    sounds like someone needs to read the recent ladyfriend/dating threads.

    I got myself some Chrome Hearts.

    We got a Vita-Mix but I'm going to call it a Vita(Veeta) Mix because my girlfriends mother gave it to us and her name is Vita.


    That's about it.

    damn y'all are rich

    I got a plain zip up hoodie.

    edit: King Most hooked me up with a fresh music related t-shirt.


    My gifts to the fam was all paintings, except the kids who got some storebought jernts...would have loved to have given more but that's the way it is right now.

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

    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

    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.

    got a bunch of cool stuff(including the Studio One Story DVD), but the cool part was that my girl put all my presents in vintage LP and 45 carrying cases! (I know, I already started a thread about it, but it was a cool thing and I am excited about it)

    The food this year was top shelf...

    espresso and marizipan stolen while opening gifts, then my girl started making breakfast from scratch:

    broccoli, roasted red pepper and mushroom Quiche
    bacon
    mimosas

    then for a snack a couple hours later
    turkey
    cheese
    dry italian sausage
    Duvel

    then we watched a movie and had some killer ginger potato chips...

    then christmas dinner:

    I grilled a Sirloin tip Elk Roast (Elk is awesome, not gamey at all and a lot of flavor)
    my girl made:

    Pan fried Sweet Potato, Butter and Parmesan au graten...
    ginger carrots
    fresh baked bread

    then for dessert (from scratch)
    ginger cheesecake (uhh, I like ginger if you couldnt guess)

    then as a digestiv:
    Poli grappa

    then a big bowl of kind bud

    it was a good day....
