Ok, so no video blog for this, but just going to share with you guys the present that were given to me for Christmas and what I gave out.

I gave:

  • Dad - Stanley 8oz flask, "A Christmas Story" 25th anniversary edition
  • Mom - College license plate holder that says UCSB Mom, Western Europe travel guide
  • Uncle - Shaving sample kit from "The Art of Shaving," Stanley 8oz flask
  • Sister - Sex and the City DVD, some special shower soap thing
We do a Kris Kringle b/w the adults in my family, so we don't have to buy presents for everyone (big family, would cost a ton of $$ for everyone).

I received:
  • Some "dress" clothing for semi-formal occassions (like a cashmere sweater)
  • Tropic Thunder DVD
  • Mel Brooks Complete DVD Collection
  • PBS Empires DVD Collection
  • Spira Genesis running shoes
  • Italy 2009 Calendar
  • $400 and a $75 gift certificate to the Sports Basement

And finally, today I bought myself:
  • NHL 09 (X360)
  • Left 4 Dead (PC via Steam)
  • Grey sweatpants
  • A dozen Krispy Kreme donuts

In all, I had a great Christmas.  I'm definitely watching the ads as they come in for the after Christmas sales.  Best time to buy clothes is now! 

I hope everyone had a great Christmas or whichever holiday you celebrate.

Hey, sounds like a great Christmas. The only game I got was Dead Space, playing and liking it. I have enough gift cards and money to buy two more games... probably Civ Rev and Fable 2. I've been very busy since last Friday, it feels like a Christmas tornado came through town. Take care and have fun playing the games.

Civilization Revolution is a very nice game, but just be prepared for the online multiplayer part of it! There's alot of bugs! But if you're a hermit and you enjoy single player more, then you'll have a great time.
