Christmas gifts...
 

So...before Christmas is normally the time to give really cheap, cheesy gifts to friends, right? So what did you give/receive? Ask weedie what she got from me :D I basically got people food or toys.

My mom got my brother and I a new computer so we would stop using hers. Yeah I am using it right now. It is awesome. I am so excited. Now I just have to fight over it with my brother. LOL

I made two girls on my team necklaces out of resistors, transistors, capacitors, and wire connectors (they're robot electrical specialists) . They were awesome; I should have taken a picture...

I got:

MSOE Stuff - Shirts, Coffee Mug, Bumper Stickers... (heck im going there next year so I have to start collecting the goods)

An Authentic Colorado Avalanche jersey thats so authentic that it even has the jersey clip inside the jersey that hooks to the special protective pad pants that the players wear to prevent the jersey from flopping around..

and everyone's favorite: CASH!

So far, I've received a few CDs, a necklace and a car stereo .... And there's still tomorrow! :) (we open 5 presents from the parents on Christmas eve, and the rest on Christmas day.)

As for what I got my friends - ask them! You know most of them ;)

I haven't opened anything yet, but I know I'm getting a Cannon I850S color bubble jet printer and some photo paper to go with it. Yea! I'll finally be able to print out the photos I take!

I'm guessing I'll be getting the usual as well: candles, bath stuff, more candles (not a complaint), a few CDs, a DVD or two, something for my fantasy collection, socks with cats on them (now up to 14 pairs all different), and of course, something horrible in the clothing line from my mother (no mom, I do not like animal prints or polka-dots, and when have you ever seen me wear sweat-suits, and pink? Not pink... sigh).

And I am 100% sure they are going to love what I bought them!

wheee... I know i'm getting a php book. (no more looking at online function list :)) I hope a new Hard Drive too.

don't really know, but i'm sure it will all be cool.

Merry X-Mas to all

I gave: A ring to one of my friends, a necklace to another, and a scarf to one last person.


I got: Western Michigan University stuff, SWEATERS ( uuughhh ), Fight Club on DVD, a flashlight...


Here's the thing...I got Boondock Saints on DVD, but when I opened it up, all that was in the box was an AOL disc! I'm furious.

mmm...smoothes...

OUCH^~<---Closet thing to infinity I have on my key board

i didn't get anything for christmas. of course, that's probably because i'm jewish... :p

I got nothing b/c i don't celebrate Christmas!

But happy Christmas to everyone!! :)

I got a guitar case and clothes and pink floyd collection

I got a bunch of clothes and some gift certificates, and some stuff for college. It is very exciting.

I gave my friends little rubber devil ducks (gave 28 out) for decemberween(check out homestarrunner.com if you dont know what i mean).

I got an 80gb hard drive...or at least that's what the box said. I opened it up and looked at the hard drive. Hmm...the model number is WD1000. That seems odd for an 80gb hard drive. That's because it's not an 80gb hdd, but a 100gb hdd :) All for the price of one 80gb! It was sweet...

I also got a dremel and a pair of Infinity 5x7's (along with 2 dvds, a Beatles guitar book, cd-r's, and waaay too much chocolate)

Gertrude Hawk peanut butter smidgens are the crack cocaine of chocolates! :D

I got a really sweet office chair for my bedroom that is really comfortable. I got money(quite possibly the best gift ever), clothes, and some books.

I got the chance to spend at least one more holiday with my family - something that is a bit bittersweet.

Otherwise, I got a laptop computer I can use to travel with from Seattle to NY. A Toshiba Satellite 1905 S303. . . 2.4 Ghz P4-M, 512 MB of RAM and a 40 GB Hard Drive. . . it runs Inventor nicely.

From relatives, I received money, mostly. That'll do me well as I prepare to move and finally get settled.

I got my parents a DVD player..

but me? I got from *:

neat headset (wrap-around style), "Spike Glue", Gas Card, money, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate with different wrapping, swedish fish, "Leather Executive Chair", C/C++ Book, 3 Robo-Grip's, various tools, 100 Thin CD cases and a holder, pants, and a hoodie.

And getting tickets to go see Finch, The Movielife, and The Used in February

Santa delivered my ticket yesterday. Woo-ha. Oh, and don't forget My Chemical Romance will be there too.

hrmm.. well from santa i got a digital camera and i really nice leather office chair.. from grandma-some CD-R's, my aunt's a gaming 5-speaker system for my computer.. some hoodies from my sisters and brother.. a fish castle from ryan :p .. an awesome leatherman(which someone still has >|) and some really cute ornaments

And thats my fault? You put it in my box :p I got a DVD player, gift cards, pajamas, books, and a new car :D

I got a playstation 2, vice city and some money. Also might get a 24 port switch and a hamradio I hope.

... Aside from what I posted before, I got a gorgeous necklace from DJ, and I got to see him for almost a whole week! I spent a lot of time with friends (from both near and far) over break - I think that was the best 'present' of all. Yeah, it was a good Christmas. :)

- Katie

I also got to spend some time with friends I haven't seen in a while!! Went night sledding with them. Bailed out of the sled after going off a jump and landed on my side!! That hurt!!!
Found out that a recycling bin actually makes a pretty good sled!! :ahh:

Santa was rather nice to me:
-Tennis Racket

I ended up getting a Sony 48X/28X/48X CD-RW Drive, a Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM Ultra ATA 133 Hard Drive, Nintendo Wavebird Controller, James Bond 007: Nightfire, Metroid Prime, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

evulish, out of curiosity, is the serial number marked with "BB" or "JB," if it's JB it's special edition, and you have one helluva drive there ;)

anyway, I got:

a plastic storage bin
socks
a dvd
socks
calendar
socks
candy

(that's the thanks I get for buying my family a dishwasher for christmas.. family life: go figure.)

Sadly, it's only a BB...I WISH it had an 8mb buffer. It would have been so sweet. But still, 20gb free is nothing to unhappy about :) 20gb is the size of my current hdd.

lol, nice! yeah, still not a bad deal if i say so myself- better +20 than -20, but I guess that's the magic of a retail box ^_^

/me works in a small store that sells mostly OEM
