I got some socks and underwear, which I needed. Copies of Sesame Street: Old School vols. 1 and 2. A sweater, some candy, a ship in a bottle kit, and a trip to PAX that the majority of my family and wife's family chipped in on. My wife also let me buy the BF2 complete pack for $7.50 today woo hoo!

I got very little, but my son (who is three) got several lego sets that he is a little to young for.
and I get to play with them, so it's all good.
My son will be three in two months, so I didn't get much either. He got a Leapster 2, some Duplo's, the most awesome trike in the universe (grandma gift) and assorted stocking stuffers (a slinky, a toy gun from the dollar store, Fraggle Rock and the Muppet Movie, etc). So I've had a blast too, we've been playing with all of that stuff and this is them most I can remember feeling a Christmas spirit since I was a child.
As for what I got, my wife got my a Hohner 1896 Marine Band harmonica in the key of F. It's a tiny little piece of handmade in Germany awesome. This model is the old fashioned wooden comb and it's really striking the difference in tone and feel that creates of over the new plastic combs. I'm super stoked.

And space shuttles.

she said it was not a cannonball.
I am a WOMAN, dammit!
Hmmmm...
I actually have a feeling she got me a snuggie, along with the partially round thing that could hurt me.
In addition to this, my future in-laws got me a power drill. Very useful, since we are always borrowing theirs.
Then my fiance's aunt and uncle got me a nice jacket from Old Navy.
My aunt and uncle got me some boxers, sleeping pants, undershirts, bifold fossil wallet, and a check for 275.
I got myself some games off of Steam. Who can resist the cheap ass prices?

She also got me Kapuscinski's book The Other, which I likewise expect to be tasty.
She is a great wife.
On the internet, everyone is a he.
Just like every boat is a she.
