What did you get for Christmas?

1. 120 Xbox 360 GB Hard Drive
2. Saints Row
3. Saints Row 2
4. Crackdown
5. Dead Rising
6. NBA 2k9
7. Need for Speed Carbon
8. Socom Confrontation

Not bad at all! Too bad I am still playing all the games from the fall. Will I ever catch up?
 
I didn't ask for anything from anyone but I still ended up getting plenty.

The little woman got me some Simpsons glasses, a few 1:18 scale exotics to add to the collection and a Harmony 1000 remote for my home office.

Parents got me a new leather coat, messenger bag, some dress shirts, a few other pieces of clothing and some new toys and gigantic bones for my dogs.

The surprise was definately all the gifts I've received from clients the past 2 weeks. A bunch of booze and gift baskets ranging from $20 chocolate assortments to a bottle of Crown Royal XR and to top it off one of my clients sent me an Omega Seamaster watch.
 
I got a PS3 (80gb) with another controller, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, and Little Big Planet. (Oh and an HDMI cable ;))

I also got Professor Layton :bounce:
We got the Pokemon Mystery Dungeons, lol
(I got my BF Chrono Trigger and Build-A-Lot for DS, so I'll play them too)

I also got an iHome, $20 Gamestop card, $25 JC Penny card (I never shop there)

And a box of star cookies :D
 
My uncle gave me this...

Every year my mom goes all-out and I feel guilty about it.. she spends about $750 on each me and my sister every year. This year the two big things were this and this and a couple other things.

My dad gave me $450 (and my sister $250, haha)... the grand cash total from all family was about $800.

I appreciate it, but still, it's too much... I'm not a very materialistic person, I don't need this much crap. Even if it's cool crap.
