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.

I have been and always will be, your friend.

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. 

Kirk-Fu

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.

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.

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 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.
