So What'd You Get?

[synth3tk]

Knowing that Santa "came early" for some people (and because I wanted to make this thread first!) post what you received. Pics would be nice also.

We don't do ours until 6am or so, then have breakfast. After playing around with our new "toys" for some time, we clean up a bit, watch whatever's on, go to extended family's house to have dinner there. Really fun times.

I got a Radio Shack digital multimeter for Christmas which was really weird because I had been looking to buy it for some time and my parents knew nothing about that. Also, it was the only present I didn't guess right before opening.

New Scott riding goggles, a lot of clothes (which i needed anyways), then a decent amount of cash that is going to the bank for now - either going to be spent on a lift/tires for my Jeep in combination with my tax refund, or will continue to be banked if I decide to just buy a newer pick-up next year or the year after).

Best thing I got was a new 52" Samsung Full HD LCD TV. Hooked it up and it is beautiful. It was actually bought a few days ago, got it delivered today.
Bought myself some computer upgrades- new 4gigs of ram and graphics card

Hoping for more goodies tomorrow. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays guys!

Wow, very nice Akash! 4 gigs?!? I'm assuming you either do very high end gaming or video editing. And, are you sure you wanted that video card? For another couple of months and the price of a nice mid-range PC, you could get the new GeForce 9800. all others r pwnd to da max.

Anyway, I'm patiently anticipating the morning so we can open our gifts.

I'm pretty happy. I'll probably order a new battery for my laptop on Friday and possibly another gig of ram (i only have one right now and it sucks for video editing...).

I'm chuckling over the mental image of Dave, on his back porch, gleefully defending his family against invading dirty-faced hooligans in striped shirts by shooting them in their posteriors, so that they leap wincing into the air! That scene has always been one of my cinematic favorites. Please, someone with Photoshop skilz, please post an image of Ralphie with his Red Ryder and Dave's face!

Here in Germany, Christmas gift time was yesterday (Christmas Eve) after dinner. I received an absolutely exquisite diamond necklace an earring set from my Grandmother-in-law.

I will be having Christmas with my family when I am able to see them again, and hope that I will be getting another piece of handmade furniture (by my father) for my new house.

Merry Christmas to all!
