So, for Christmas, I got some stuff for myself, and I also got some stuff that I have never expected to get.  I was gonna list them all in that thread in the general forums, but figured, eh, I won't bore the people w/ a long list of stuff that people probably don't care about, so I'll put it in my blog, so only the people that do care will read it and maybe share some of their gifts w/ me.

So, for this Christmas, I got:

1) Guitar Hero 3 for PS2 - I am pretty much addicted to this game because I do play guitar, quite well actually, and I swore to conquer this game
2) Front lower control arms for my car - I think mine got bent back in the day when I used to drift my car on the street and when I hopped a curb.  These fresh ones from the factory comes with new ball joints and everything so it should fix my car plus will be sort of an upgrade  lol
3) Xtreme Ernie from Sesame Street - kinda like the xtreme Tickle Me Elmo, but Ernie.  Our laughs kinda sound alike, it's pretty funny  lol
4) A USB cup warmer, for my morning coffee to last more than 30 min before it goes cold.  Plugs right into the USB port of my computer and gets the power from there.  Has cool LED lights too.
5) Couple of shirts - hopefully they fit me.
6) A ginormous universal remote - has huuuuuge buttons on there, that I think my neighbor from across the street can see, so that I can still use it when I'm like 90 and can't see  lol
7) A customized Polo (Ralph Lauren) shirt from my parents.  My wife got a matching one, but has her initials instead of mine  lol  Black shirt w/ gold stitching ftw!!
8) A Johnson acoustic/electric guitar!!  Didn't expect this one!  From my mother-in-law too!
9) Eh, screw it, "a lot more other stuff"  lol

I did get myself a set of bad butt wheels, and some bad butt turbo parts for my car.

Bought my wife a Sony digital camera, and helped out on buying her DDR for my PS2, but for her to play (helped because I didn't have the cash, but I picked out the present, so her mom bought it and said it was from her, but I picked it out dang it!).

Anyway, that was a kind of condensed list.  Hopefully you guys have gotten what you wanted plus more!

Mmm.... I didn't do too bad this year... "spoiled" as my parents (continue to) say to me.

1) Nintendo Wii with Super Mario Galaxy and Zelda
2) Cuisinart Art Griller (electric grill, can't BBQ in my building, its been driving me nuts for 2 years)
3) Cuisinart Art Rice Cooker
4) Two-foot Long Pepper Mill
5) Planet Earth (Watch It.)
6) A variety of kitchen wares, glasses, wine glasses, plates, tools, etc
7) Gift Certificates for the Mall
8) Also, "A lot more other stuff" ;)

Had a not too bad Christmas - spent Christmas Eve at my parents house, Liz (the GF) spent Chirstmas Eve at her parents. In the morning, we opened some presents together, and I assisted my mother with the feast. Ended much too soon, back to work first thing on the 26th

Man, we were supposed to have started opening presents at like 10am on the 25th at my mother-in-law's house, then going to this Christmas party at my parents' friends' housing community's club house.

We ended up waking up at like noon, and left straight to the club house for the party, and left to go to my mother-in-law's at like, 5:45 for the dinner at 6pm, only to find out the ham wasn't even in the oven. The ham ended up in the oven by like, 7:30pm, and dinner was served at like 9:30.

We didn't get around to opening the first piece of Christmas present until like, 10:30 or 10:35, and it lasted until around 2am.

Let's just say... we didn't get to bed until around 4am that morning, and my wife had to work the next morning at 11am. Ouch.
