CONFESS!!!! What did Santa get you?

[LynneSin]

Actually one of my presents I got before Xmas was 4 new tires for my car. But my step-sister's family got me the 70th Anniversary edition of Monopoly, which I love because it's such a nice package and I love Monopoly

[leftofthedial]

1. The John Lennon Encyclopedia

[Call Me Wesley]

2. Let's see:

For the both of us:





And for myself:



A Buddhist necklace from my nieces, pens, books and Hulk underwear!

[Little Wing]

3. The first smooth itch-free wool sweater I've ever owned

and it's warm, too.

Couple gift cards, some cookies, Ramen, granola

The gift cards will likely go towards some kitchen items I need, and the rest towards a



Full carbon frame, smooth as silk.

[Guava Jelly]

4. about 3-4 lbs

From all the christmas crap i ate.

[redwitch]

5. A nikon coolpix camera, YAY!

I am taking it to Paris with me in March! A friend is studying at the Sorbonne and I will sleep on her apartment floor for a week. Hope I can still walk at the end of my visit, my back will complain for sure. BUT! I am going to see the Louvre and Notre Dame, and the Left Bank and the Eiffel Tower! I can't believe I am really going!

[AngryAmish]

6. 250 bucks worth of booze

[LynneSin]

7. Damn, can your family adopt me

:shrug:

[AngryAmish]

8. No, they are mine and you can't have them

You can have my syrah when you pull it from my cold, dead hand.

[Avalux]

9. My favorite gift - a Bodum Melior

I've never owned a french press before and now I know why it's the preferred method to brew coffee. I'll never go back to drip. :D

[BOSSHOG]

10. A digital camera

I enjoy photography, am somewhat of a neanderthal and have used SLR's forever. This is my first digital and its quantum physics to me so far. Its fun learning about it.

Glad to hear you got a nice package for Christmas.

[malta blue]

11. A Magnum of Bollinger Special Cuvee...

some clothing, a spa certificate and lots of other very fun stuff including a bottle of wine produced by Maynard Keenan's vineyard (Caduceus).

I am trying to decide when to drink the champagne....

[Dukkha]

12. my first cell phone

and I'm 37! I feel like I'm the last man on Earth to finally have one. I avoided it as long as I could.

[hfojvt]

13. It's hard to tell

my family does not foist Christmas presents on me until New Years Eve. I kinda wish they wouldn't, although I am using one of their presents right now (an electric space heater) and wearing another (an insulated red shirt).
One thing I bought for myself was a bag of chocolate chips - a luxury I rarely indulge in. It is an open question whether I can avoid eating them all before I bake cookies on Friday.
With any luck the grocery store will have brown and serve rolls on sale today.
Plus, I got a Cowboy's loss. I'm not sure if Santa was responsible, or if it was Westbrook or the Eagles' defensive co-ordinator, but it was a great present nonetheless.

14. Santa gave me nothing but

my dear hubby got his present wrapped in silk

I got some side benefits from that

:evilgrin:

[racaulk]

15. I got more cowbell!

Just kidding, because I love your sig line... :)

I got an Ipod! Woo hoo! :woohoo:

[RetroLounge]

16. Lets see...

Two HUGE stuffed animals from the kids.
Some shirts, socks, boxers.
Calendar.
CD's.
Journal and pen/pencil set.
Large tin of cheese popcorn.
Gift cards.
Gamecube (Yes, it was for my son, but lets get real, dad will play it too...)

17. Santa didn't bring me what I wanted

I asked for David Hewlett (my latest crush!) to be delivered without the girlfriend, but it never happened. I'll just have to wait for my birthday and ask again.

Barring that, I got a couple of books and some chocolate covered cherries--the good kind, not those over sweet fake ones.

[ganeshji]

18. I did pretty good.

I got a bag of weed, a large bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin, a car, gift certificate to my favorite Indian restaurant, a snuggly blanket, and a phone call from my dad which was unexpected.

[Fleshdancer]

21. whoah...back up. You got a car?

now you have to give us details.

[ganeshji]

23. My Mom gave me a car.

I needed it badly and Mom is pretty awesome so she came through for me. Again. She ranks fairly high on the Mom scale!

