i got a really dope 3M respirator (for painting teh graffiti), the Brother Ali (The Undisputed Truth) double LP, some cash from the family, i oddly got 2 pillows cases with 1200's silkscreened on em (pretty dope as well) some clothes from "the roots store" and about 2 weeks ago i bought myself an early gift i got my first MPC a insanely clean and minty 2000, which are oddly hard to come by in my neck of the woods, came with an omega zip drive so i am good to go.
got some tools for around the new house (hedge cutters and stuffs) a wicked nice heater for my 10x12shed/art studio...and my girlfriend and i give each other christmas stockings, mine was full o candy and spray paint caps.
had a good christmas and this year marks my bro's 5th yr that his cancer has been in remission..
I got the original press of this on Christmas Eve (real world finds related), along with a nice grip of other rare calypso 45s. The below youtube is the Colombian bootleg. Feliz Navidad me!
Also, some dude had a yard sale on christmas eve right on Telegraph Ave that I hit up on my way to Whole Foods to get stuff for a holiday party, and I scored a bunch of rare reggae 45s.
For actual presents, I got a nice leather bomber jacket from my girl, electric razor (a popular gift around these parts I see), and some custom curtains crafted from handmade Turkish textiles from my moms.
Jewelery holder for my bling. Much better than the pushpins I was using to hang necklaces.
