    As fun as it might be I don't think people would appreciate it if I started running round naked! :eyebrow:

    Besides more clothes means I don't have to do the laundry so often at uni!

    Not a great deal in all honesty, mind you I didn't ask for much either.

    A long sleeved shirt, a sweater, a suitcase, and a laptop rucksack to replace my shoulder bag which is/was a PITA. :)

    It's just nice to spend some time with the family.

    The missus bought me a really nice coat (suedey/sheepskin(?) sorta thing), which I wore whilst we walked back after midnight from the outlaws after spending all day there. Nice n warm (froze my ears off though).

    A couple of nice surprises mixed in with socks n bits, was a 128mb usb2 pen drive from my mother and father in-law and a bottle of Diesel toilet water from my brother and sister in-law.

    Had a really good day. Read through Flanimals, which I bought the wife and also played with the 'drumsticks' I got her from iwoot, mucho fun! Slept for about an hour or so while everything quietened down a bit.

    The missus had her present early - I upgraded her pooter a fair bit (Celeron-D o/c to 3ghz, R9700Pro, TFT monitor, etc..) so I think she's chuffed with it.

    Lucky bastige.

    I still have one more on the way (maybe two, I don't know) but aside from that:
    A few shirts
    A watch (little too big for my skinny wrists, but it's the thought that counts :p )
    Some nifty ratshack gadgets (clip-on super-bright LED light... will be muy useful with the truck)
    New padding put in my driver's seat (DESPERATELY needed it, was sitting like a 90-year old man when driving around, highly embarassing with my gf sitting taller than me in the passenger seat)
    And the coolest one so far -- This knife It's not too fancy, but I like it like that. :)


    Meanwhile, the badass gifts I got for my friends/family:
    Best friend: studying music therapy because she loves the idea of helping people via music... and starting to learn guitar... so I got her the Music Therapists Handbook with guitar songbook and another book about music therapy... The handbook actually wound up being on the list she gave to her mom... damn I'm good.
    Best friend 2 (mah brotha'): Almost as geeky as me, I taught him everything he knows... he got You Are Dumb v2 and a bar of caffeinated soap...
    Close friend: obsessed with everything japanese. Has a small collection of small swords... Got her a 45" Katana which happened to almost identically match a wakazashi (sp?) she already had... damn I'm good.
    Girlfriend: obsessed with spiderman... have a stack of comics waiting for her to get back from family christmas stuff and a couple boxes of chocolate cherries... another obsession of hers...
    Mother: New computer, nothing TOO spiffy, but 2500+ based, which is almost 2x the speed of my old-ass computer and over 5x the speed of her old computer :p

    I don't want to add up what I spent on people... but christmas presents and gas combined maxed out my credit card for November and put another $400 this month :p

    After reading the general gifts here...
    - Laptops
    - LCD Screens
    - Digital Camera's (canon eos :eeek: )
    - Expensive Graphics cards
    - Loads of stuff

    and then comparing it to what I got
    - chocolade
    - 25euro

    I just have to conclude that you are all rich and spoiled.
    but good for you though, I feel a bit jealous (just a tiny bit)

    I'm suprised nobody got a car though. ( oh WAIT SOMEBODY DID)
    oh and merry xmas to all ;)
