Well, it was a good haul this xmas. I figured I'd make my family fend for themselves this year - my xmas list consisted of one item and a few stores where I wanted gift cards. Ironically, that one item is the only thing I didn't get on xmas morning... because apparently is still needs to be shipped [smile]



Here's my first haul of the day, from my immediate family (Mom, Dad and 2 sisters). We open gifts and stockings in the morning. We have here:

• K'nex set - I love K'nex (and Legos) and I haven't had anything to build since I was like 14 so this was a pleasant surprise :)
• Seaweed - sounds gross but is soooo yummy, you should try some
• Burger King card - gotta love the King
• Signspotting 2 - book with crazy stupid funny signs like from Thailand: "Anyone. Caught. Shoplifter will be shot 100 times the value of stolen item(s)" - awesome
• Black cargo pants - they're all I wear. Seriously
• Underwear - I can't seem to go a Christmas without underwear *sigh* thanks Mom :P
• Star Wars Vault - huge book with tons of inserted Star Wars collectible items by Star wars Collector God, Steve Sansweet
• Orange Crush and 7-up Jelly Bellys - mmmmmm candy
• Magellan Maestro 4040 GPS - this was a surprise indeed! With bluetooth so I can hook it up to my phone. Fits perfectly into the empty navigation display area in my dash too!
• Laundry bag - if I had gone to college this would have been useful
• Legend of Zelda t-shirt - yea baby, and just as my Legend of Time t-shirt was starting to get worn out
• Best Buy and Borders gift cards - can't go wrong with gift cards

In the afternoon the rest of the family comes over to our place for more gift giving goodness:

• Lennox ornament - all the cousins get one every year
• Crank-powered LED flashlight - I'll keep it in my car for emergencies
• Gillette Fusion electric razor - smooth shave
• WalMart gift card - I can spend hours in WalMart
• Origami candy box - my grandmother is Japanese and she gives all the cousins $100 each xmas in various ways. This is what she did this year
• Best Buy gift card - I have enough to buy a new Radeon HD 3850, yes it is tempting
• Visa gift cards - more moolah to spend as I wish

What a haul this year. I still haven't had time to play around with my GPS unit hooked up to my computer, tho I have taken it out driving with me even if I don't need it just cause it's so cool, hahaha.

Was looking around Journal Land here and other people got some cool gifts as well. Good stuff.
