My best gifts were a pair of Suzuki GSX-R riding gloves(with CF knuckles covered in metal wire mesh) from my fiance, and a 1986 WH1 T-Type from my dad.

My daughter got so many things for Christmas it's not even funny. She got like 50 things from each person in my family. Little spoiled butt!
 
So how did you end up becoming a member on this site if you dont mind me asking?
A little off topic but here goes:
Well originally I came here in response to something Jack posted about me here in this thread. And then it was either Blake or Matt that dared me to start this thread to annoy Jack. After that I just checked in occassionaly when Jack or Blake would tell me if something interesting was on the site. After the forum I used to frequent closed down I started popping in here on a more regular basis just to read what ever was going on(suffering forum withdrawal).Apart from annoying Jack I like to vist cos there are a lot of interesting discussions going on.

And Jack your M&Ms are still out here dont expect me to keep my hands off them forever!
 
Wasn't that where Dilbert was placed, Jeff?

Actually Dilbert is placed slightly to the left of Hendrix ontop of my computer screen, for those who don't know what were talking about here's some pics.


Just some normal wire and a lot of time.(Twas a school prject)
Back on topic, I also got 100 bucks from my aunt and probably a little more money for my birthday tommorrow. I also got a 5 mega pixel digital camera as an early gift last week. As you can see from the pics, I'm enjoying it very much!
 
The final count:

Motorola V325 Cell Phone
Logitech DFP
Battlefield 2142
Battlefield 2 Deluxe (w/ Special Forces expansion)
GTR2
GT Legends
Cologne/Aftershave
Some NASCAR stuff
Chris Wells OSU jersey
Victorinox Swiss Army knife
$100
Chad Johnson Bengals jersey
Pocket watch
Splinter Cell: Double Agent for PS2
Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones

I didn't do too bad this year. Now I'm saving up for the following:

Another 512MB of RAM
iPod Video 30GB
Traxxas Jato 3.3 Nitro RC Car
 
And you don't even have facial hair, why do you need aftershave? You're like, 10.

My thoughts exactley, maybe a bottle of miracle-grow would have been better.. ;)

Oh and my camera officially rocks, I was nearly blinded by it! = Harmlessly looking but potentially deadly.
:mischievous:
 
I didn't ask for anything from my parents this year, since they paid for my month log excursion to South America over this past summer, but I still did pretty well.

- An external HD for my laptop
- 3 Innova Disc Golf discs (champion orc, champion teebird, champion leopard)
- 50 dollars at Best Buy
- 50 dollar gas card
- A football
- Various clothes (mostly hoodies and jeans)
 
I received a lot of unexpected items this year...didn't ask for much, but I got lots of nice things anyhow.

- Mio portable GPS navigation module.
- Star Wars VI, V, VI (old and new versions).
- Some Bruce Lee movies.
- Wu-Tang versus Shaolin (it's a movie, not a rap album).
- Trogdor polo shirt.
- Expresso/Single-cup coffee maker (gonna need it!)
- An "old" laptop (it's 6 months new).
- Midnight Club 3 "Dub" and GTA: Liberty City Stories (for my PS2 that I just repaired!)
- Money...it's a gas.

Also, since the baby's just a few days away, they gave Kathy and I a few more things:

- Baby clothing.
- Baby Trogdor onesie.
- Stuffed animals for baby.
- Rattle for baby.
- Blanket for baby.
- Walker-shape-rolling-thing for baby (when it can stand up).
 
I got the wonderful present of rocking up to work at just before 7am to this...

We flooded and half of my work was under 2 inches of water. It was an awesome day!
 
Michigan Wolverines Jacket (Its not leather but its still cool)
T shirt that says "I'll keep wearing black until something darker comes along."
A Dodge Pocket watch (I don't own a Dodge but I guess I'll have to get one now to match the watch. ;))

It wasn't a bad xmas. I was really really hoping for a Xbox 360 or something else (like clothes or games or a digital camera). Oh well. I got to spend time with the family and thats what mattered most.

We received quite a bit of rain this evening too, which is odd since it's usually the driest time of year here. It's rained every other day this month, keeping the temperatures a frigid 75-80 degrees F every day...

Ah, the days of getting lots and lots of stuff. Enjoy it. It goes down in 10 years. ;)
 
You got a car for Christmas???

Yes, although I knew about it prior to Christmas day. My Dad has a thing for GN's and T-Type's, and collects them. He enjoys working on, and learning about my cars, but he wanted something we could enjoy together that he's much more familiar with. So, I got a 20 year old Turbo Regal(although it's damn nice). I'll post pics way later tonight after I get home from work.
 
It's rather disappointing actually when I receive better than what I give. :indiff:

Any way, I had a lot of surprises.

DWA
Well I guess the 360 is one to myself since I probably wouldn't have gotten one if I asked for it. Other than that.

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a Belkin Tunetalk recorder, Jeans, a saddle, and seat post.

I got all the above and...

$400

$125 gift card to Banana Republic

Black SJ Sharks jersey
 
i got:

$100 gift voucher for target
$100 towards my V3 Razr

Thats from my parents, not sure if im getting anything in the mail or something later on from my grand parents.

I gave my brother a PS2 game, WWE smack down vs RAW, my other brother a toy motorbike with a rider.

My parents got a Roche Capillo RR660 +1gb mem card and dad got Austin powers box set DVD. All from me.

Not a massive haul, but thats not the point for me anymore
