I figured I'd get Dexter and Deadwood...definitely surprised with the complete Sopranos collection and then two seasons of Breaking Bad.

Beantown, my mom does the same thing for me and my two sisters. I'm 34 and they are 30 and 28...and married. It's a little ridiculous. She has scaled back over time but it's still too much. in my opinion. She gets mad at me every year because I won't give her a Christmas list until the 11th-hour. I don't want much of anything, really. Plus I don't want to encourage her at all.

Anyway, here's what I got:
- Miami Hurricanes hoodie
- Xavier long-sleeve t-shirt
- 2 pairs of jeans
- Pair of black pants
- COD: Black Ops
- 2 Equalizer EQ2 Register Boosters (when you move into a house with a room added on that has no ductwork, which you eventually put in yourself, you'll understand why these will help)
- A couple of books, some cash, and a few other things

Like 4 remote control cars
3 Remote control helicopters
A $25 amercian express gift card
A nikkon coolpix touch screen camera
Candy
Microsoft Kinect
and the walmount for it

My mother-in-law got me a toaster that puts the Jets logo on my toast! Oh and my wife got me a white authentic Jets jersey with my last name and fav number.

Not here. I used to get a ton of gifts. My parents spent WAY too much money on me as a child. I probably doubled or tripled what most kids got for Christmas. I guess that's what comes with being the only child(you're spoiled). I used to feel bad for my best friend as he wouldn't get that much for X-Mas(he has a sister too, but his parents actually make more money than mine) and he'd always tell me how lucky I am. But once I turned 18, it was like the difference between night and day. I only got a few gifts and most of them were things that I needed. This year they bought me a bunch clothes and that's it. No complaints though. Nowadays I can buy anything that I want so anything that they give me for my birthday or X-Mas is just money that I don't have to spend myself.

See that's the other thing about it too. If I want something, I just go buy it myself. More than one person over the years, especially when I moved out of my parents' house about 10 years ago, has told me how hard it is to buy gifts for me. My Christmas list anymore, when I actually make one up, will consist of a few things I need and maybe a couple of things I want. The few things I listed this year, I got. You're right, it is money I don't have to spend on myself, which is nice.
