Not sure what my parents got us since we haven't opened it yet...
Wife is getting me a big bin rack for the garage from Costco. She's getting a food processor she's been hinting at plus a new head unit for her car and other small goodies.
I'm getting this for myself:
All the parts to make my Travelall a 3/4 ton 4x4 (currently heavy 1/2 ton 2WD), plus a good driver qtr window.. all for $300, about what the qtr windows alone generally go for. Truck was parked in 1975, with ~25K on the drivetrain. I can probably make back what I'm paying for it selling off parts.

Got myself: supertech pistons, 1000cc injectors, m-tuned rail, 99 head w/ 2 exhaust cams, flyinmiata cam gear, arp main's, some amphenols, 190 lph pump, shitload of gaskets, mazda water pump, new timing belt, and a new bumper. I tried to get m-tuned rods but the postal system decided I wasn't deserving.

I'm still at the D110 printer, but assume I will get some more stuff. Just ordered some stuff though. Only people I am buying for this year are my parents for putting up with my **** for the last ~25 years. Got my dad a pretty nice pair of Nikon binocs and my mom I will go pick up some girly stuff tomorrow. She loves candles and fragrant stuff, as well as maybe a comfy blanket. Sucks not having money until 2 days prior, and having to work fucked up hours. I'll just have enough money left to pay 2 of my doctor payments and go see the urologist Monday to see if he wants to ram a coat hanger and cotton ball up my pee hole or cut my back open to remove my stone for Christmas... 
also likely have a wicked kidney/bladder infection. Maybe I won't get dead for Christmas. On top of that I got the flu 2 days ago, so I feel excellent. But the flu was expected, I have been sick EVERY Christmas for at least the last 10 years.

Just opened a Kinect for xbox from my gf. We did Christmas on christmas eve morning since I'm about to jump in the shower and go to work all night. By the time I get back she'll be at her parents, and I'll have to change outta my scrubs and into some street clothes and join her. We'll see how well I do dealing with her family after being up all night.

My little cousins got me a nerf gun. So the first thing I have done is take it apart so that I can mod it to shoot further. Epic nerf gun battles will be happening very soon.

A bunch of games off the steam sale. Such as Borderlands, Batman arkham asylum, mass effect 2, bioshock, devil may cry 4, darksiders, and red faction:gurilla.
Woot, and I spent less than $40.00. Thank you steam!

Wife got me this:
And allowed me to get one pretty much like this to go with, in mint condition - except white with tool box: Since my current '00 yukon has 331,2xx miles on it -
'06 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 Z71, crew cab with everything but the DVD entertainment package.
