I got:
* Star Wars trilogy DVD
* Da Ali G Show Season 1 DVD
* Return of the King Extended Edition DVD
* Phantom Solider: The Enemy's Answer to US Firepower (by H. John Poole)
* Fist, Stick, Knife, Gun (by Geoffrey Canada)
* A book of the history of my fraternity, published back in 1937
* Four movie passes
* A six pack of Pig's Ear brown ale (now a 3 pack)
I think I was supposed to get season 1 of Arrested Development of DVD from my brother, but it was accidentally tagged for my dad, the man who really doesn't like the show all that much. It was pretty funny watching him open it. If I'm lucky, he'll let me borrow it next weekend.
One of the fun things about being an uncle is buying toys at Christmas for my two nieces, ages 2 and 4. I bought them a big, wooden castle playset with a set of dolls that go along with it. They were pulling hair and fighting over it about a minute after it came out of the box. I am so totally the cool uncle.
