And so it comes to the most important question of the season:
Got any good loot?
====
Christmas is usually small for my family since all the extended family is halfway around the world. We're not really on a gift-giving basis with anyone.
Got these from my immediate family members:
A DVD (awesome movie):
An officially licensed Spongebob Tshirt:
An offically licensed Optimus Tshirt (same thing but in red):
Show spoiler
And a pair of 4kg dumbbells:
^ (mine look nothing like these, but you get the idea.)
Mostly all stuff i wanted. Even the stuff i didn't ask/hint for was awesome (the shirts). So the quality of the haul was great.
I can't find out what I got til Sunday. Since I work Christmas and Saturday night, my girlfriend has decided to postpone Christmas til we can share the night together...
Not really complaining, actually it's kinda nice that she decided to really share Christmas with me... Even if our Christmas is delayed a few days.

I giving myself a little vacation to Pasadena CA come January 7th 2010. I’m even going to drive it, so no strip search this time.
Depending on the outcome of the game it will either be a really good present or a really bad one. Not to mention what the outcome will do for the length of the drive home.

See the struggle of the faithless lot as they negate their time

Not a terribly big fan of the gift bit of Christmas, mainly because it feels more like a duty than something you do because you care about someone. Anyway, having just moved to a room that didn't include the basic necessities, my haul was a bit predictable.
Trip to Costa Rica a (low end) net book and a two DVD's + a ton of boring but necessary stuff like, kitchen utensils, blankets etc
Just got some more stuff halo 2 pc, halo 3 and halo 3 odst soundtracks halo 2 multiplayer map pack and some star wars and halo books great haul this year oh and I'm buying a 360 in a few weeks with my extra money

The giftswere for the winter solstice but the rest of my family celebrates Christmas so... That's when I got them

Well, my 2.5 year old crappy HP laptop (DO NOT BUY HP LAPTOPS) died again, this time permanently, so Point Man bought me a new desktop (quad core, decent memory and hard drive) and set of speakers for it. He also got a nice video card, a set of pajamas, a couple books, and a pair of diamond earrings.
From MST3K's spoof of "Hercules Unchained"--heard as Roman medic soldiers carry off an unconscious Greek Hercules on a 1950's Army green canvas stretcher: "Hi, we're IX-I-I. Did somebody dial IX-I-I?"
Got this for future use in my travels through African and Asian brush, it's sooooo nice.
It's very well made (It's a HanWei sword, after all) for the price and cuts through small trees quite easy, and I love the locking mechanism it has. I guess it's lucky I've been delayed in being shipped out, my Christmas went very well.
I also got an asston of Martial Arts movies and another punching bag.
“This body is not me. I am not caught in this body.
I am life without limit.”
A whole bunch of stuff. Clothes, accessories, money, tools, etc.
The stuff you'd all be most interested in:
Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil novel
Green Laser Pointer
Electric flyswatter
A snuffing glass internally hand painted with dragons shone outward (looks asian)
Bought myself: Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja 4 (Yaaaay, I get to be Temari!!! *schemes*), Iron Maiden: Minutes to midnight CD, and a pair of Scott brand Snowboard gloves.
In a few days I plan to get some new melee weapons and gear to use for Arnis/Eskrima sparring.
And possibly start crafting another custom made lightsaber. What color--any suggestions?

keep in mind that hanging creepy warlock **** from it and calling it an eldritch tree doesn't make it not a christmas tree
Yes I know and thanks for your obvious contempt for my religion

That Sword is awesome, But I'm not sure you can walk through an Airport with that on your back... Least you cant here hehe, still sweet tho
Luckily I'll have private and military transportation options so I can take all my required items along for my humanitarian/vacation retreats to the less-than-modernized world.
