So, for Christmas, I got:
- The action figure sized Millenium Falcon to go with my X-wing, Y-wing and Tie Fighter (btw, the original Falcon and X-wing were about 100x times the quality of the newer versions; I never had the Tie Fighter).
- Return of the King SE (with the Minas Tirith Jewlery box)-technically, I bought this for my wife and myself.
- Springfield Arms Model 1911-A1 .45 Pistol (omg omg omg omg).
- My mom preordered KOTOR 2 for the PC for my brothers and I..she is more hip than I thought!

What did y'all get?

So, apistol is an odd Christmas present, but a drinking game is ok? I guess as long as one person doesn't get both...
I bought thepistol for myself with my Christmas bonus, so it's not like I had it given to me, BUT my brother got a rifle from his partner. You obviously don't know about Wyoming...

Thats when you buy yourself presents and mark them as if they were from your kids.
I was always excited to see what I had got for my Dad Christmas morning. I think he was sad when I got old enough to buy my own presents for him. "Look Papa! A scarf! Whooo hooo!"
What did I get...
1. Everquest 2
2. A new headset for Teamspeak
3. A 4-foot long handpainted sign that reads "barefoot on the beach"
4. A teapot and loose leaf tea (Earl Grey)
5. A sweater that screams TREE HUGGER!!! (it even has a fringe!)
6. A miniture Zen sand garden
7. A 12 inch high spun glass statue of a snowman skating on one foot (shudder)
It was an odd Christmas.
Oh ya... and a vibrating chair massager.
Its scary.

Oh you cant beat a good brew in the morning. Im a PG man myself and think theres no better wakeup call than being at uni at 9am (still yesturday as far as im concerned), full english breakfast (2 fried eggs, 2saussage, 2 rashers of bacon, baked beans, fried mushrooms, toast and butter), a pot of tea, the morning paper, a comfy sofa, a view of the valley and all your friends around just starting to wake up.
Ah utter bliss
