I want and am probably going to receive **** all. Xmas is just another day on the calendar for me now. At least I might be able to get my run out of the way this arvo.

[An4ximandros]

Got:

- A TOS Enterprise Pizza Cutter.
- Starship Troopers: Invasion.
- 100$ Costco Card.

Edit: Dragon, looks like you'll be reliving the World Cup!

[Black Wolf]

Got money and vouchers, a nice bottle of Auchentoshan scotch and another of rum, and some boozey accoutrements. Gave (to various people) plane tickets to Melbourne, Little Big Planet Karting, the Battlestar board game, some books, vouchers and Body shop lotiony stuff.

[deathfun]

Did the Eve Tradition of the pajamas gift. Best thing ever really. Soon, eight hours from now, full list

[Nuke]

i got some dremel stuff and a train set. the dremel stuff i needed, like the flex cable and saw attachment, which i needed for my cnc and pcb fabrication projects, respectively. the train set was an n scale alaska railroad set with a basic oval track. i havent been into trains since i was about 6, but it has been quite amusing watching the cat attack the thing. i hear my sister got me something awesome but wont get to open it till the weather is good enough to for them to get the boat cross the narrows in one piece.

[Herra Tohtori]

I got a peel. And a book by Esko Valtaoja, called "Kaiken Käsikirja" (eng. Handbook to Everything), an awl, and some other stuff.

Will probably get a smartphone during the holidays. Have my eye on Samsung S3 at the moment...

[Nuke]

i also got a the Grey Knights Omnibus, in addition to the soldering iron.

[Aardwolf]

Turns out I didn't get AC3 after all. Will maybe buy it for myself anyway.

And needless to say, no return of the aforementioned long-lost female friends. And no world peace afaik.

[Bob-san]

$300, $150 in Newegg giftcards, an 18-piece cookware kit, and some random things I asked for (like a car mount for my cellphone & an FM transmitter). I forgot about a $50 Newegg giftcard (from my birthday) and the $150 gift card arrived late--I already placed an order for a GeForce GTX 670 and a Windows 7 Pro license.

DSLR camera. =]

I was originally looking at SLR/SLT models at similar prices, but decided that I would end up not using them due to the weight.

Cookies
Chocolate
A Winter Jacket

Girlfriend's nephews and niece: clothes for each, and some dollar store toys (except one who we gave a CD Walkman I had and a bunch of blank CDs)

Plan to get with Xmas money:
Shoes. I'll be on full time shortly and my shoes are terrible
Computer Case (if I get to a computer shop) - the one I'm using is pretty terrible, frankly
PSU - again, I'm using a piece of junk right now that I don't trust.

[Bob-san]

LHN91, at least for the last two items... Corsair 200R & Corsair CX750 are my budget recommendations.

[LHN91]

LHN91, at least for the last two items... Corsair 200R & Corsair CX750 are my budget recommendations.

Which are both excellent options, but here in Canada comes to about $180 before taxes. And I have $135, and about $50 of that needs to go to shoes. What I was looking at was a Cooler Master K350 which will be on sale for $24.99 and/or a Corsair CX500 on sale for $29.99 (enough considering the system it'll be going in, Core2Quad Q6700 with a GTX 650) - both of which are on sale for boxing day at a computer store that normally I would have no issue getting to, but as I am unable to drive at the moment it is much more difficult to get there. So it depends on whether I get a ride and if the lineup isn't too bad.

Anyhow, wrong place to have parts discussions, carry on!

[StarSlayer]

I received a Gunbai-Dansen, a Japanese War fan used by Daiymo to give directions to troops.  It's pretty awesome.

Also a Kindle Paperwhite that I've already started using, some awesome socks, a sweater, a nice shirt and some gift cards. 

[Klaustrophobia]

i got a few odds and ends.  will be doing self christmas shopping later.  the parents are probably going to give me money, because they can't not get me stuff for christmas even when i don't want or need anything. 

and didn't get COMPLETELY shut out by the lady.  2 texts received so far, one general 'merry christmas' probably mass texted to her entire contact list, and an actual response to one i sent her saying she wasn't ignoring me.  not sure i completely believe that yet.  remains to be seen if i will get to actually see her in person.  or even talk on the phone for that matter.  if not, trying to gather the testicular fortitude to leave the voice message containing what i should have said a long damn time ago but pussied out of every time i had a chance. 

who has a time machine i can borrow?

[Zero Serenity]

I would say perhaps she has something in mind.

Or just dump her new year's eve. That'll make you feel good.
