Just a place to post your favorite stuff you got for Christmas.

I got a Flat Panel monitor, and an autographed Goo Goo Dolls cd.

return of the King, Spidy 2, harry potter 3, Hero, candy, clothes and some other stuff.

Also, I got a little remote control mouse for my ferret. It has caused much hillarity to ensue.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Six decks of cards and a slipper.  I say 'a' slipper because one of my littler cousins thought it would be funny to hide it...and forget where.  :-P.

I got a heap of books, including a couple of Forgotten Realms, and a Terry Pratchett novel (Monstrous Regiment), a wax seal, a nifty looking little calculator/note storer etc. various items of clothing, a calligraphy set (including gold nibs... woot!), chocolates, and a few other bits and pieces...

My current list, minus what I'll be getting today:

A heavy brown leather coat that I knew I was getting, but is still awesome
All seasons of Family Guy
Less Than Jake Borders and Boundaries cd
$40 worth of Best Buy gift cards
$15 Borders gift card
$25 to Old Navy (nice thought, but I don't shop there :( )
A SafeHeat space heater (again, a nice thought, but I love being cold)

Update:
Add $35 cash and another $25 to Best Buy. And a giant case of chocolate peanut butter balls. Grandparents are the best.

Don't worry, Chesnut, I'm sure you can find a way to pawn off the gift certificate.  And you should come over wednesday with those family guy DVDs.  we'll watch them all, I say!

A time-turner.
A Sting letter-opener.
Clothes.
A meat thermometer.
Some new pots and pans.
A new set of scriptures.
A new jewelry box and various hand-me-down bits of jewelry from my mother.
An empty ring box.  And
A Barnes and Noble gift card.

My faves are the time-turner and the letter opener.

Wait. Kirstie Alley is dating Alton Brown? Mmmm. Good eats.

I had received one of the strangest DVDs I had ever seen, and my mystification astounded my family as I sat there looking it over, not moving on to the rest. And so it was: The Family Guy "Freakin' Sweet Collection." What this entails is MacFarlane's 5 favorite episodes, with commentary, and a look into his new series and the new season of Family Guy. As well the "Uncut" version of "Road to Rhode Island."

I also got "Johnothan Strange & Mr. Norell" clothes, a new case for my laptop, manga, and some other movies.
