I got a digital camera, a Palm Pilot, Green Bay Packer shirts, a Wisconsin Badgers pullover, some computer games (Star Wars and James Bond) and the Simpsons Season 1 and Season 2 DVD sets. Between the video games and the dvd sets, I see myself logging a lot of time in my apartment over the next 2 weeks.

Well, got the normal bath stuff, a food processor, a great cookbook, and money.
Then, this morning, I woke up ot find out the lotto ticket pool I had gone in on at work won $100,000, so I'm going to get a nice little $200 check ($1000 originally, but after taxes).

I made out really well.
From the folks I got a Digi cam and a bunch of clothes, and from my girlfriend I got more clothes, a remote control truck (named, oddly enough, The RamRod!), books, and a really cool, large, very old, hand-painted movie poster. From my brother and sister-in-law I got $200 worth of restaurant gift-certificates. Whoo-hoo!

I'll let that one slide Brian because I know from Prudence you are the main headliner at the White Swallow.bturk said:
Wow. A truck named after El Guapo's favorite bar. Interesting indeed....
Here's what Mrs. Guapo got me for Christmas.
In all reality I was lucky to receive a home brew kit and many accessories and some gift certs to the home brew store. Whoo hoo!

Towels, candles, 2 tiny walkie-talkie/radios to use when we're camping/at theme parks, money, stamps, bike basket & water bottle, a t-shirt of the "Mad Blue Bird". Then the one I got myself at Burdine's, a "Philco" CD/cassette/turntable that looks really old-fashioned.
I've seen the "Philco" player; it is neat. I got a Celtic Cross tapestry wall hanging, a set of unique serving dishes from Portugal, a cast- iron skillet gift "basket" with some food items in it, some DVD's for the new DVD player, and a king - sized dog bed for my average-sized dog. That one gets exchanged.

I got me some tools! Now I just need a workbench...
Got the Band of Brothers DVD box set.
Also got some nice scotch glasses, a wallet, and some hockey gear. My brother got me a really neat 1/18 scale die-cast Mini Cooper model.
A bunch of small stuff rounded out the haul.
It was a good christmas this year.

From my parents: A deep fryer, gift cards to the Olive Garden, shirts, pants, SW Episode II DVD, and my favorite...
In my unexected day off yesterday, I managed to squeeze in the first 6 episodes....I now understand why this show is so damn popular.
My grandmother's gift brought tears to my eyes....a really nice crystal picture frame, three oval pictures...on the right, my wife's parents wedding pic, on the left, my parent's wedding pic, and in the center, ours.
My wife and I haven't exchanged our gifts yet (we wanted Christmas to be all about our daughter)....she's getting me a Playstation 2 (to go with my Xbox that I got in March), and I'm getting her a Karaoke machine and Karaoke CD's....hey...it's what she wants. I'm also (unbeknownst to her) getting her some diamond stud earrings.

BTurk what kind of vacuum cleaner did youget? uh?uh? (crosses fingers it was a biSSELL)
Besides my manzilla windstopper convertible mittens, the Christmas showstopper had to be the OXO kitchen utensils Santa brought us.
But Santa really pulled out all the stops when he magically appeared (in the form of a very very nice VW dealer)to replace the Passat's disintegrated Bosch coils (that are on worlwide backorder) that fried when we were about to leave the BIL's house in Chicago the day before Xmas eve. It was against protocol but he hijacked a set of coils from a new Passat on his lot to get us on our way!!!

Xmas - toys for grownups
My husband got me a new printer (so I can finally throw my clunky old HP out the window) and surprised me with a scanner!!! Can't wait to try out my new toys... supposedly I'll be able to scan negatives and slides, even.

The joys of growing older - I got some britta water filters, x-acto knife set, razor blades, blank VHS tapes. Stuff I wanted/needed, but didn't want to buy for myself. They made good stocking stuffers
Plus, got some good stuff - DVD/VHS player, watch, birdhouse, new additions to my nativity scene collection, bath and body lotions (yum!), clothes, money, etc.
My mom "felt bad" because "Christmas is going to be small this year" since both my sister and I got married in 2002. Of course, I think she spent more this year than she did last year.
