The Annual What'd You Get Christmas Present Thread

[Tenbatsuzen]

I love these threads.

I bought Liz a new Ipod and Digital camera, along with Wall-E on DVD, an actual Wall-E toy, and a Wage uglydoll.

I wanted sunglasses that made me look like an asshole, and I got them. Liz got me a pair of Oakley Monster Pup sunglasses, the same ones that Tony Stewart wears.

I also got a Citizen Eco-Drive watch. along with some slippers, a new fleece, and Tiger Woods 2009.

Talk about serving up a softball. There is a classic example. I'll leave it alone though.

I got 2 sons who are very happy after opening their gifts this morning. That makes my Christmas a great one.

[RoseBlood]

We didn't do "gifts" this year, but I may treat myself to a blackberry after the holidays (and maybe my mom too), the old chunky laptop ain't what it use to be.

I got my wife a carved sign of the "name" of our new beachhouse its the title of her favorite Sinatra song. The Summer Wind.
I got one of those single cup coffee makers. They're excellent. Just what I asked for.

OMG that's awesome jives!!! I want! I want! You got the best Christmas presents EVER!!!!

[ToiletCrusher]

I have no idea what I got for Christmas! Since I was old enough to stop believing in santa claus, my mother has always worked on Christmas day (she's a NP at a hospital here) so another mom with a young family can have the day off. So, I will have to wait until 3:30pm or so when the entire family gets here! Until then, I will be preparing the dinner feast and wondering.

[thejives]

I did?

Maybe.

When I wind them up together it sounds like monotonous repetitive ambient Indian music.

[SatCam]

my parents gave me cash, which will be payed back to them in exactly one week in the form of a rent check.

I don't know what those are, but they are adorable!

I got a pair of jeans, a cool tie-dyed v-neck thermal shirt, these neat ear warmers called 180s, a cool shirt from my in-laws, MySims Kingdoms for the Wii, and money. Mike got new winter gloves, a shirt, money, and Persona 4 (which he has been playing already). And he will also get a few pairs of hand-knit socks once I'm done knitting him mom's gift (I know, I stink, but lace knitting is hard and tedious and my MIL understands).

The people in your life stink when it comes to buying gifts.

[smiler grogan]

I was gonna say nothing.Then I remembered that I got a x-mas bonus and in this scary job market that is a great gift.

[underdog]

My wife got me a bunch of awesome clothes, including a "Haz U Seen Mah Bukket" shirt. She also got me a remote control helicopter/mosquito and a How To Make Sock Puppets kit. This christmas ruled.

I got her floor seats to a Celtics game, a gift certificate to a spa, travel Scrabble and a bunch of cooking oils. I also bought my parents a cruise, so I'm excited to give them that later today.

1. New Carhart insulated overalls

2. Namco Food Dehydrator

3. Fastback Locking Knife (camo color)

4. Memory Foam Slippers (thing I didn't ask for but desperatly needed)

Awesome!

[weekapaugjz]

this was a really great christmas. i didn't have a lot of money to spend on gifts, but they were pretty well thought of gifts that people enjoyed.

for me, it was awesome. i got a new hard drive and RAM upgrade for my laptop, a convection toaster oven, a waffle iron, a cookbook, two big bottles of rogue beer, a scarf, an original print of a really cool hockey goalie, a slate sabres sign with mine and my girlfriends names painted on, a couple books, full metal jacket dvd, and a hand carved wooden bowl from my step father.

hope everyone else got what they wanted!

This year I got sore ribs from coughing non-stop for the past three days. I have some kind of flu that knocked me on my ass. This year blows! My family has a large Christmas Eve party every year, and last night was the one I ever missed. I'm not even seeing my family today. I'm sitting at home by myself, but I'm thankful that the show is on and that I have a great wife and family.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I had a feeling this would be quoted.

It was either that or "undergarments". I decided to take the less creepy route.

[Antioch]

Not only did I send presents out and get none (which I expected.. I did think Ron and Fez would play my Xmas song, as it was submitted on the 12th... and certainly was better than 18 to 25... and I was denied.. or at least as they're up to the good ones and number 3 they haven't.. and it's not going to do that well as I was really horribly sick when I wrote and recorded it... so I'm now to only assume I am the most hated Ron and Fez fan.

[Jughead]

My boys got everything they wanted....Well almost that made me very happy That was my gift and it worked great!!!

[Misteriosa]

i got 2 tote bags, a pair of jeans, a shirt, and a sweater. i know i was def on the "diminishing returns" side this year, but i also know that our shopping season was cut a little short due to recent events.

i was just happy that my mom, my sister, and i could have a early christmas (tues nite) before my mom had to fly to PR :o

[biozombie]

I got a couple of pieces of paper with Ben Franklin's face on the front, I'm told these can be exchanged for goods and services. I am sorely in need of goods and services, so this works out well for me. I also got a comic book for reading, so that's also nice for me.

it would have been sweet if it was barrasso, he was the first goalie i was ever a fan of when he played for the sabres.

its just a "generic" goalie. its hand drawn and has all these movement type lines on the goalie showing all the different dimensions of it.

[Piuki]

I was trying to get courtside, but even for shitty games, they started at $450 a piece.

They actually had 3 tickets a row closer for the game I bought at $110 a piece, but I would have had to buy all three tickets.

