So - what did you get?

Re: So - what did you get?

Got:

A new guitar (bought it for myself today) and possibly a record deal in 09'.

Yeah, not really gifts from other people, but if I'm smiling, it don't matter. I don't like getting gifts from my family. Just being with them is good enough.

Gave:

2 Xbox 360
2 PS3
12 Games (Xbox 360 and PS3)
Trip to France (My brother)
Trip to Italy (My parents)
Various Toys (little cousins)
Various Football and Hockey jerseys
Hockey Tickets

I gave a bunch of other things, can't really think right now though!

Holy crap man.... You are an awesome gift giver. Want to be friends?

Aha yeah man.

This year I went all out. I haven't celebrated Christmas with the family in four years, so I wanted to be Santa this year! I had also realized that if I wasn't going to spend the extra money on myself, I would spend it on others to make everyone happy. And so, that's what I did!

Re: So - what did you get?

I didn't get very many gifts..but I'm at the point to where I don't really need much anymore..


-Issey Miyake gift set(cologne, bar of soap, and shower gel)
-2 pair of really nice wool socks from Kinnucan's
-4 pair of dress socks
-candy
-$100 from my grandfather and $100 from my other grandmother
-$60 from random relatives
-3 Polo Oxford shirts from my sister and her husband
-$3,000 check from my parents($2,500 is for my fraternity dues for the Spring semester)



I'm thinking of using some of the $760 in cash to make the front passenger seat of my WJ a power heated seat like my driver's seat. I'd also get the leather re-done on both seats since the leather is getting pretty worn(damn Jeep is only 4 years old too, pisses me off)

Re: So - what did you get?

Well, actually celebrated today with my mom and dad, as I was with my fiance and her family yesterday..

Gave my mom and dad a gift certificate to a restaurant, and a "Parents" plaque. Also gave them a card with a personalized note from me, as they were there for me big time during my "unemployed" times..

I received a Shea Stadium plaque, some new shirts, a new camera (as mine had broke a while back) and some other odds and ends..
