I know it's stupid, but I buy a ton of books in brick and mortar stores mostly because of how badly a few online orders have arrived to me. I've had paperbacks that were almost completely folded in the middle. Pisses me off so much. Not sure why so many people who work in the postal service have to be complete assholes. All of us get pissed off at our job from time to time, but I don't screw other people's days over when it happens.Quote:

i got a sweet pair of raising/lowering barstools for my cabs from the in-laws.
i got a baseball signed by the surviving members of the 1962 mets (first year!) with jim hook 'first mets win 4/28/62' inscribed at the sweetspot.
a bunch of itunes cards, a gift card to bestbuy, an hdmi cable (which was a miscommunication from my wife to a gift giver and hysterical)
a kenneth cole watch from my pop.
a nice little low fat fryer from my grandparents.
the limited edition of futurama monopoly along with the corrected misprint cards and a letter from usaopoly.
a find the stig wheres waldo-type book.
all in all- it was a pretty good haul.
Mostly got clothes (socks/underwear/sweaters/a few shirts and one bitchin flannel as well as some gift cards. Most interesting gift card was a $100 for a Southwest Airlines Flight. Oh the possibilities. Wasn't planning any trips this upcoming year but may have to. My sister got me a cute cat related item :emb:
Best "gifts" I got was some firearm related items I bought for myself. I don't know if it really counts as a gift since in order to get this stuff I had to sell other stuff, but the new stuff I got (and am waiting to get in the mail) is a hell of a lot nicer than the old stuff. If you're interested look for pictures in the Firearm enthusiast thread in the next couple of weeks (when all the goodies arrive.)
Of the gifts I didn't buy for myself I appreciate socks and underwear the most. Stupid I know but I love not having to buy these items and getting them as gifts.
2 sweatshirts
Music CD
$180 total cash
lotto scratcher (didn't win anything)
It's funny how as a kid we hated getting clothes, but we appreciate the shit out of them as adults. I do like not having to shop for new clothes for awhile.Quote:

MY Christmas was spending quality time with my kids, and seeing them happy.

I see these threads every year, every year I see people missing the point entirely.
