Default What did you get for Christmas?

Show off your stash here!

I got a bigass book on Monty Python, some cash, a jacket, and a Chinese knock-off BMW belt.

Oh, and one of these...

I bought one of these for myself (Syntax-Olevia 32 inch LCD TV)

My parents bought me one of these, except the seal on the lampshade is that of my alma mater (Virginia Tech)

I also got some miscellaneous clothes, and cooking supplies (cookbooks, big paella pan, big cast iron pot, etc...)

$25 gift card to Walmart, Guitar Hero 2, a model Chevrolet Corvair, a Sirius satelite radio, and a 4-day event package ticket to the Rolex 24 at Daytona that includes driving my own car around the track as part of the parade lap.

The ticket is probably the one thing I'm happiest about, but having a radio that works (in a way, thanks to the satelite unit) is pretty good, too.

Excellent. I bought one of those for my Birthday, and it was a really good investment. I'd also get a Netflix subscription if you don't already have one, as it's the best source for HDDVD movies (since they are $25 - $35 each).
