Christmas was slow this year. Any gift is a good one though.

Spyderco knife
Some Heineken and Corona
Pair of running headphones
Gun cleaning kit for the Ak

Thats about it. I gave my parents....news that Ive decided to go to basic training/AIT this summer. Needless to say they werent very happy about their christmas present. :lol:

Ill be happy when I get to go car shopping when I get back though.

[HAULN-SS]

I got a two-burner camp stove + modular grill accessory to go on top if it +
Miscellaneous other stuff.

Christmas was very Miata-themed this year... Got some accessories:



and some sway bars! Mom and Dad chose to write me a poem about sway bars since they're kinda hard to wrap. They officially win the award for most clever presentation of gift. For your viewing (or singing) pleasure, to the tune of Jingle Bells:

Racing around the course
In my Miata with 130 horse
It's black and sleek and fun
and man can that sleigh run

The breeze whips through my hair
I haven't got a care
I speed around the track
and can't wait to go back

OH Autocross
it's the boss
How i love to play

It's fun to be
with all my friends
and race throughout the day

I love to find my way
and now my car won't sway
because I have new bars
to put under my car

Now I'll make the gates
and keep the driving tight
Just let me rev the engine now
and give me the green light

OH Autocross
It's the boss
I have no more sway

My car is right
and I am light
and I am on my way

So grab your keys
and helmet please
and give me lots of room

And watch me fly
around the track
in my Miata that goes
Zoom Zoom

Cash and clothes. We didn't do the tons of presents this year and I actually like it a lot more. I guess I'm getting old, but I really do just appreciate being around friends and family this time of the year especially when everyone is happy and healthy.

[.paul]

redskins pen, redskins ear warmers, redskins beanie, cash, canvas print of capirossi, those super fast boiling tea pots, a parron and tiger woods golf 09 for my wii.

[Ginger]

Dude - that Miata poem is awesome! You have some clever folks.

My gift this year was Rome themed... because that's where I am right now! I may treat myself to something nice from the Ferrari shop (they've got everything - it's a bit of a shame that I can't bring back the cologne, just to have it). I also got an album that I've wanted for a few weeks (but i can't bring myself to spend money on music anymore). I haven't been this excited to get a cd since I was 14!

Buon Natale!

Christmas was kept small around our house too, everyones getting older and money is a little tighther.

Jeans
Socks for work (I destroy dress socks in about 3 weeks)
Very nice wine bottle quark remover
Stetson Cowboy Hat (I've wanted a true legitimate cowboy hat since middle school)
Black scarf to wear at work
Mom gave me my dads old Ruger 10 .22 rifle.
Older brother told me I could go downstairs and take any two of his tools out of the basement that I wanted so I grabbed:
Dewalt 18V Sawzall
Bosch Jigsaw

[kcook]

i got kicked off my car insurance for xmas. yay im on my own now hock:

other than that i got ~$500 from relatives, a 12 pack of beer, a tiny keg and $150 to a&f

[Jewels]

As other have said, family is getting older and money a bit tighter, so things were pretty lowkey for us.

I got:

Day Spa gift certificate from Rex
M&P 9
Cash
Gift card
Digital photo frame from my brother with pictures he'd already put on it
books

All in all it was a great christmas, filled with family and friend time. Today we are going to fight the crowds to get teh good deals out there.

[JohnC]

Jess and I raised about $400 from friends and family, for Caring For Creatures. Other than that, it was a nice quiet holiday, with lots of good food and adult beverages 8)

Merry Christmas!

My wife and the teenage girls got new cell phones a few months ago and few things of clothing yesterday.

I got:
HD Radio with front AUX input
Revell 1:24 BMW Sauber F1 model and paint, glue, brush, etc.
Cash from parents and in-laws (which will likely go to an attachment to weld Aluminium)

The boys, 5 & 3, came down to find Power Wheels 4 wheelers. We didn't get them much else, not much matters with those around the tree.

Family gifts are a puppy and Guitar Hero. The puppy we adopted from animal control and is a mix of rat terrier and unknown, maybe springer spaniel.

[Jeff]

Great Christmas! A lot of running around but it was all fun. I had 2 different places to go here and 2 places in Bedford. Traffic on 81 was a bitch. Fun and more low key then usual (seems to be everyone). I really got a lot out of the giving this year, it was nice to have money to do it for a change.

Stuff I got from...
Myself - PSL Rifle, Panasonic 5 Phone setup
G/F - Maps for my GPS, Nerf Vulcan (M-60 type thing), stocking full of goodies
Mom/Dad - All kinds of stuff for the kitchen. Kitchenaid knives, Artisan mixer, food processor, all kinds of other gadgets.
Grandparents - Cash, Cash, Cash...Convection oven, cutting boards, pants/shirts
Other - Bunch of different gift cards, Burnout Paradise for PS3, wine, all kinds of glasses and wine related stuff.

So yeah, lots of great stuff for the house!
