So far I got a HUGE sweater (From my aunt and uncle, because the last time they saw me, I hadnt lost all the weight and size) But it's a nice sweater. So I'm eating chocolate right now to gain it back.

And I got 100 bucks from my grandpa.

Thats all I get for tonight.

New microsoft bluetooth wireless desktop from my brother
A nice new leather jacket from my parents
gift cards from my cousins
amex gift card from my aunt and uncle

Now on to what I gave.. hehee I think this will be a lil overlooked in this thread... Me and my siblings chipped in for gifts for my parents that I thought of really thoroughly. Since my brother lives in CA and my sister is at school in PSU all the time, I thought that we should get my mom a White Gold locket with all our pictures in it, including a photo of our dog that my mom spends most of her time with when she's alone.

Then me and my brother both went in to get my Dad a $800 Acoustic Electric Guitar by Gibson. Up until this point my dad has been playing a Classical Acoustic from back home (Filipines) and it's already about 20 years old... I thought we'd modernize his sound a bit.

Both gifts went over magnificently... they were both pleased and surprised.

So... aside from what you've got for Christmas... can anyone elaborate on what you've gotten for your family or significant other?

The Germanator · 12-25-2005, 02:07 PM

I got....

A sleeping bag (good for touring, I never know where I'm going to sleep...)
In Cold Blood (book)
The Baxter (DVD)
South Park Season Six
Family Guy Volume 3
Cage - Hell's Wintet (CD)
Blackilicous - The Craft (CD
Digital Camera

Gift cards and other assorted goodies...
