Time for the yearly "I got this for Christmas!" thread.

Santa brought me the following:

-- A EN World community supporter account (Thanks again Truth Seeker!)
-- A countertop dishwasher
-- A Logitech combo cordless mouse and keyboard (Yippee!)
-- A four pack of compressed air cans
-- 100 Strangest Unexplained Mysteries by Matt Lamy
-- A subscription to Reader's Digest
-- Reader's Digest 1000 Wonders of Nature (book)
-- Christmas Cash!*
-- Chocolate
-- A Coles/Smithbooks/Chapters $25 Gift Card
-- A soapstone statuette of a Polar Bear

* Bought Complete Arcane, the Dawnforge Campaign Setting, and the lastest issue of Maxim (Eva Longoria... yum!).

Merry Christmas!

Dungeon Subscription (from Santa)
10 gift cert at Barnes & Nobles (from big bro who forgot the closest BN is 1 hour away) ;) The trip WILL be made
10 gift cert to Northshire Bookstore (from sexiest wife I have)
high liters to color my new D20 books bought with cert (Santa stocking)

and then neat stuff from the kids including a drawing of a red dragon my 6 year old son did that was done onto a plate. I will cherish this one for a while.
 

The wife got me an awesome new laser level (it's a brass housing tripod-mount three-bubble level system with detachable/rotating diode, which means that unlike the fancy expensive ones, I can monkey with it and micro-adjust it), the kids got me new pillowcases (actually on my list, and something I keep forgetting to buy for myself), and Santa... Well, the jolly old Elf made me a happy man. He got me a stash of Hersey's Take 5 bars all my own. There has never been a better confection IMO. :)

Edit: got distracted halfway through and forgot to finish:

Last night the Family gave the wife and I a wicker basket with some uniquely scented candles (Cinnamon Cranberry and the like), some Christmas Lottery Scratch-offs (no winners). My individual presents were a new Superman ornament (I have two of that one, one stays out in the permanent collection, one goes in the tree, but I don't have it in the boxed packaging, which I am adding to the stored collection for display rotation), a JLU min-puzzle I didn't have (plan to buy a frame and assemble, I'll probably buy another for the permanent collection), and the book Superman: The Ultimate Guide To The Man Of Steel, which was on the "Obtain cheaply" list.

If you're itnerested, and surely no one is, my current "on display" can be seen here.

Hooo billy. Not a bad little haul.

- Rotary tool, goggles, detail brushes, paint - my new "DM's combat map prop-making toolkit". :D
- New bedsheets. Incredibly soft, I may never leave my bed style sheets.
- Enough snack food to choke a yeti.
- The most comfortable pajamas known to man.
- A couple shirts which, breaking the tradition of parent-purchased clothing, I'd wear out of the house.
- Rechargable batteries (I have a discman and I walk everywhere. Excellent gift).
- The 3.5 cores, which I swore I'd never buy myself, the XPH, and Complete Arcane.
- An assurance of a friend-funded trip to the FLGS for some quality sourcebook material. Probably going for Frostburn and Book of Iron Might.
- Magical Medieval Society - Western Europe. Someone knows how to take care of a homebrew junkie. :)

All in all, a fine geeker Xmas.
 

Mainly, the family brought me a tough choice - keep that Special Edition Player's Handbook, or exchange it at my FLGS for something different. I have the feeling that, whatever I do, I'll regret it. :p
 

let's see...

$70 in Target gift cards (cool because I need kitchen stuff);
a $50 Best Buy gift card (Star Wars Trilogy DVDs here I come...);
half a dozen cookbooks for Italian food and seafood;
a very high quality baking pan;
a starter and seven booster packs of D&D miniatures;
a tin of fancy nuts;
three months of gym membership and a couple of personal trainer sessions;

and...

a very nice used pickup truck! :D

Life is good.

-A few shirts and jackets
-Return of the King EE
-Spiderman 2 Collectors Edition
