Default What Did You Get For Christmas?

Just wanted to start a thread listing what you got for Christmas (or your holiday of choice) this year. We always open up on Chrismas eve due to our hectic visitation schedule for Christmas day.
  • Kinect for XBox 360
  • Games for Kinect
  • Clothes
  • Clock Radio with nature sounds built in
  • Flat Screen TV for the garage
That's pretty much the major stuff. Much love for the wife.

Well, we will do the presents thing tomorrow, but my company gave me a bonus + a 55" big screen which my son's helped me set up this evening. I moved my 42" into my den, and now have a 42" monitor on the wall in front of my desk. I will purchase a wireless keyboard, and mouse for it. I will have my laptop behind me, but able to use the 42" screen in front of me when I want to...my son, gave me an internet ready blue ray do go with my new 55", so we can stream movies when we want. I love gadgets....lol...I feel like I am command here in the office...I will post a photo once everything is done...Merry Christmas all...thank you jesus for bringing all my sons home safe for the holidays...

Update: I have a new I-Pad. Great family day going, and it isn't over yet....heading off to grandma's house this evening....

We really don't do a lot of Christmas presents, but I will be getting a single CAI from Needswings for the coupe.

Certificate for a B.A. LED TV with a Klipsch home theatre speaker system. It is supposed to arrive on Monday. This will give me plenty of time to get the whole deal setup in time to watch Big Ten football prove once again where real football is played.

I learned today that the whole Santa Claus thing is a lie.
My 5 year old grandson got more presents in one morning than I got my whole life.
I know for a fact he was on the naughty list.

Well, OK not fact. In this case it is just an opinion.

I'm happy for him except that I will be assembling toys for a week.

I have to give her top marks for finding one of those. You had better keep it safely hidden as some PETA activist nut will want to kidnap it and return it to its natural environment, laying dead beside the road.

I think I've got you all beat.


We were able to have my almost 82 year young father up for Christmas dinner, maybe the last one. He's going in for some very severe testing on the 6th of Jan. Has to do with blockage in the carotid arteries.

We had a good day, I made Filet Mignon with wine reduction sauce, baked potatos, pea salad, rolls, and two homemade pies-pumpkin with whipped cream and a family recipe called "Oh, So Good", a type of raison and pecan pie. Then watched some NBA.

The last 24 hours or so have not been so good. For some reason my wife is not appreciative of her new vacuum cleaner and toaster.
