Official CAG 2007 "Look what I got for Christmas!" thread

I purchased 5 seasons of King of the Hill for myself. Ill see what I get tomorrow from my family, but I didn't ask for anything really.
 
a couple more:

$50 AMEX gift card from my work which I spent on a dinner at Fuddruckers with my friend, 2 movie tickets for Sweeney Todd, and a new hat

$50 cash from my father which will be spent on gas for my car and my electric bill.

more food from my mom, same stuff as above except add rice and beef to the list.

I think I may still receive a few more loose bucks here & there from relatives tomorrow ^_^v
