Oldschoolspinna

This year I gots a New Turntable/cd/tape/am/fm combo type thing from the In-laws..Its not quite what I was looking for but, I cant expect them to know what a Vestax Portable is, It was a very nice tought, and Ill probly put it in the spare room for tunes while im not near the main system.

In addition I got 2 new shirts, a 200 gig serial ata Hard drive, some star wars transformers, cash, some starbucks gift cards, and a shiatsu back massager for the computer chair.

But most of all I got to spend time with my Family & Grandmother, shes gettin pretty old, and its not to long before we lose her, so every moment is presious.

As a whole I find myself very blessed this year, I got Married to a GREAT woman, picked up a whole new set of family, who are great BTW, I have a good job, a decent boss, the Wife got a GREAT job just before we ran out of money after the wedding.......Someone is looking out for me this year, It feels good for a change.


Peace and love to you and yours this holiday season.

Exactly. "Things" mean nothing.

All that I got was a total surprise for me. It's been a good year and this was a nice way to end it. I'm glad everyone liked what they got. The most expensive thing I gave was a week of me watching the kids and taking care of all the housework for my wife.

heh heh,



my lady has been working a temp job for the last few weeks and I've soaked up the
extra domestics along the way (picking up kids from school, additional trips to
the park, "clean your room/mess", initiating activities, cooking, dishes/laundry for 4, etc)....having dinner ready by 6:00 is not always as easy as it might seem . Needless to say the music stuff has been strictly late night, haha

Aser

best gift I got was seeing 20 happy faces at my christmas dinner party.

Says the owner of a new Xbox.

Just joking.

I am at a good point in my life where I was able to give way more than I got. In addition to hooking up most of my family nicely, I also surprised a bunch of friends who I never really bought gifts.

As far as myself, I got a new teapot, new pots and pans, several books (including Barrak Obama's latest), and the Wire on DVD.

Electrode

CD reissues of Thelonious Monk's "Monk's Dream", two Clifford Brown / Max Roach EmArcy sessions and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder", which is good since a couple of those I have on vinyl are scuffed up
