ok I'll be the one who asks...what did everyone score for Christmas?

[backwoodsbob]

I had a banner year.
Albert Lee Music Man Guitar
Lions Leather Jacket
Damascus steel German Boker Lockblade.

My toy though is this

http://www.amazon.com/B%C3%B6ker-Boker-Magnum-Knife-Sharpener/dp/B00HQBMK7W

A cheap little magnum knife sharpener

That thing absolutely put a razors edge on every knife I tried it on.

How'd you guys do?

[cantbeserious]

1. Zero - Don't Do Christmas Gifts - Been Out Of That Loop - 20 Years Now

[backwoodsbob]

2. ooookkk

[sharp_stick]

3. Weber Smokey Mountain

bullet smoker.

I've used my old Weber kettle grill as a smoker for a long time but using it really means you're tied to it all day tending the fire and you can only use about 2/3 of the 22" grill because of the offset fire and wood. This thing has two 22" racks and the firebox set well underneath.

Now I'm hoping for some nice weather a brisket and a few racks of ribs.

[backwoodsbob]

4. that's sweet..i want

that's very nice

[MrMickeysMom]

32. Hey, that looks like mine!

I replaced my older smoker with this model and smoked another Thanksgiving turkey in it. I love this thing.

[NuclearDem]

5. Have only done gifts with the immediate family so far

But currently, a new thermal jacket, a $50 Gamestop gift card, and my folks will be paying for me to get a tattoo.

[backwoodsbob]

6. get a lespaul tatt

or one of me playing a lespaul

[Major Nikon]

7. Whiskey

[Tobin S.]

8. The new Weezer CD, heavy duty socks, money

a gift card to one of my favorite restaurants, BEER!, a $50 roll of postage stamps, and gift certificates to a local car wash.

[Initech]

24. I saw Weezer two weeks ago. They kicked ass!

[Kaleva]

9. A container of Planters mixed nuts.

I'm snacking on them right now while I'm here at DU. Plus I got a wallet and small duffel bag.

[Bluzmann57]

10. Sounds like some cool gifts

But a Lions leather jacket? Sorry, but they are going down this week against the Packers.
Merry Christmas to you and yours and I hope you enjoy the guitar. Sounds like a great thing to have.

[backwoodsbob]

11. please

Lions are gonna smoke some Packers.
We already beat you once and remember Stafford had his best ever game there

We are gonna smoke you guys...good luck in the wildcard game while we watch

BTW...Hope you had a good X-mas my friend

[AngryOldDem]

12. Well, most of our Christmas is still in transit.

Even though delivery was promised yesterday. We should get it by Monday.

That said, it has been a really nice Christmas for us without all the gifting. Just really nice spending time. One of the more peaceful, pleasant days I can recall in a long time.

That's a gift in and of itself, I think.

[mokawanis]

13. Not one damn thing

Just as I requested. We're all contributing to a family get-together this summer, instead of doing xmas now.

[GOLGO 13]

15. Gift certiicate for a Spa day.

And seeing the SIL actually enjoy a dinner I cooked (Thin-sliced slow-roasted Sauerbraten with chipolini and mushrooms in the gravy, mashed red potatoes and turnips boiled with a clove of garlic, green beans sautéed with pine nuts); he's the type who only eats cheeseburgers with catsup. He typically hates mashed potatoes because he hates "mushie" texture.
He claims to hate mustard, mushrooms, onions, and anything with vinegar in it, but he had seconds - and drowned everything in the gravy that had everything he hates like it was - catsup.

[snacker]

16. The flu

Bah Humbug...looks like our Christmas will be on New Year's Day instead.

[eShirl]

17. $20 and some cards

the household received a few gifts of home-crafted food items: cinnamon bread, mint fudge, molasses cookies, peanut brittle, pickled beets

[Generic Brad]

18. Mini Kuerig coffee maker

And then I booked a trip to our nation's capitol for later this year so I can lose myself in the Smithsonian for a week.

[DawgHouse]

30. I saw that the mini K10 has been recalled.

Just wanted to make sure you knew in case that was the one your received.

[Generic Brad]

33. I am very aware

But it was from my kid. I have decided to live dangerously and scurry away immediately after I hit the "Brew" button.

