<div class="IPBDescription">So What'dja get?</div>It's that time of year again to tell your favourite forum-friends what you're just overjoyed to have received over christmas, if it be a new toy or just the joy of family and friends write about it here!
Personally I'm ecstatic to have my family visiting over from Australia, even if it is only for 10 days.
As for material gains I'm extremely pleased to have received a new graphics card (Ati 4870 512mb) and an LCD monitor to replace my ancient 19" behemoth of a CRT.
So what about you guys? What's great about this christmas for you?

Not a bad run :D
I'm buying myself a nexus one when they come out, that'll be my big christmas present.

I want to toss out the question:
Did any one give something they are particularly proud of/think we would be interested in?
My only thing that I was particularly proud of was giving a few people packages of <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/wacky-edibles/ab3f/" target="_blank">Miracle Berry Tablets</a>, as these seem to be relatively new on the market, and I know a number of people who have been wanting to play with miracle berries.
Anyway I'm done reading the book. It was a nice book.

My balls make every one jealous.
People couldn't stop playing with them on xmas eve.
As my family suck at the internet I ordered for myself a pair of 5.1 headphones (roccat kave) and thinkgeek's personal soundtrack t-shirt: <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/interactive/a5bf/" target="_blank">http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/interactive/a5bf/</a> which I feel pretty proud of.

Don't forget to show your balls to visitors. I'm sure they will be enticed.
Buffalo Wings.... For many years I've heard many jokes about flying buffalo roaming the skies and whatnot. And I'm fully aware that they get their name from their origins in Buffalo. But never once have I ever considered that it's weird that Buffalo Wings are drumsticks until two days ago.
It may not have been profound or even important. But my mind has been temporarily blown.
White shirts
Underwear
Hangover Unrated
Inglorious Basterds (Blu-ray0
I bought myself a new airsoft rifle as a gift to myself.
Echo 1 AK-47 with blowback. It's nice.

Still haven't gone to my mom's house, which I'm doing shortly. I think I'm just getting dinner from her and her husband. That's good though, I'm starving.
May also buy Borderlands. Got it for a friend and it's fun. Tempting on Demon Soul's too. (PS3)
<ul><li>Two novels</li><li>Cook book</li><li>Blackadder- series on dvd</li><li>American History X dvd</li><li>A mountain of candeh</li><li>A gyro-/powerball</li><li>Nokia 3120</li></ul>
I also bought L4D2 for myself from the Steam sale, though I'm on limited access since my laptop is still borked.
That powerball thingy is madness. I did know of their existence, but I never tried one. Mine has a RPM meter on it and I intend to break 10k rpm record before the end of the year.
Oh em gee, I forgot to mention my new cellphone.
Some puzzles and a new wallet. Christmas cheer. And a dumbfounding realization on Christmas Eve.

Well, the originals were wings, and the places that are 'serious (seriously, serious about a bar snack?) serve wings.
New Soldering Iron
24" widescreen HDTV (Super excited to get this back to my apartment, I didn't own a TV prior to this. Finally I can play my 360 that's been sitting in the closet gathering dust.)
Halo 3: ODST
1-year sub to XBL Gold
Lots of candy and a couple bottles of liquor.
Tadgear Tan softshell
Merrell intercepters (moth brown)
Canon 55-200 IS lens
Springfield armourys redwood 1911 grips
Then the usual socks and sweeties.
Overall, can't complain.
Oh, and of course buying random stuff on the Steam sales.

A few books, clothing articles, a SKS Rennkompressor, a calendar, a Spiegel subscription.
Thank goodness my family stopped buying electronics, without consulting me first :D
I got depressed.
