Lemme see now...

a half dozen blue work shirts
socks
a 5 megapixel Vivitar digital camera
The Illustrated History of the Roman Empire (reading Gibbons Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire currently)
Mediteranean Cooking: An Illustrative Guide (I like pictures)
A headache from dealing with relatives
A REALLY cool Bossk figurine

I got:

• The Wildlife of Star Wars: A field Guide
  Very cool book my wife got me... Great illustrations and covers several planets. It's a hardback book with a fake "Dewback" hide cover and it's written like a naturalists note/sketchbook.
  
• Sid Meier's Pirates! 2 for PC
  
• Pacific Fighters combat sim for PC
  
• a few expansion packs for Microsoft Flight Sim 2004
  
• couple of PS2 games including Star Wars Battlefront
  
• Headphones with Mic for Teamspeak
  
• Wooden boxed old style monopoly set
  

With all these games and related stuff, you'd never know I'm turning 34 in two weeks.

Double tap. The first round may have hit body armor and made them fall down due to hydrostatic shock, or surprise. The second round ensures a target kill.

The standard story of why the .45 became issue is the .38 was not powerful enough to take down the Moro tribesmen in the Phillipines. Drugged, drunk, and withtheir testicles wrapped in wet leather (which was shrinking... owie) it took a larger round to drop them. But, if I want to ensure a one shot kill,I think I would invest in a Desert Eagle .50. And then get a lifetime membership to a chiropractic clinic, take about recoil.

Also, HRT uses a .40 or 10mm last I heard.

The stuff you learn on the History Channel.

Jings.

Well, I got...

A C Grayling "The Meaning of Things"
A collection of essays by Ayer
A collection of essays by Montaigne
Couple of local history books.
Couple of biographies of people that nobody else has heard of

Oh aye, and half a dozen canvases and some new brushes )

Far too much in the way of sweets and chocolates. Though the crystalised ginger WAS lovely.

Oh, and a memory card and some lense filters for my camera...

OTOH, my lad got a Robosapien and he/I/we have been having great fun programming it to impersonate Joey from Friends.

OTOOH, I had a really nice, relaxed Chrimbo with my kids and Mrs. We even had snow on the morning of the 25th. Who could ask for more?

What did I get for christmas... hmmm

best wishes

return of the kingwith Mini-Tirith

the usual shirts, socks etc - what would christmas be without a grandma,who pulls out afar to large sweater -and I'm 202cm tall - it was no sweater, it was more like a HTFB roof. (and i'm sure it would rain through, too)

not to forget the "to-much-family-who-did-what-and-where-and-when-and-why-input-headache" that usually lasts until new year's eve

Oh, and my brother comes into town this weekend with more goodies, so .

So true

I got a wicked set of speakers for my pc that make the walls shake and a bottle of Ardbeg, of which there is a little left that I am doing my best to save for New Year.
