Beer (Chimay Gift Pack with Chalace, 8 Petrus Old Brun, 4 St. Peters, 1 amazing Delierum Noel, 6 random Euro-style pilsners)

Even with all that, the best gift was watching my Daughters eyes light up with every new package whe was handed and tore upon with glee (followed shortly by the manditory attempt to eat the wrapping paper). I\'d post her list but I think cmon would run out of memory. Lots of board and touch and feel books and quite a bit of Lamaze and Fisher Price toys mainly, a few Baby Einstine DVDs to round things out.

Oooh mamma! Fear my pressure sensitive drawing power. Completely unexpected and way overgenerous gift from my parents, bless \'em. I\'ve been after one of these for ages.

The family got together and bought one of these for my son as well. He\'s in hog heaven right now! Congrats on that!

 

[mud duck]

fun are they not?
Did you go with the \"cheap\" one, or the \"professional\" model?

Oh and Liz, if your boy likes comic book, see if you or he can find \"How to Color for Comics\" by Antarctic Press. Makes good use of the tablet and PhotoShop. I find it to be a good practice in getting use to working \"off\" the screen, and just plain fun to color with

Gilvan: I finallly got past the aneurisms today You need to inject a load of that green stuff to bring the vitals up before you use the Healing Touch. Then you need to work really fast to suture the vessels before the aneurisms burst.

Hummm...

Sounds interesting, may have to give it a try.

 

[NINJAWIZARD]

Wife got me a Sony Handycam w/ 30g hard drive (can finally film our zombie movie!), a new watch to replace the one that I guess I lost?, the same two DVD\'s I bought her... and some shirts.

Her family got me some gift cards, a few bucks in loose change, a beard trimmer (yeah I asked for it), some outdoors clothing (thermals, fleece, wool socks, a badass fur hat), Spaceballs: Collectors Edition, Deadwood: Season 3.
The $100 Lowes gift card is cool. Can finally build a fish tank stand for my bastard-sized 37 gallon tank.

A4, which I\'ve always been pretty positive will be more than big enough and it\'s looking like that\'s the case. I\'ve already remapped it so that I\'m not using the entire tablet. I might have to change it again once I get back to my place and have to get it to work with my multi-monitor setup though, but all the experimenting is fun right now!

Now I need to start learning how to use it properly, rather than just scribbling all sorts of madness in Photoshop.

My parents got us a beautiful roasting pan in which we cooked our Christmas goose. First time I have ever eaten goose, btw. I liked it.

Bought myself a new computer (absolutely necessary - last upgrade was around 2000), some of Valloa\'s minis, and I won one of Vincegamer\'s auctions - his Dwarf miner.

We spent alot of $ for medical expenses this year, so we promised ourselves some self control for the holidays.

Yah...green stuff seems to fix most anything. If you can find some duct tape too you\'re really in business.

Mine:
--Too many mini\'s to list, but all from GW, Rackham, and Reaper and all awesome. Bout 20 in all.
--a $25 gift card to GW which I spent on a box of Eldar rangers
--A brand new shiny Dremel Stylus!
--A new optivisor
--Some new W&N series 7\'s
--Some super nice clothes from Eddie Bauer
--a back scratcher (from my three year old which was awesome)
--a new lighted glass display cabinet (6 footer and solid glass)
--Got my bow restrung
--and a partridge in a pear tree.

 

[azcrwr]

Only 365 days to go folks!

I got:
new compound bow (I\'m taking up archery)
Hand and arm guards for the above
DVD\'s for Auntie Mame, The Women, and the 1st (and probably only) season of the Dresden Files
Really pretty pajamas (pink and black toile)
body butter (NOT yak)

Good gifts, but not a great Christmas...my Dad looked terrible and his mind is sort of wandering and he seems very depressed...all of a sudden, too. Doctors don\'t seem to know what\'s wrong. I\'m kind of scared....aren\'t our Dads supposed to live forever? Please?

Check your weather reports.

Because i think hell froze over. This Christmas my wife gave me....(wait for it) Miniatures. She got in on the Hasslefree sale. I never thought that would happen.

I also got clothes and sugar free goodies.

And my wife also found Moosehead beer.

I think she is going to kill me soon.

 

[Onis Lair]

As my wife and i are really one unit instead of two people, the majority of our gifts were \"mutual\" gift cards.

$50 Barnes and Noble card
$100 Mastercard
$50 Harkins Movie Theater card
$25 Applebee Restaurant card
$50 Best Buy card
$25 Itunes card (Wife only)

From the wife...
Really soft pig shaped pillow (There is a reason)
Warcraft Horde T shirt

For my wife i got her,
Alliance warcraft T shirt
Hellsing anime diary
warcraft complete manga collectors book
Spectrum 14 (Art book)
2 new draw manga books
vol 1-8 hellsing manga books

Of course the wife and I this year chose to buy a gift for us both, a new baby kitten we named Suger... (But would have been more truthfully named \"little horrid stinking crap machine that gets into everything but is too cute to scold\'.)

 

[Ebonbuddha]

My wife got me some comics too. She got me book three and four of the 30 Days of Night series.

and a digital compendium of every Fantastic Four Comic published from 1961-2006!

That is some serious reading...

 

[Roger Bunting]

@Jondalar. Congratulations! That\'s truly a great present.

@EbonBhudha. You know, I was so shocked that I fell off my chair. The minis didn\'t have food smeared all over them, did they?

Born 24th at 8.40am after a 40 min labour.

And his VERY proud \"big\" brother thought Lucas was the best present too!!

Now that\'s a very expensive present!
Congrats to You and your Missus.
