Get some hot shit? Break it down. I got me some nice shirts, hoodies, new Microwave records, slipmats, styluses, some jimmy smith albums, hugo montenegro joints, a ton of funk 45's like isleys and rick james, money, herbals, some other random shit. This chick ive been talking to though got my dog some bones/toys and nothing for me, which i thought was a little strange. But whatever....

Honestly my favorite gifts this year were moments that make me realize how much I really do have.

The best thing I got was seeing my parents happy with what I got 'em. EL GIFT OF GIVING IN EFFECTO!
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
thanks guys...

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.
