An indoor rc helicopter - most fun ever

a sweet watch with some name i can't pronounce
some other tools.

Cool. I just got some of the basics..clothes, necklace, cologne, some travel luggage, that sort of thing. I was just glad to have a good family dinner, have the weekend off, spend it liesurely and merrily. It was all good.

Tools are always nice. My father has been building up my tool collection over the past few years. Every birthday/christmas/whatever he'll add something to it. Screwdrivers, metric sockets, pliers, etc... More tools is always freakin' sweet.

I got SM2 bars though

i usually dont complain about gifts unless they are really bad.. but this year there was no complaining at all. i got a ton of stuff for my camera (battery, filters, tripod, remote and corded shutter release, BIG CF card), my favorite cologne, the zen of farting book, and other stuff.  i hope everyone else had the chance to have a good christmas like mine

Sometimes the gifts are only a minor part of it.

My girlfriend lives in Baton Rouge, and she's been feeling really homesick the past couple of weeks. Couple that with the stress of finals and she was getting ready to crash and burn. She finally got to go home last week and she was so happy to get to see her family, sleep in her own bed, and enjoy non-crap dorm food for a while. I don't get to see her for a month, but it's good to know she's happy for now.

the gifts are just icing as far as I"m concerned.  alhtough i must say again, the helicopter thing is too much fun, the perfect christmas day toy.  Mostly ate, laid around, napped, played power rangers and watched madagascar like 4 times.

...and enjoy non-crap dorm food...

THAT should be the least of her problems.  She's in Baton Rouge...home of the BEST cajun cookeries...ever...

...well, except when I'm cooking.  Their cookin pales in comparison to mine...

Thats funny, my g/f goes to school in Baton Rouge and I'm always heading out there to visit.

Other than this we didn't get much for each other.  We had family come out and stay for the holiday which was a good thing for Annie -she's VERY family oriented.

^I bet one of those would make a slick entry level budget motard...

[Blueknyt]

i got a glass, chess,checkers,backgammon set with wooden boards from the wife and  a plate of cookies and a soda left by my son

[pandy]

My bf's kids got us Chatterboxes!!!    :kiss:    Now he has to listen to me curse at all the cagers, and he has NO idea how much that happens out on our little rides.  :mrgreen:

I also got an LCD flat-panel monitor, a deep fryer (freeench frieeees), suspenders to hold my moto pants up    :lol: , adorable china kitty figurines, Godiva chocolates, and another million stuffed animals (I'll never, ever, EVER get too old for stuffed animals!!! :mrgreen: )      Santa must have thought I was a VERY good girl this year (fooled him AGAIN!!!  :lol: ).

It was a great Christmas!

I have yet to get anything but my teknic jacket from my wife.  I took the second leave period and I dont get to go home until wednesday.  Or should I say make the 15 hour drive home on wednesday.

We'll see then..

[Caffeine]

I got to drive (the cage)  to north Florida to visit with the family.   It was sort of a family reunion, since all of us don't get to be in the same place very often.   Just getting to spend a few days with everyone is enough of a present for me!   Of course, after 3 days they start getting on my nerves and I can't wait to leave, but that's beside the point...   :mrgreen:

I had a good Christmas!

I got a really nice area rug for my new loft.  It really ties the space together.  I got a digital camera.  The video game "GUN" for PS2.  A vacum cleaner.  Lowes gift card.  A 3 foot long remote control car (it is a pro street '41 Willys coup with a fake blower).  

No GF this year for the first time in ages.  So that was kind of a push.

My brother and niece were in from NY so it was nice.

[CasiUSA]

Got a new Fender amp and an X-BOx 360- I haven't blinked for 16 hours.

[Onlypastrana199]

I got a new video camera, clothes, new tools    new boots, but they dont fit so I gotta drive over an hour to bring them back and exchange them, a bunch of gift cards, and $$$ apparently being unemployed entitles you to $$ for christmas thats fine with me :lol:

[porsche4786]

I read this right before going to my friends house, when I got there, he had a remote control indoor helicopter! It really is the most fun thing to play with! It was a little tricky flying it though, never had it in the air for more than a minute.