[billyskank]

32. And which benefactor gave you the bag of weed?

:D

[ganeshji]

37. Mom is cool, but not that cool!

It was Santa. Yeah, that's it!

[KansDem]

19. I got a bottle of scotch and all six "Thin Man" movies!

:D

[LSK]

20. a shitty fantasy football team

With an even dumber team owner.

:(

[derby378]

22. I got a metal detector and a lot of nice winter clothes

I'm gonna go hunt for treasure now. Kisses!

[tk2kewl]

24. A windlass

:woohoo:

[NMDemDist2]

26. "congrats" she said after a Google search

:hi:

[tk2kewl]

30. Thanks...

Only one problem...

I ordered this one (motor is below deck therefore less to trip on):


But they sent this one (motor above deck and bulky):


So I have to ship it back and have it replaced.

[HEyHEY]

25. He's having someone killed for me

[NewJeffCT]

27. The biggest surprise

Was my brother getting me the DVDs of the old TV show "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" with Gil Gerard & Erin Grey. I used to love that show when I was a kid.

Other than that, some clothes and Season 2 & 2.5 of Battlestar Galactica on DVD.

[Eurobabe]

28. An Eagles VICTORY!!

Belated present from Sandy Claws.

[GalleryGod]

35. You betcha By golly wow!

Where's those Jints fans ???
Skins fanatics?
Cowboy Converts ?

[madrchsod]

29. shoes that do`t fit

and barnes and noble gift card. have to drive 80 miles to take back the shoes and use the card...

[ghostsofgiants]

33. Yarr

Other crap.

[GalleryGod]

34. one heckuva leader

[LynneSin]

38. If he wins just one playoff game, McNabb may be looking for a new team

Which makes me sad because unlike the Philly big stars like Cunningham, Iverson, Lindros et al - McNabb is 110% pure class.

[GalleryGod]

41. Yikes! Are you still hitting the spiked eggnog???

D-Mac's going nowhere. End of story. Jeff returns to back-up next year as soon as "5" is 100%, and Jeff said as much, tonite, from Chickie & Pete's.

[Redstone]

36. A police scanner radio, so I can sell a few more pics to the newspapers.

They pay REALLY slow, but it gets me out of the office once in a while.

And the best part? you can put in your car when traveling, so you can listen and find out where the speed traps are.

Whee! It's only going to take me three hours to get to Vermont next time, instead of five!

Oh, and also the puppy and kitten.

39. Everyone's gotten such great stuff!

:hi: I got a 4 GB iPod Nano yesterday, and I've already put 702 songs on it from my CD collection. :rofl: I still have to transfer my vinyl stuff to MP3 and download some other songs I really want. I may need another iPod to hold the rest... :P

Also got a very generous gift of stock in three companies from my mom. :) She gave me the maximum dollar value allowable under law without tax consequences. Thanks, Mom! :D

Also got the following: nice jewelry box, new pair of dress shoes, assorted sweaters, jeans, and skirts, candy (which I DON'T need but enjoy anyway!), and new sports bras. :woohoo:

What I bought myself: a big Sephora.com order, which was obscenely expensive but stuff I both needed and wanted :P and a very, VERY naughty order from my favorite website (besides DU). ;) Everything arrived before Christmas, which was great!

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

40. clothes! n/t

[crim son]

42. We kept it small.

I got a book of recipes from the Seattle area and a nice paring knife, a book of funny kitty pics, some cash, and a bracelet from my young daughter. A lean Christmas but a good one!

[LuckyTheDog]

43. Shoes

Sounds boring, I know. But they were the waterproof, comfy, nice-enough-for-work shoes I really, really wanted.

[Left Is Write]

44. Just from Santa?

Lots of candy, a Frank Sinatra two-disk collection, two Christmas CDs, new earbuds, The Best Of The Match Game on DVD, and I think that's it for the stocking stuff.

ETA a 500 piece puzzle too.

[Dastard Stepchild]

45. MUCH needed bookshelves...

I seriously have more books than space. One of my classes next term required 15 books alone.

[Skittles]

46. nothing

I do not accept gifts :)