I'm just finding out about the best present of all this Christmas. As we all know, things are tough lately for a lot of people. My brothers and sisters and I weren't supposed to exchange any gifts this year. Turns out, both of my brothers secretly gave money to all three of my kids anyway. One brother gave a 3 digit figure to my oldest son, because he heard he's planning on moving to California in Feb. He also gave money to my other two kids, but not quite as much. Still... more than he should have.

The REALLY amazing thing is what my other brother did. He shelled out no less than 60 bucks between the three of them. This is coming from a guy who has been getting constant 2 week layoffs from his job at GE.

I have a really fucking awesome family!

[keithy_19]

I had a great christmas this year. I'm grateful to get anything, especially in this econom,y, but apparently my family did pretty well for themselves.

I'm typing on my brand new laptop. I love it. It's nice to be typing on my own computer again. My 'best' ideas come in the middle of the night as well, so it'll be nice to just roll out of bed (or stay in) and type them up.

The entire family got a Wii. A lot of this had to do with my niece, who loves it and my parents being absolutely in love with her.

The lady got me a bunch of silly gifts and then proceeded to give me an all exspense paid trip to get an hour long massage, gratuity included. I've been telling her that I've been in a lot of pain recently due to my condition. She was even nice enough to find that there is a guy there who specializes in MS patients.

Is it gay if I get a massage from a guy?

If by 'gratuity' you mean happy ending, then yes its gay.

A new XM radio receiver and actually became a new paying subscriber.

I've been using the XM receiver my boss bought for me 3 1/2 years ago so he's been paying for the sub, but that receiver is finally taking a shit. Next week I'll use the company credit card and buy a new one for the work truck so I won't have to move them back and forth from personal truck to work truck anymore.

Save that for Star Wars the musical!!!

[lleeder]

My sister got me the new Guns N Roses CD.

I left it at her house.

You should have put it in a bag, lit it on fire, put it on the front stoop, rang the doorbell, then ran away and hid in the bushes.

[GvacMobile]

I went into the office this morning to pick up my Christmas bonus.

Considering the state of the economy and how slow sales have been for the past few months, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

Got mine last Friday before the boss went on vacation. It was Phucking Phat! Luckily the bad economy hasn't had any effect on my area.

[~Katja~]

I would bet that you are correct. But really, its the thought that counts.

just go and buy gold with it... you may not get much but the return a few years down the road may be good.

[razorboy]

I got clothes, cash, a DS with Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin, a Le Creuset 5 1/2 quart French Oven, but the two greatest gifts of all:

twenty-four 330 ml bottles of Duvel,

and

Free soda water for anyone who wants to drop by!

[TheGameHHH]

I got some dope ass gifts.....an iPod Touch, a Cannon Elph, a really nice down North Face vest, some more clothes and money.

[GvacMobile]

I got some dope ass gifts...

Sorry to hear that bro.

Try to remember that Christmas isn't about gifts. I'm sure the people who gave them to you meant well.

[lleeder]

Gary Wolstenholme got me a really nice set of oven mits. Jesper Parnevik was super pissed that he didn't get them. I asked him if he wanted to switch secret santas but nooooo he wasn't interested that'll show him.

oh man dino got a pair from his dad also. cause it seems his brother got them & didn't want them so he stuck them in dino's stocking. those shits are going right back to kohl's.
saddest part was that we got his brother a joke tie for $1 to hide the game stop gift card we got him & the pierre cardin tie his dad gave dino was actually way uglier.

dino's mom got him the entire esteban guitar lesson collection of dvds. possibly the greatest cheesey gift ever.

she got me a coach bag that's going back to macy's cause i'm not one for the bags with the logos all over.

she also got him clothes & a ton of stuff for the apartment.

overall not such a crappy christmas

[Furtherman]

What I didn't get was a hippopotamus. Fuck you Santa, only a hippopotamus will do.

I got to spend another x-mas with the family.

Then, I got a bit of cash, two best buy (yuk) gift cards, and two pairs of new jeans.

All in all good gifts, but I got to spend time with them... that's the best. And, this year was a better year for me mentally so I made all 4 x-mas family parties and spent a lil extra time with my mom since my step-dad is on his 3rd tour in Iraq.

[drusilla]

[grlNIN]

My boyfriend and i just bought Guitar Hero: Legends of Rock bundle.

[drusilla]

nope. no expiration date. & we though about using them for the tv, but it was like $500 more at best buy than it was at b&h. totally not worth it.

I got a Classic iPod, which is now getting all of my cds put on it.

[WhistlePig]

I got a Classic iPod, which is now getting all of my cds put on it.

Be careful, because mine just died tonight! The second one in in less than 8 years. I went onto Apple online to see about repairs because it isn't THAT old but it would be $270 to fix when I can get a new iPod touch for $229 or another classic for $249. Does anyone repair these things?

[drusilla]

my 20gb 3g stopped working about a year & a half ago & i just never tried to do anything about it. i dunno, since getting xm i hardly use the thing anymore.

[Tenbatsuzen]

hey who has tagging powers?

I do. I was going to update it with everyone's gifts, but I got lazy and 2500 miles away

I am sorry, that is one of their biggest complaints and why I purchase SanDisk products. Search Google and you may find a cheaper option for repair. :sad:

I would be royally pissed if this thing died on me any time soon. I just finished downloading all of my cds on it tonight.
