I got gas money to take a road trip out to New York with my brothers.
The rest, I have no clue, because the family doesn't arrive until tomorrow. |

Rock. Band. II. Busy. 'Nuff said.
Oh, and at this point, I've probably been given four electronic Sudoku games as gifts over the years.

| I got an emergency weather alert radio and that thermal-reflective blanket on my winter survival pack list. No extended family over, but I did get to talk to my many creditors. Still have another 40 months on my season of giving. |

Lots of books  Including "Euler: The Master of Us All", "The Feynman Lectures", I finally found a decent text on Umbral Calculus as well as a couple on Group Theory, plus a few more random ones. I spent three hours in the Math/Science section at Borders' with over $200 in gift certificates. I love Christmas |

Merry belated Christmas! I would have posted earlier, but one of the things my family got for Christmas was a new modem, and it's still not working properly, so the internet's been kinda messed up (just flickering on and off randomly). Anyway, here's my list of Christmas presents!
- A case for my iPod
- Speakers of rmy iPod
- A bunch of video games for the Nintendo Wii including Guitar Hero World Tour
- Some charging docks for my Wii remotes
- A few books from family members
- Some Sharpies (yay!
 )
and my favorite present of all time...
- A brand new Samsung LCD HDTV!!! (super yay! )
So you might say I had a pretty good Christmas! Since I don't know how long the internet will be working, and how long it will stay out next time it does flicker off again, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Wow, Either most of you guys have rich parents or you must be only children.
This is the grand total of items that I got for Christmas...
- $60 for gas money to New York
- 40 dice for playing liar dice
- Game of rook
I guess that when you have a large family (4 brothers, 2 sisters, 2 sister-in-laws, and 3 nephews) things change a little bit. Since my immediate family is so large we always do a white elephant style gift exchange with the family members. It makes it quite interesting though. I almost snagged a DVD of "Life is Beautiful" and some hot-chocolate and hot-apple-cider. I had it on the last round, but my Mom snagged it from me. I was able to reclaim the dice though, so I was still pretty excited.

Yeah I agree with you. I'd never get something like an LCD TV. I'd have to pay for that. But it's still cool that he got one though. I did get a car though in August before I started college so I'm not complaining. I'm happy with what I have. :biggrin: |

Well, technically the TV isn't just mine. It was a gift for me, my brother, and my sister. But still, I got over $250 worth of video games, so I'm most definitely not complaining! |

| Final Fantasy IV, Chrono Trigger, a bunch of books, and some much-needed shirts (my younger brother is just my size, so he "accidentally" steals my shirts). My bros got some Wii games, but overall a good Christmas. And now I have a real reason to get Sony to give the PSP a font like Courier - so that walkthroughs load correctly. |

I got a bunch of food, although I specifically mentioned I'd prefer less food and more gift cards.
Also, 300 and some odd dollars towards university, as well as luggage.
On the fun side, I got LittleBgPlanet and Resistance 2, gift cards for games, and a book about the history of E=mc². |
