what gift did you get this year

I got a set of Jarts, a tube of Super Elastic Bubble Plastic and some candy cigarettes.

...oh, wait...did you mean THIS Christmas?

My sister, who lives in England but visits every Christmas, brought me a set of 4 paperback books written by Clarkson! Last year it was a Stig RC cart and keychain.

I'm sensing a pattern here, and couldn't be happier about it!

My wife and I exchanged presents last night but it cannot be censored enough to post. Sometimes the best presents are free.

bowling shoes, toaster oven, Beer, WoW, and some other small things

Got the full Adobe CS4 suite, Adobe Lightroom, 5 4 gig memory cards for my cameras, a Domke F6 camera bag, first two season of Digging for the Truth on DVD, Wanted on Blueray and the new Narnia movie, some photography books and a $100 gift card.

However the best thing I got was that girl from my college that was in the photo with the pup sent me a text saying Merry Christmas. Totally not expected and really made my day.

Wife got me a new guitar, brother got me a Wii, mom gave me cash, also got a lot of books and some other cool stuff. It's been a good Christmas.

I got spoiled...

from the wife? A new 32" LCD TV

from the parents? A TomTom GPS ( I NEED a Stewie Griffen voice pack, anyone?)

Sister? New shiny analog guages for the Ninja. :)

Box of Dynamat Extreme and some Jockeys

I didn't really ask for anything, so from my mom, I got a bread machine (making my first loaf now) and assorted necessities that I hate buying for myself like underwear and socks.

From dad and his side of the family, I got cash, and the same type of produce knife that he used back when he worked in a store 20-odd years back. This was really cool; I haven't been able to find one I liked, and the one he got me has a nice leather holster and carved wooden handle.

I bought myself a new set of Mikuni BS34 carbs for my bike.

Red Rider BB-Gun from the Father-in-law.

Seriously!!

Do tell what kind

I got a new mandolin, an Orpheum.

My little brother got a build it yourself guitar kit, to resemble a Martin something.

I'll head over tomorrow and get an equipment kit, pick a style to brew. This should be fun, I've been collecting refillable bottles for months now, I should have enough for 3 or 4 batches :D.

Excellent. Now head over to homebrewtalk.com for some advice if you need it! I'm SkinnyShamrock over there. And may I suggest an English Brown or American Pale Ale as your first brew...they're very easy to get right and end up awesome 99% of the time.

I got some CDs, a couple t-shirts, some brewing supplies, and cash from the grandparents.

The wife got me a smoker, a new car for my train set ,and some odds and ends I needed.

Hotwheels Unimog and JD Tractor (because I enjoyed the book "Old Tractors and Men who love them"), Sears gift card for tools, PJs, fuzzy slippers and hugs and kisses from my 4 yo which is always the best gift for me on any occasion.

My evil, sinister wife secretly blew our agreed upon budget to buy me a laptop so I can play Irace. The in-laws got me a Pegasus gift certificate so I can buy either a transponder or a down payment on a HANS. Yeah, I'm pretty happy.

Frying pan. It's non-stick. You know you want one.

The Missus bought me a Kirkey race seat for the ~New Vintage Race Car Project ~ I bought a few weeks ago.

I'm building one of ~THESE~

And the kids got me a truly awesome Marshmallow Shooter! (below)

I got an authentic GRM beenie,

It's no BMW, but nearly as sporty.

It's a strat copy made by Silvertone. I haven't picked up a guitar in about 15 years, and I've been wanting to start again. I thought about getting one of those kits, but I figured it would never get finished.

I got a new PS3 with little big planet and Fallout 3 some blue ray movies to watch on it. (played that thing till 3am last night) I also got an ipod nano with an adapter to use it in the car. I got one of those marshmellow guns too.

One of the coolest things I got since I'm a big pulp fiction fan was a BMF wallet, really funny, I can't wait to whip that out to pay for something!
