I got a Sigma 70-300mm lens for my DSLR, CoD World at War, and two cases of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and a soap rhino from my girlfriend, I'm happy.

150+ screwdriver bits and an auto screwdriver - hoping for a sonic screwdriver next year.
TITAN (reprint) - finally got my copy, only paid for it in April...
Soap from Bruce Campbell's company.

Thats about it.

Sadly my grandfather slipped on the ice and broke four ribs. He's in the hospital so we couldn't open any gifts from them yet. I'd rather see him better though.

I had a great holiday:
I got some cash from friends and family towards financing a new furnace (yeah it died on tuesday the new one will get installed next monday)
and
my wife got me a car charger for my ipod since the battery is pretty much useless.

Well its been a busy year. I just got married in November and helping pay for that was a great present from our families. Plus we moved earlier this month so its been expensive. We bought ourselves a new couch and new pots, pans and dishes. So we decided not to do much for xmas. Still got a pair of shoes and i got her a gift card to her salon. got some cash and tea from my dad and some a few small things from mom. overall a great holiday.

I got some various clothing items, a new wallet, an 8 gigabyte memory stick for my PSP and a silver Nintendo DS along with Castlevania:Order of Ecclesia and Ninja Gaiden. Overall, I'm quite pleased.

I am overseas at the moment, away from loved ones, but my girlfriend did buy me a gorgeous beanie which was lovely.

Ha! My wedding will be at 7:00 PM today. (I just got back from my 'bachelor party' and am blitzed right now.)

The help from our family has been the sweetest present I've gotten this year. My mom's family alone numbers around 85 total people (aunts, uncles, cousins), so it's turning out to be a big deal. There's no way we could afford this on our own.

In fact, this could be my last post for a while. Going to Austin, TX for the honeymoon - which also would not be possible at all without the help of our families. You all have a Happy New Year and all that good stuff!

i got some gift cards and a couple dvd's. my grandma got me some socks.

my girlfriend bought me tickets to see HUM's reunion show in chicago on new year's (fuuuuuck yes).

i also bought myself a G1. that was pretty much my haul. my son cleaned up, tons of toys, dvd's, candy, etc. his favorite gift was the $10 dinosaur playset i bought him though. great success!
