We all know that the way this year has been we all are happy to have a roof over our heads and in the grand scheme of things presents aren't important but we all know we look forward to them no matter how small. Its always the the thought that counts and even if you don't celebrate Christmas or didn't exchange presents this year tell us what you did and if you did exchange presents what did you get? So what did everyone get/do for Christmas.

Personally I got money which I will spend. :yes:

I got a electronic CD storage device which will be handy for my extensive gaming collection. :yes:

And finally just little small things like a wallet, an electronic toothbrush, clothes, and a couple other small things. :yes:

As for what I did/am doing today. Last night as with every Christmas Eve my family opened presents and today is Christmas dinner. So pretty simple and plain but I'm always glad that the people important in my life are there to share it with me even if I did lose a couple this past year.

Happy Holidays Everyone. :up:

A Rutgers hat and a phonecall from a depressed Jets fan.
I could'nt have asked for more.
My Christmas is special because of the joy that my wife and I bring to our daughter watching her open her gifts.That to me is the best gift on earth.

I got a Tmobile G1, Hoodie, Sweater, a couple gift cards, and a nice day with my family. I love getting to watch my 11 year old niece and my 3, 2 and newborn nephews open presents. The looks on their faces are priceless.

I got some pretty nice stuff.. Some Dolphins gear, Gears of War 2 Xbox 360 game, Blitz: The League 2 Xbox 360 game, The Dark Knight DVD, Step Brothers DVD, some clothes, and a nice "Die Hard Dolphins Fan" plaque. Getting to see my family is extremely nice because ever since college, I don't get to see them as much as I use to..

Jimi Hendrix box set, IPod speakers, Flip Flops, Jimi Hendrix sweatshirt, and great phone calls from Brothers Celtkin, first&goal, and AzFinFanMang. Thanks for the phone calls brothers, it made my Christmas.:wink2: Spent the day at my in laws for dinner. My brother in law and his wife was there, my nephew, my neice, and my neice, her husband, and there baby, wife's grandmother, and a couple that are friends of ours. Nice day in all.

Talked to my two brothers today, my dad and two cousins. My one cousin in upstate New York is pulling for the Dolphins to win and he is a Jets fan.

A work jacket.
Dirty Harry, Batman I and 300 on Blu-Ray.
3 tree ornaments (Bruins, Athletics and Dolphins).
A **** load of chocolate.
A pair of jeans.
Some shirts (formal stuff).
An electric razor.
Some cash.
A SWEET license plate rim for my car (Dolphins of course).
Crown Royal.

To be honest though this year "Christmas" was WAY more about being together for the Holiday. Great food, drink, friends and family. It was also a white Christmas for the first time I can remember so that made it extra cool.

I want one more thing....an AFC East Championship.

Haha, I was just going to post this thread.

My list.

- Coheed and Cambria CD/DVD LIVE at the Starland Ballroom
- Coheed CD (I now own them all :D)
- Iron Maiden CD
- A lot of clothing including plenty of Dolphins gear
- It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Seasons 1, 2 and 3
- Dolphins calendar (been getting that for about 5 years now)
- Step Brothers movie
- New moccasins (sp?)
- Dolphins car mats
- Huge Dolphins decal for car

I think that's about it.

Those are just material possessions though.

What I'm really glad for is that my family is together and enjoying time together. It's been a pretty difficult year for our family especially my mom. We lost our family dog that we had for 13 years, my cat that was my best friend in the world and only 3 years old and my mom went through her 2nd divorce after 13 years of marriage.

So I'm glad I was able to put a smile on my mother's face with a few really nice gifts.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I want an AFC East title!!!

Good stuff right there. :yes:

- Sony Vaio FW (Titanium Grey), 2.53 GHz, Vista Home Premium, 4 GB memory, 320 GB / 7200 rpm, Blu-Ray Read & Write Drive, XBRITE Full HD. (It came with Casino Royal Blu-Ray, so my Blu-Ray count finally hit 30!)
- Clothes
- Burberry Cologne
- Sean John "I Am King" Cologne
- Couple of Best Buy Gift Cards, one Amazon
- Money, which isn't even a gift to me as I'll use it to spoil my niece / God Daughter even more.

Believe it or not though, even over the Sony Vaio FW, my favorite gift = Jordan Countdown Pack 11 & 12:

The Jordan 11's are my favorite shoes ever made. I was dumb enough to wear them the last time they came out; I'll never wear these. They're precious to me! My girlfriend deserves a wedding ring. She also got me some Blac Label shirts.
