A namco TV game, the thing looks and sounds just like the arcade games.
Cordless Microsoft mouse, Lord of the Rings 12 DVD box set, Pants and $5000 from my parents with strings attached.
1, we have to put $1000 of it in a five year cd for my son.
2, $1000 has to be used to finish the house.
3, we have to go out and spend at least a $100 on dinner.
4, the rest is to do as we please.
That came as a total suprise, the only other time my dad has given me such a large amount of money is when my wife and I got married.
.......and a bunch of snow.

I got some cool stuff..
Over all of these things below.. the best was that my Sister complied (I should say scan and printed) all of these old photo's of my family.. I mean really old photo's like great great grandfather's ECT...
And printed a few pages of info for reference.
She put them in a nice "wood" covered photo album.
You can get any better then that, in my book..
Some other things..
A very awesome Logitech Mx 510 USB optical mouse.
Two vintage game controllers.. you know.. they have like 5 vintage "80's" arcade games inside.. http://www.jakkstvgames.com/main.html
Frank Sinatra Gold Cd, some of his greatest hits.
Duran Duran Astronaut - New Cd box set.. with a Dvd
lots of shirts...
And a awesome bottle of rassberry liquor and vodka,
with two nice shot glasses...
this will be consumed on my day off on Tuesday..
while I watch the incoming snow storm we are suppose to have..

I got an insane ammount of stuff for Christmas, I'll just post the big stuff.
Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides again
I got this SWEET folding poker tabletop that has WPT logo's and whatnot on the face of it, the nearest thing I could find to it in a hurry is below. It also flips over and has a blackjack table on the other side with all the bets cardslots and everything on the other side. Its really much sweeter than the one in the pic. Maybe I'll take a dig pic after a bit.

I also got a great Executive Poker set with "Dice" styled 11.5g all clay chips.
Also got queen sized inflatable bed
about 500$ in cash
250$ in home improvement gift cards
A very nice black wrought iron bakers rack with glass shelves
A bunch of clothes
and most importantly
Nothing catastrophic happened to my family this year!
For the last 4 or 5 years we've had someone diagnosed with cancer or die @ christmas time.
Hope everyone had a Happy and safe holiday!!!
