Ok guys, this is my first Christmas with all of you so here we go:

2 Round Trip tickets to Hong Kong (Have awesome pics, but can't seem to figure out how to upload them...Help anyone?)

Bvlgari Watch
MP3 Player and.....

A wonderful time with my family!

 

I want to hear what XboxJon got. He has every little cool thing already, getting him something that will intrigue him might be a challenge.

But anyway, I got a camera that I wil probably never use and a new...Toyota Camry. Well not new, but an '02

 

All I got and wanted was my TWO FRONT TEETH
Mer Chrismus

 

I got nothing. Except the Simpsons Season 5 DVD that i bought. I hate Christmas.

 

You hit the nail on the head. My wife and I haven't exchanged gifts for a while. I always buy my "toys" whenever I get the itch, and don't wait for a special occasion. Same with her, if she asks for something, we get it. My parents always get us something though, or ask us what we want. My inlaw's bought us a nice patio furniture set when we moved down here in the summer, as an early xmas present since we sold our old one in the move. My parents always just give us a check to spend it on whatever.

So, Christmas time is for our kids... they had tons of stuff to open up. I got my son's this huge Brio wooden train set, big octagon table and a deluxe track setup with several trains to go on it. He loves it. I picked up my oldest boy (2) this 4ft long Fire Engine with motorized ladder.

I guess the closest thing I got for a present this year was the new watch I ordered the other day. An Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer/Automatic



It wasn't a Christmas present or anything, just some built up "perks" I have with one of the annuity companies that I write alot of business for. If you write a certain amount of business each year they give you a few grand extra to go blow on a toy. 8) I like to collect nice watches, so there you go if you're looking for something that intriques me. :wink:

Considering all I asked for were the cd's and few DVD's I was absolutely thrilled as our christmas' are usually pretty tame.

 

I got to pay a plumber $300 to come over and fix 2 busted pipes. :roll: I'm lucky someone was able to come out and do it. It rarely get's that cold down here and last night was CHILLY, obviously.

I was in the middle of my NFL game with :fden: when this glorious surprise arrived. It took us 20 min. to shut the f'ing thing off.

As far as gifts...my wife and I go all out for the 3 kiddos so I didn't get anything. Although when my wife and I were shopping she said that the kids wanted these stuffed animals from Victoria's Secret. The catch was you had to buy $50 worth of crap to pay $15 for the dogs, so needless to say I got a nice deal there :wink:

 

well, after my laptop crashed again (2nd for the month of december) i bought my new computer HP m1170n and i upgraded the video card to ATI Radeon x700 series w/ new XEROX 17" LCD monitor. half the price of all of these where from my wife
i need this new computer that can make all my casette tapes (lectures) and VCR tapes (documentaries and lectures) to be transformed to CD and DVD files. ...... i need to study the program though... so at least im not going to be technologically challenged
like other guys ahead of me, i usually buy what i need "when necessary".
