35$ cash, 25$ newegg gift certificate, probably use it towards a mouse for the laptop I recently bought myself, 20$ Dick's Sporting Goods gift card, 3 novelty t-shirts, 2 pairs of jeans, an electric razor, something for my golf bag to hold more equipment, and a certificate and coupons for this awesome sounding indoor virtual golf place.

Seems rather profitable to me... I think I might use that Dick's card towards a new golf bag or club or something fun.

80 bucks worth of BestBuy gift cards, a few Regal Cinemas gift certificate things. A new Wireless networking card, a guitar with an amp (nice for me, but I'm just learning). And a few other random things. I'd say this was a great christmas.

30$ best buy card, 30$ books-a-million card
A knife from my brother (who used to be on the swat team) that was custom made and has been laser etched "LCSD SWAT"... there's only 99 others like it in existance
Nice warm blanket (a blue one thank god, very unlike the pink one I had been using!)

And er... that's kinda it for now, none of the immediate family really got a chance to shop this year so we all got a bit shafted. We've all agreed that we'll go shopping for ourselves afterwards, and so I'm hoping for a few polo shirts and a new music app - been looking into Cubase 4 and I like it

Viva Pinata is about drug smugglers and coyotes crossing the mexican border, smuggling their drugs in pinatas.

Actually it's a game in the vein of the Sims and Animal Crossing, but if you ask me it's MUCH better.

Must have been the first crimbo in a loooooooooooooong time that I didn't get any games for.

Was going to wait until Mac World in January for the iphone/ipod update but then decided I'd feel a bit of a twit if they didn't release either so got a video ipod and am a happy chappy with it so far.

Also got a wireless mighty mouse for my mac, hoping to use Blender a bit more now I've got an alternative to the track pad.

A few comedy dvd's, which are now sitting happily on my fishPod.

And the best gift of all, a small slave child to complete all my menial and degrading tasks, also makes a great bog roll holder.

It would appear I've been bitten by the coding bug yet again...
