$250 cash is pretty much all I got, and cash is all I really wanted, so I am content
I got my mom an iPhone 5 upgrade for Christmas, since I'm pretty sure her previous phone also doubled as a walkie-talkie in the Korean War. The downside to this is that I have to give her lessons on how to use the damn thing almost daily
I don't know what brand it was, but it wasn't a Nokia. It looked pretty much like your average house phone - no extendable antenna and the screen is just big enough to display the number you're calling/receiving
I got an Android tablet, $150 in gift cards, and a bunch of star wars books
I got my wife some 3ds games, forward unto dawn, dethalbum 3, a sweet keychain, and the walking dead collectors edition

Work gave me a swag bag tonight, which sounds like something similar to being nice and giving back to their employees as thanks for working on one of their busiest days of the year
But nah, it's more like, them trying to get rid of extra stock of stuff
So I got some t-shirts that wouldn't fit me for movies I haven't seen

Oh, nice.
Got another gift from family. I now have a good set of headphones.
Got a wood block puzzle in the shape of a pig, from my roommate (Solved it in 3 minutes, sadly )
Got two movie theater gift cards, an itunes card and $100 cash from my parents
Also got Fall of Cybertron from my parents
And I got a light-up D20 and a Toxic Waste Drum Laundry Basket from my brother. (Thinkgeek order, HO!)
I got my roommate an expansion to the board game Infinite Cities (Which we play a lot)
Got my dad a copy of Men in Black 3 and a case for his new rifle
Put in $100 for my mom's WiiU and got her a Wii copy of Lego LotR.
Got my brother a Tardis USB hub and a M.O.D.O.K. mug (Mobile Organism Designed only for KOFFEE!) (Thinkgeek again)
Also bought him a copy of The Walking Dead game on Steam when it was on sale.
Was hoping for LotR on blu-ray, but I'll just snag that from Amazon now I guess. Overall, a fun year and probably the most thought I've put into presents (My parents are notoriously hard to shop for. I at least made some wishlists, dammit!)
I got a lovely leather jacket from my husband! I got extra hugs when family and stuff was leaving because "ohhh that feels nice!!!" so, unexpected side benefit?
Got some toe socks which I was super happy about because most of mine are worn to shreds.
Assorted towels which we needed badly. Some flannel sheets and some cotton sheets for our bed.
Home depot monies, because our sink is terrible, and we are getting a new one.
Some scarfs and gloves, all pretty cute, and matching red hats.
I got some nice sweaters, and a large volume food processor, which, among other things, will make scones and pies much easier to create, since I won't have to divide batches and move it through our little one in thirds in order to get proper crumbliness.
The cats got some shallow metal food bowls with nonskid bottoms so their precious little whiskers aren't fussed by deep bowls.
Oh, and I got a jar of delicious local honey, so my scones will be extra delicious and have that extra little bit of flavor that the store crap lacks.
I got my husband a Trunk Club gift card, largely on his vague need for new clothes and his desire to dress a little sharper with no real clue how. (Stale's commentary on his experience really cemented this, so, thanks for helping indirectly find a christmas gift for my other half )
All us kids pitched in to purchase an Acer Win8 Pro tablet (the i3 one) for my mum in law. She was quite pleased, if her little squee of excitement meant anything when she opened it.
Mp3 player for my uncle and a quick rundown on how to move his cd collection to it. He is a little in awe of technology these days, but he figures stuff out pretty easily.
My auntie got a waffle iron so my uncle could make her waffles. (hah)
And various people got smartwool socks. Is it weird when socks are not the 'meh' present but an actual desired thing? There was a lot of them going around this year.
There is one last present that UPS prevented from reaching us in time (Grrr). Sheri made it. It is beautiful and epic and there's a few pics floating around but I'll probably post it here once we give it to its intended recipient. It is awesome. So awesome.

I was hoping that the Lego Robie House would drop in price post christmas, and I would be able to pick it up with some christmas money, but the damn thing is going up in price now.
I got a DVD from a friend and some food from my folks. Also the offer from them to buy me basically anything for the house but I haven't taken them up on that one.
Anyway, more importantly. I'm defrosting challah to make French toast for breakfast, but it's taking too long. At what point do I just give up and eat brownies.

My wife and I traded our BMW 325i (with 186k miles and numerous problems) for a loaded 2008 Ford Fusion (with 64k miles). Our real present will be our son coming early January.
My wife got me garage floor epoxy kit and the required tools and a Science of Cooking cook book.

Also got a nice thermal shirt, some flannels, a frying pan, set of kitchen knives, and Ted. Giftcard to Academy.
I won't be able to use half that shit until I'm in my own place so my roommates can't fuck it up, but owning my own power tools is fucking amazing.

Kinda blown away cause Milwaukee is primo shit in my book.
But a skil saw, saw-zall, drill, and flashlight. Two batteries and a charger.
I can do a lot with that. Gonna need to get some bits and some miscellaneous tools.
Maybe even get a router so I can tool some designs.
Thinking about a book shelf. Maybe a low book shelf to pull double duty as a night stand.
got settlers of catan star trek
which actually has a neat feature outside of the usual theme-veneer these sort of things have, so that was a fun gift
The artwork is badass, but you got some cool frames for them.
To help my brother figure out why his new windows 7 computer cant see our goddamned network
Oh yay I'm still getting to do that

I got her a nice photo album of me and Mrs. Lady SH's wedding photos and was just like dang, really?
Those things were fucking TANKS.
nintendo products go to that nokia for tips on how to be durable
so like a cellphone from the late 90s?

My mom got me a pretty rockin merkur safety razor set. Razor, badger brush, stand, soap and bowl. As well as a 10pk of merkur blades.
My dad got me and my wife 1.5 cords of firewood he split. Yay free heat!
I got the wife a rock tumbler, grit and a minerals and jemstones book. She rock hunts and makes her own jewelry so she's stoked.
My mom got a really nice pair of boots and my dad got slippers and a bunch of primo jerky and dried foods for when he is out working in the woods.
Pretty good year!
Oh yea my inlaws got us a wii, and we got them forever lazies and a decent computer upgrade.
