What did Santa bring you?

[Omega]

Well, I think I'm the first person to post in here on Christmas Day (in my time zone at least), and I didn't get to say this earlier, so Merry Christmas.

But let's get on to the good stuff!

What did you get for Christmas (or some other winter-time holiday you celebrate...sorry to be so Christianity-oriented)? (Feel free to post pictures, but preferably don't upload them all as attachements. If you want some slow, but free image hosting, PM, IM, or Email me.)

I'll start this crazy party off in a few minutes once I'm done taking pictures.

[Omega]

Well, I'm not done quite yet (I still have a gift exchange with my immediate family coming up tomorrow (er, today)), but here's my haul for the time being. (Click the pictures to view the full, and very large, image.)

From my girlfriend (of almost three months), I got a leather wallet and a nice picture frame (with a picture of us):

From my aunts and uncles, I got a pretty sweet cordless phone I've had my eye on for a while:

My grandmother gave me a U.S. Mint set (that's a tradition; I've gotten one from her every year since my birth), a shirt, and some money (I didn't take a picture of the money ;)):

And, finally, from myself (yes, I decided to give a present to myself), I got a pair of Oakley Wisdom frame, Fire lens ski goggles:

Something else I got for christmas is a neat clock my parents made from a 5.25" floppy and some misc. electronics for the numbers. They saw some for sale, but they were $40, so they decided to make their own. If anyone cares to see it, I'll try to get a pic of it.

Also, I bought a 10" sub for my computer :biggrin: I can't stand the lack of bass with my new flat pannel monitor and it's little tweeters... Just have to be careful not to shake the house :P.

only the ones with tiny tiny hair like spikes that stick to your skin when you touch them
