What'd you get & give for Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus/Late December
Thus far I received a USMC watch, Maximum Boost (on its way), and cash for the vast majority of a MS3X so I can be cool like Brain.
Thus far I gave a 2yr Popular Photography subscription & DVD to my dad, I'm painting my moms kitchen (her request) and I'm getting a KA-BAR for my brother once he gets out of boot camp.
What about y'all?

My gf's sister gave her one of these as well. Which means I'll get to try that **** too!
This year I gave my nieces and nephews a combination of gift cards, toys, workout equipment and some choice Justice items for my youngest niece.
Between my bros and sister-in-laws I gave gift cards, a TENS unit, a guitar pick punch, and a book.
Got my mom a candelabra and my dad some old western DVDs and specialty condiments.
Gave the gf a diamond necklace, a ton of her favorite k-cups, XM radio w/1yr subscription, Steve Jobs book, some nick nacks and little gifts.
Between everyone family wise, her and myself (yes I got myself some things I've been wanting this year
) I got a GoPro hero, logitech wireless illuminated keyboard, new bubbler, giant 30" clock, productivity calender, box of my favorite k-cups, hammock chair, Canon printer, new incense, earmuff headphones, and a new paper shredder.
It was an expensive, but a good Christmas. I'm just happy I didnt spend a dime on that ******* miata this year. Looks like I was able to break that habit as well. lol
