PA Holiday [LOOT] thread

Another year of joy and festivities is about to pass us up, and we need somewhere to brag about the exceptional joy we have given and received. I was rather fortunate this year because all season I have been showered with gifts from wonderful people, and I have yet to open presents at my dad's for Christmas Eve, and my in-law's for Christmas day.
To kick off the thread, Judge-Z sent me this bounty of Loot in the G&T secret santa:
I also recieved from friends some wonderful Iron Fist (my fave comic character) stuff, including cookies!
My wife also bought me a Nintendo 64 with Golden Eye, OoT, Shadows of the Empire, DK 64, Pilotwings and Mario Kart 64. Among other cool things from her I got Brak Show season 1, Aqua Teen socks, Pirates of the Caribbean on Blu-Ray, Wall-E & Rattatoulle on Blu-Ray and some Venture Bros patches.
Oh, and she got me this Woot Shirt:
So join me in talking about any denomination's (or non-denomination) or belief system, or non-religious's gift giving celebrations and brag about the cool shit you got.

My lady got me a box of cheese-its., a candle and a picture of us together framed. Meant so much to me.
So many $'s spent on so many worthless apps.
I also got issued a new MacBook Pro through work.
I'm an Apple product whore. :?
Holy shit man, is that a normal Secret Santa haul? That is insane. Also, is that...salad dressing?!?
I'm kinda bothered that they gave Jazz and Bumblebee their "ear" pieces, but not Prime. I've been thinking about getting some modeling putty and putting it to work, but I don't want to ruin the figure.
and a Motorola Droid.
And a 10 starbucks gift card(hint I don't drink coffee and there is not a starbucks near my apartment or work)
Yes it is salad dressing, it is to make Buffalo Wings with. Bleu Cheese dressing, lest I use ranch and judge Z has to come to Alaska and face-rape me with his fist.
As far as the size of the haul, no, I think most are much less than that, but one dude did get a PS3, an extra controller and like 2 games this year from G&T SS.

Also 200 bucks from my grandma and 30 bucks from my Aunt and Uncle. I spent the 30 already get like 10 games off of Steam with their holiday sale. Going to hit up a game store and get some PS3 games with the other money the day after Christmas.
dad got me Star Trek blu-ray and the yankees world series blu-ray. I also think he's going to agree to pay some of a computer for me but I'll know more later tonight.
and my step dad got me a gps but I won't know what model til tonight.
been a damn good christmas already.
I bought my mom Julie & Julia on DVD, the Susan Boyle CD, and a snuggie. Got my 2 brothers (one real, one not so related) both iTunes cards. Gave a best friend a $25 apple app store gift card. Got the boyfriend a whole bunch of little things that I'm not going to type here cause he'll probably read this thread and I dont' want him to know what he's getting since he's not getting it for another 3 weeks.
I got a copy of munchkin from the Lounge Secret Busdriver, as well as some butterfly shoestrings.
Oh, and my guy sent me a bouquet of flowers made of ferrero Rocher, an origami lily, and an origami rose. As well as a box of handmade NZ chocolates. Plus he's visiting in 3 weeks.
I think that's about it.
Edit: Oh, and a book called "Gods Behaving Badly" I'm only a bit of ways into it, but it currently is reading like a bad Neil Gaiman story. But still enjoyable.

My christmas pales in comparison to some of you fuckers.
as for me they're paying for my study abroad trip to london in may
pretty good gifts
that sounds like a very good gift
I used to to buy ingredients to make wassail
Wait. You were supposed to blow it on booze.
a) they don't sell actual liquor at whole foods
b) wassail IS booze you fool. it is a mixture of wine and ale and spices and whatnot
Okay, that's acceptable.
But it sounds too complex.
As long as you blew it on booze.
whipping eggs to stiff peaks, mixing in apples that have been baked with brown sugar
etc
the other half of the fun, of course, is being drunk
Brother got me The Simpsons Scene-It - got him MW2
Parents got me a 1TB Hard drive for my movie collection, as I convert it all from DVD to digital - got her a Wii (for her bday, too), him new skiing gloves

Has someone forwarded this thread to Tube so that it gets carried over to the Christmas Day forum lockout?
i got my family gifts
we are going away tomorrow
i gave them to them today
i dont get gifts we dont do gifts
On that note, I know my parents got me an iPod Touch. I won't know what else until tonight. I'm more excited for my parents and brother to open their presents as I think I did a particularly good job this year.
They shipped it early, but other than that I don't know what I'm getting. Except my brother asked me if I brought a checked bag on the flight home, so I know I'm getting something heavy and/or dangerous.
Raiden333 got me Dominion Intrigue in D&D's secret sodomite.
My fiance got me Doom and it's expansion, Lord of the Rings - The Confrontation: Deluxe Edition, and Beowulf: The Legend.
Hoping to add more awesome stuff to this.

You know, I should be unemployed every Christmas.
Other things, too. But, man, it's a really great straw.
Thats all.
Not even any cool boxes to make forts out of
I also got a pair of awesome knitted slippers from a white elephant exchange, which I am extraordinarily excited about because my feet are perpetually cold.
I still have gifts on their way from friends and family in CA, so yeah. My mom's clues for my present were "part of it is round" and "it can hurt you"...
Yeah, I have no idea what that could be. At all.
bullets are part round
and can hurt you.
