Well, for semi-gaming related I got two items that should help me with research for my wild west campaign. One was a big thick historical test titled "The West". The other was the movie "Tombstone".

My birthday is a few weeks back (same day as Boz, for those keeping score at home), and my wife got me the complete Far Side Anthology. It comes in two 1.5 inch thick tomes and together they must weigh 30 pounds. Totally freaking awesome. $80 from Costco.
For Xmas, I got -
money from both sets of parents
a gift card for Barnes and Noble
a gift card for Borders (why couldn't they have been the same place?!)
a kite in the shape of an airplane. (I have a thing for kites, though I rarely get to fly them)
For the little one, I bought Shrek 2, though the wife and I watched it more than she did today. I also bought _Spirited Away_ which we watched the other night. Totally awesome flick.
I bought myself an Eb Clarinet off Ebay for $600, and I got a nice CD cabinet (wooden thing with doors) for all my CDs (which is close to 500 now). So, I basically bought my own Christmas this year.
With my money I'll probably go out and buy more CDs. I doubt either place will have any book I care to read. And you can never really have enough Classical CDs.
Oh, and I got my wife an 80-hour TIVO machine. But, that's really for both of us, I guess.

Money and a B&N gift card, with which I purchased the Scarred Lands Player's Guide to Fighters and Barbarians, the Tolkien Reader, and a few Tolkien translations.
Candy for the whole family.
$50, the D&D poster with all the dragons, and a bunch of Whoppers candy (I can't eat those things, they make me ill
)
A couple of cheap skull-motif Joe Boxer jewelery (who knew?
)
A nice espresso cup.
The pleasure of watching my mom open the 6 lb. of baklava I bought her
All in all, I'm a happy man. Even though I had to work right up till Christmas and will work on Monday also.

December started better than the rest of the year, both going to Gencon SoCal and getting free swag, and then finding a job, essential for having extra money for Christmas gifts.
So besides that, I got
Joe Boxer pajamas
3 pairs of pants that don't fit
Button up fleece jacket
Hawaiian shirt
$cash$
A box of handmade lemon-expresso chocolates, which I just remembered and will go sneak a bite of.
A belt
A bottle of wine
and my dad is either going to buy new windshield wipers or have my car's radiator flushed
Not a good haul for gaming stuff, but as I said I got plenty from Gencon.

I got a rock!
Seriously, I got...in no particular order:
Friends:
* - Inuyasha Season 1 Boxed Set;
* - Spiderman 2 WS DVD;
* - A RTS whose title I can't remember;
* - A Transformers 2005 Calendar by Dreamwave;
* - A B&N gift card;
Work:
* - A Target gift card;
Family:
* - Three new t-shirts (well, two replaced ones that'd worn out);
* - A new carry-on
And Mom said she had ordered me some stuff from Amazon, that included Serpent Kingdoms and the DVD of In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great, but that hasn't come in yet.
I'm reasonably pleased with my Phat Lewtz. Two of my friends went in on the Inuyasha box set, and I'd figured out I was getting it, but it's still very cool.
