Okay what did everyone get for the Holidays?
I got my 60" Big Screen TV, a ton of DVD's, clothes, and for my podcast a USB mixer and fancy new microphone. All in all it was a pretty good Christmas.
I was spoiled this year and got my ipod touch, a keyboard (both early) Then my kids got me I Robot on Dvd, the first season of monk, and Catherine got me a cool new insulated coat for my walks. Amy got me a waffle iron! I've wanted one for some time. We got to spend some nice time with my in laws today. We played Yahtzee Free For all. That was fun.
Then I went and visited my Grandma at the nursing home. That was hard. She is like 89 and didn't know who we were half the time. It was sweet to spend time with her, but hard. I got to visit with my folks on the phone. That was good too.
It was a nice Christmas.
My presents included a new cellphone, food, and money. All the supplies for a college student.
Tomorrow we're gonna go out and see a movie with our Pastor's Family. Great Winter break and Holiday so far.
I got a XBOX 360, DVDs(Mythbusters Season 5 and Tropic Thunder) and the usual stuff.
I got the Star Wars Encyclopedia, a Hasbro Sith Starfighter for my ship colection, some clothes, a George Forman grill as I cook a lot, some framed pictures of my family, a lot of cash, and a lot of quality time with or family and friends back here in CT. :)
Well, I got the Star Wars Encyclopedia, The Marvel Vault book, a Hasbro Jedi Starfighter and Tie Interceptor, some clothes, and a couple of DVD TV season sets (Smallville 7 & Heroes 2).
I got the DC Vault & Absolute Kingdom Come books.
I got a few action figures.
Marvel: Guardian & Union Jack
DC: Cyborg Superman & Mongul
I also ordered for myself last week (with some expected Christmas gift money) a remote control Knight Rider. :) I'm hoping it arrives today.
My wife got me the Hallmark Imperial Shuttle ornament.
Well, my wife and I dont usually exchange gifts, as we get enough stuff during the year. But the kids got some cool stuff...my 18yo got money and Spore(for PC).
My 4yo got tons of military action figures/vehicles and a bike.
My 10yo got a video game, a pellet rifle/2 pistols, and various other stuff.
Well, my geek buddy at work did get me one of those AirHogs, the little helicopter. And I got him the Art Asylum TOS Enterprise for his new office. We stood in his office with the lights out, giggling like little kids, for about 20 minutes pushing the button to make all the lights and sounds go.
(And yes, the urge did hit me to grab it and run up and down the hall making warp noises, but I didnt)
And about 30 minutes crashing the helicopter.
I got some cash, a nice Fossil wallet, Dark Knight and a cool brain teaser contraption from my father in law. It's the second one he's gotten me so I guess we've begun a tradition! I'll try and post a picture of it later on.
I got the complete Monty Pyhton series box set on DVD, Casino Royale 3 disc edition, a film production diary, a mushroom growing kit, 4 real ale stle handle bubble glasses (the old ones you used to get in pubs in the 60's here), a fob watch holder for my study, loads of chocolate, money and some tardis socks. Very cool and much apreciated.
We got.....
Dark Knight, Mummy 3, and The Transformers on Blu-Ray
Emergency! (season 1) (I loved this show as a kid)
Airwolf (Season 1)
Lego Indiana Jones (PS3)
Call of Duty: World at War(PS3)
Various clothes and other miscellaneous small gifts.
I t was a great Christmas, the girls loved it and fun was had by all
Lego Indy is a great game. I'd rank it slightly ahead of Lego Star Wars and just behind Lego Batman. Have fun with that.
wow I got a serious haul. Let's see if I can remember it all. New phone and bluetooth to go with it. New video card and monitor to my old computer that my wife was borrowing ( She got a new one). Scene It Box Office Smash for 360. The DC Animation collection that comes with a slipcase and room for the next two movies. (Gotham Knight, New Frontier, and Death of superman came with it). New boots and clothes, cash, Monopoly Here and now edition.
I did not get to many sci-fi type things for Christmas. I got some DVD's: Dark Knight, Clone Wars, Tropic Thunder, The Office season 4. I got the second Darth Bane paperback book, a Charging Station for my Wii controllers and some cool Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek Comics. After Christmas, I bought a Xbox 360 which was on sale.
I got I am Legend of DVD.
I also got the STAR WARS VAULT Book. Was very excited when I opened that present. :)
Most of our family upgraded our phones so I got the LG Voyager Cell phone.
Also got the IPod Classic so now I can watch video podcasts on my ipod rather than my computer.
Bunch of Star Trek/wars books as well.

Read EVERY page and insert and look all ALL the extras. Well worth it. :)
I got a flash for my new camera a canon sx 10 IS , season 3 of Battlestar galactica and seasons 1,2,3, of CSI Miami
I got a $100 gift certificate to Bannana Republic and three Audrey Hepburn movies (Charade, Breakfast At Tiffany's and Wait Until Dark) from David. His parents bought me the Orange Box and the complete Lego Star Wars for the XBOX 360 and a $50 Visa gift card. My family made gifts for each other...but my brother broke the rules and bought me 1600 Microsoft Points. I've been playing Geometry Wars with Dave and Pool with my brother over XBOX Live while I recover from the cruddy cold my little 4-year-old niece and 5-month-old nephew gave to me over the holidays. It was worth it though...I couldn't pass up playing with them. I gave her a Leap Frog and a game to go with it (Jedi Math). She loved it. She had never played a game with a D-Pad and control stick...But once I showed her how she mastered it very quickly. :)
Oh Jen you are soooooooo going to love Lego Star Wars. I've played it three times (mainly to get all free story and jedi master ratings). For me its the est of all teh lego games on the 360. Definatly think you got a bundle of geeky gifts this year. :)

Oh, I've played all of them on the PC already. I do love them, so they gave me the 360 version. Now to earn some Achievements. :D
I have Lego Star Wars on the DS and it's a blast.
The highlight has to be the iPhone and to be honest that's probably the only tech toy. I'm a PDA head as much as a Sci-Fi fan so adding an iPhone to my Palm and Windows Mobile devices seems logical.
I also got a cardboard 'build a dalek' kit which I've mostly completed. I keep looking at the kids with the eye stalk on my head. That's about it on the Sci-Fi front, not even any DVDs this year :(
Ha ha nice one Feathers. Think we need a photo with the Dalek stalk on your head.
I generally don't get much for Christmas, but my brother tends to get me something geeky - this year be bought me 'Star Trek Legacy' on the Xbox and a four leaf clover in 'space gel' :)
