I got kicked in the balls.  I made fun of my old man's old Army uniform, apparently he liked it.

It still sucks

[Viin]

Some of you guys are way spoiled. I just got a shirt and some books (and a 360 wireless adapter).

Of course, I also buy everything I want so there's not a lot left for folks to pick from come Christmas.

[Morfiend]

Got ... Hellgate...

This is what Santa gives gamers instead of coal right?

[Samwise]

Of course, I also buy everything I want so there's not a lot left for folks to pick from come Christmas.

I try to make a point of not buying anything for myself starting around November (and putting them on an Amazon wishlist instead).  Delayed gratification is hard, but it makes things easier on family members who have no idea what to get me.

[Raging Turtle]

A digital camera of my choosing!

So!  Who knows anything about digital cameras? 

[voodoolily]

I gave husband a PS3 and Assassin's Creed, Heavenly Sword and Uncharted. In return, he let me buy a new desk and a flatscreen monitor for the home office. And he gave me Microsoft Office 2007. So I basically got the gift of Working From Home.

[schild]

I got $30 for Hannukah.

And nothing else. Period. Zero. Nada. Most people didn't even send me cards.

Of course, I brought this on myself by ignoring my family (mostly) for the last 4 years.

[voodoolily]

I sent you a someecard about bukkake that got cockblocked by your spam filter.

Same boat here.

My friends did insist on asking me what I wanted though, and I made some strange requests that they couldn't pull off... So in that respect, I kind of screwed myself there.

[rattran]

You should do what I do, cut out the giving part and just buy yourself presents!

That said, I got an unexpected check from my mom, and a handmade card from my niece and nephew. So I'll spend the check on slightly inappropriate gifts for the wee ones.

[shiznitz]

A digital camera of my choosing!

So!  Who knows anything about digital cameras? 

I bought the Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 to replace our 4 year old Cybershot. The new one rocks. Amazing camera. $450+memory card.

[stray]

I've had two Sony cams and they make me and my friends look like ghouls. Can't explain it. Got a Fuji and all of the sudden we're pretty people again.

[JWIV]

A digital camera of my choosing!

So!  Who knows anything about digital cameras? 

I would have hot nasty sex with the Nikon D3

[stray]

So, when he says a digital camera of "his choosing", does a D3 even count??

[Signe]

I got a big rusty bell, an angel with a stick shoved up it's arse, and some christmas-y smelling stuff you squash all over yourself in the shower.

Bah.  Humbug. 

[Samwise]

If you didn't give anything to anyone else, that's $30 of pure profit, baby.   

[sigil]

The best present I got for Christmas was  ViVa by ee cummings, with one particular passage noted.

[Engels]

I got a bunch of cool stuff, but the most braggable was the AC/DC Family Jewels DVD set. Thanks for the recommendation, Signe, its very cool!

[JWIV]

Probably not, but a man can dream.

A little expensive.  

I'm not a huge photography buff or anything, but I like to take pictures of friends/when travelling, so something nice but not crazy expensive is what I'm looking for.  Something in the $200-400 range would be fine.  

I'm still upset over losing well over a thousand pictures when my hard drive fried itself a few months ago (nothing recoverable).  Think I'll get a external hard drive when I pick up the new camera...

Of course, the reason I even NEED a new camera is because my old one was stolen from my luggage while it was lost in Chicago and I was in Europe, about a month after my hard drive exploded.  

I'm going to go cry in the corner now.  

[lamaros]

I got a cd voucher and bought The Decline Of Brittish Sea Power and Return To Cookie Mountain. And an Ice Cream scoop and glass.

[cmlancas]

I received a black/red DS and a pair of Altec Lansing gaming headphones. They are pure sex. They cradle my ears until I... well nevermind, they're just great.

 

Oh, and the 42" Samsung 1080p (65 series) is sexy too. I bought that myself though.

[Viin]

I like my Canon Digital Rebel XT for vacation photos, but anything that size is a PITA to carry around. Nothing beats a point-n-shoot camera for good easy pictures - personally I use the Olympus Stylus for a pocket camera. The nice thing about the Rebel is that I can swap out lenses with it depending on what I'm snapping.

[Merusk]
