Christmas Day Open Thread

So, what did you all get for Christmas.  My niece got an iPod touch (which I’m posting on right now) and now I must have one as well.

Nice gift! I got a flat screen monitor, which’ll be easier on the eyes as I do the blogroll…

Coal. 

By the way Rob my Say Anything Christmas bonus must have got lost in the mail just like last year.

Merry Christmas all.

Rob, how are you feeling?  I hope you are recovering nicely and you don’t have too much lasting discomfort.

I have my good health, a reasonable clear mind, and lots of gratitude. All the priceless things.

Commercially, I am at a loss… smile

I couldn’t care less if I ever got another gift for Christmas.  I have my ife and two little boys, one of which is a year old and the other a month old.  I couldn’t have more to be thankful for.

Got the best gift of all… The birth of our Lord.

I’m more interested in what others here have given.

Anybody a Secret Santa?

I got a couple of mint proof sets, a watch, CDs, and, of course, socks.

I gave ec99 the socks.  (not really) I always buy the family a larger present from the dogs.

Got an iPod Nano here.  Now I can carry Rush’s podcasts with me everywhere (and some serious tunes too)

Merry Christmas

My fiancee got me an 80GB iPod classic (I would have liked the iPod touch but they don’t make a model with enough storage space for my music collection) and the new guitar hero game, which we’ve become hopelessly addicted to.

I gave her a diamond bracelet. Everyone else pretty much got various gift cards from us.

I woke up on Christmas morning, ran to the bathroom mirror, saw myself looking backing back.
As un-pleasing as some may think, I found it a relief after last night to be here on Christmas day.
Merry Christmas to all.....

Several books, some alcohol, and Season 3 of Stargate SG-1.

A nice comfy shirt from my sister. Some Jimmy Buffett and Garth Brooks CDs from an old friend. From a co-worker, a Cleveland Browns T-shirt (Which I wore watching their ignominious defeat by the Bungles). A bottle of 16 yr. old scotch from one of my employees and (like Forrest Gump) a box of chocolates from my brother, the Democrat!



Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

Coal.

Whistler: I’d offer to squeeze it in my hand and make you a diamond, but I still have found a way to make it come out faceted and cut the way George Reeves did in the fifties! smile

not sure if i just waited to long this year or what, but i had alot of trouble participating this year.  normally my fiance and i find the christmas trees around town that are decorated with tags representing different children and pick up a few(think the salvation army sponsors this, not positive though). however, this year we weren’t able to find these tags. wal-mart had something similar set up, but the tags were for adults.  im not opposed to giving to anyone thats less fortunate, but i would much rather buy presents for children. 
anyone else run into this problem?

I received a Sonicare electric tooth brush. I still can’t figure out what I did to deserve that.

Kevin on December 25, 2007 at 03:42 pm

Got a nice turtleneck sweatshirt, some spice jars and a years subscription to Webroot AntiVirus. However, The best gift is to see my dear 92-year-old mom healthy and happy.

My favorite gift is a CD my nephew Ryan made. It is called Emelo. He has it on his MY Space page. My favorite song on it is called tranquillizers, brain screwdrivers and a book full of cheery poems.

Much to the dismay of global warmers, it has been unusually consistently cold in Northern California this December. This morning, the sun was bright and warm, birds were chirping, some of my roses were actually blooming, my Koi had surfaced from their hibernation, and only a light sweater was required. If that wasn’t gift enough, ignoring the back of the house that I had to tear off to replace leaking pipes, I headed to the nearest golf course only to find the golf shop closed.

The sign on the door said, “FREE PLAY TODAY”. As if this wasn’t enough, as I walked to the first tee, a very attractive woman was waiting. She said, “I was hoping some one else would show up. I get a little nervous playing alone. You don’t mind playing with me do you?”

As I wearily arrived late, very late, I met the icy stares at my sister’s house with a sunburned, smiling face and a joyous, very joyous, if smug,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