[elias49]

19. Jackpot! Got one of these babies!

I like protein shakes in the morning and smoothies anytime!

[marzipanni]

20. Fun to see that nice-looking machine

I have an ancestor I bought ~35 years ago, but I need to get a neoprene-like gasket or its top will leak.

[WinkyDink]

21. Big $$ and a ruby bracelet!

I lost my husband this year, but I decided that he can still "give" me a present at Christmas! (And I spent much less on it than he would have!)

[Joe Shlabotnik]

22. not much,

a few free bottles of wine from work, and thats about it. But lots of paid time off, so thats pretty cool.

[Initech]

23. I got a nice pair of headphones, a Noctua D14, and a Ducks jersey.

I'd say I scored big time!

Oh and the headphones I got were not Beats By Dre. I scored these in an Amazon deal:

http://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-Crossfade-On-Ear-Noise-Isolating-Headphone/dp/B00IYH1UBY/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1419579689&sr=8-9&keywords=v+moda+headphones

And this is what a Noctua D14 is:

[HeiressofBickworth]

25. An inside and outside detailing of my 13-year-old car.

The car is a 2001 Camry with 98,000 miles on it. I'm an old lady and I'm planning for this to be my last car. It's in need of a detailing after a 2,700 mile drive to and from Seattle to Denver last September with my granddaughter and her dog. Runs great -- no leaks, no odd sounds and it still gets pretty good mileage. But those bugs hitting the car at freeway speeds certainly made it look grubby. On Social Security, money for detailing just doesn't fit the budget. It doesn't help that I don't have covered parking so it's out in the weather all the time. The kids, being both thoughtful and practical, gave me the detailing. That and the movie tickets for AMC, Regal and a Seattle International Film Festival membership made for a perfectly lovely Christmas.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

26. A bottle of Scotch that doesn't taste like mouthwash.

I'm not a big drinker but my cousin Malcolm came to see us.

We're all Scottish (me,my hubby and my cousin on my mom's side, all have last names starting with Mc) so we had to indulge.
This was something called Craggenmore.

We watched music videos on my large screen TV hooked up to my laptop and cousin and I were singing along loudly to "Every Breath You Take". He's a guitar player and he and I both think that Brian May is the coolest guy on the planet. Well, except that I have a crush on Brian, since I'm female and straight, and he's male and straight, but other than that, he's the idol of both of us.

I also exposed him to the music video of "The Scotsman", which he was not familiar with!!!!!

[RebelOne]

27. My son gave me a RCA Pro 10 Tablet with a keyboard folio.

I have been wanting a tablet or I Pad for a long time.

[mopinko]

28. i got a lump of coal.

ok, honestly, i got a few specimen rocks from my rock hound kid.
that's it.
5 kids. that's it.

i feel downright disgraced by the kind of jerks my kids have grown up to be.

they took good care of daddy, tho. he has all the money now.

[IrishEyes]

29. Here is my list.

Dress
Skirt
Tablet
Purse
Bag
Money
Graphic Novel

Plus there are three presents that are in the mail or at the post office.

[DFW]

31. Almost exactly what I wanted, which was mostly nothing

I had the most important thing: the company of my 4 women (2 daughters, wife, & her mom).

A few token incidentals from my mom-in-law, plus, from my daughters, a reservation at the HUSK restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina, for December 27th, which you have to make like 6 months in advance.

Other that that, I have everything I want or need on a material basis, so I have more fun giving presents these days than getting them, and you can't buy health or a partner.

[JesterCS]

34. Samsung Galaxy Tab4 10.1"

I love the thing. I take it with me everywhere

[Hatchling]

35. I scored a room.

In a homeless transitional program.

[Dystopian]

37. Hatchling

<3


peace~

[Dystopian]

36. Sorry...

I thought it was about giving ... being humble and not telling the world.

Kids score... adults revel in good deeds.



peace & joy~

[Iggo]

38. MXR Micro Flanger.

39. Bose Soundlink mini bluetooth speaker.

The sound is awesome. I have the best boyfriend ever.

I gave him a Star Trek bathrobe in blue for Mr. Spock. (He says he is Spock rather than Kirk).
