Did everyone have a good Christmas?
Mine was great, got to spend lots of time with the Mrs, got some cool presents, ate some good food, all in all, one of the best holiday seasons ever. As far as presents go, I got the Back to the Future trilogy, Attack of the Clones, GTA Vice City, some odd clothes and socks and cologne and what not and a really cool little Atari Joystick that you plug into the TV that lets you play 10 classic atari games.
All in all, I made out pretty well. How did my 'Poly comrades do?

Tube - My girlfriend's mom got it for me, I think she bought it off of QVC. Let's see if I can find a link...here we go!

There are other sites you could buy it as well, I'm sure.

I had a good Christmas. Went to my g/f's house. Ate a lot of shrimp and sandwiches! IT EVEN SNOWED! Of course that meant I had to stay over, because I couldn't drive home  .
For presents, my g/f got me some Ariat Western (Cowboy style) boots (which I knew she was getting me ), her parents got me a coffee maker, and my g/f got me a coffee bean grinder for it (yum... me like coffee ).

A good Christmas. I got some CDs, books, lots of clothes, money, chocolate, a back scratcher, LotR calendar, and most improtantly a djembe. It's a big African hand drum, and has a very bassy sound, altough with proper technique has a variety of sounds.
Me, my sister, and my mom split on a DVD player for my dad, and he got the family a 2.1 (a subwoofer and 2 tweeters) sound system for our computer (harmon/kardon).

Mine was fine, until XMAS Eve night, when I thought I heard someone trying to steal stuff downstairs. So I got my shotgun and gave 'em one in the head and two in the chest. Then I turned the light on and I saw Ming dressed up like Santa.
Do I have to go to Mingapulco for this?

I had a decent Christmas. Got some miscellaneous items, money, blah blah, fondue pot, new television.
Then....
I found my 15 year old cat dead in the garage. She was either killed by old age or the cold weather or crushed by the garage door, as the large crease in her body and the placement of the body would indicate. However I have a hard time believing even in her arthritic state, she would not be able to avoid the door.
Kind of a downer, at least we had already opened presents and eaten lunch.
She was a good cat, she had narrowly survived a previous incident with our van which only cost her the use of her tail, which had hung limply for the past 10 years. But the garage door proved too much.

Pros:
- I got a new computer (even if it was a combined birthday/Christmas present since my b'day was 10 days before)
- I got a bit of money
- I got a couple of good CDs.
- I spent time with relatives I like
Cons:
- Only had about two-four waking hours at home
- Had to spend the afternoon with relatives I didn't even know (and in some cases don't want to know)
So all in all, it was OK. Definitely not the best one, but it wasn't quite the worst either.

nothing too great for me. But christmas isn't about what you get.
It's about spending time with my family who wants nothing to do with me
