New chain


There are a ton of gifts still under the tree though 😀
 
Nikon D90, flash, and two lenses (Solstice, Christmas, Hanuka, Kwanzaa, New Year's, Chinese New Year's, Feast Day of the Virgin of Guadeloupe, Washington's Birthday, MLK Day, both our birthdays, and our anniversary presents combined)

New kitchen range (unexpected present when the old one died)

A recovering cat (toxoplasmosis sucks, he's doing really well w/ antibiotics)

Two digital photo frames (desktop model and a battery powered pocket sized one, one from each set of parents)

Chocolate

See, this is why Christmas is awesome. You can justify buying photography stuff and/or getting them as gifts. 😛
 
The news that I still have a job on Monday, many of my co-workers weren't so fortunate.
