Are they in a metal container and are something like sweet tarts? I got my kids each one. I saw them at Toys R Us by the checkout register. The candy were a hit with them!

Yep, I got a red one, Ive seen the green ones as well though.

I got $250 in Amazon gift cards so that'll definitely go towards game stuff. Guess that counts. Also, I got Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Not the biggest fan of that game but eh, gonna pop it in right now and check out the new characters. I quite like the roster additions.

Ico & Shadow of the Colossus (PS3)

Enjoy it. The games look freaking amazing. I wasn't a fan of all the PS3 remasters at first, but after playing this, I am now a believer.

[RyaNtheSlayA]

Kindle Touch
Atari Jaguar and 2 games
Official Sega Saturn USB pad
A few games off Steam

I wouldn't normally upgrading my PS2 games to PS3 games, but for SotC just the idea of seeing it run in HD was too awesome for me.

This was also the first Christmas where my son was old enough to have a full understanding of what was going on, and watching him open toys (and play with them) was the best gift of all for a sappy old nostalgic fart like me.

My 3 and 2 year old were in the same boat. The "Santa" magic worked for the first time this year and they had a pretty nice haul. Each of them got a car and track set (one race car one train) from Santa and my oldest got a LeapFrog Explorer (like a kids DS) while the 2 year old got a ton of Mega Blocks from us.
The only present I had under the tree was a nice bottle of Makers Mark and my wife some new slippers.

With my wife out of work and my income being the only one for a family of five the presents were limited but watching my kids, like dsheinem said, was something straight out of a Christmas special. It was that awesome and my most memorable Christmas thus far: Happiness > Presents
