Hi all, I trust you all had a great Christmas!

I thought I'd give a quick list of some notable gifts that I received, as is the custom around these here parts

• 3 months of XBL
• 1600 Microsoft Points
• Mario Kart (W/Wheel)
• A stand for my tx2510us laptop
• A great chair for my desk

• A D610 Laptop
• GForce 7800 Video card
• 19” Widescreen monitor
• 4-5 Bugs Bunny trinkets
• Gears of War book

Some other gifts given to others by others in our house

• Xbox 360
• Mortal Kombat Vs DC
• Some kind of basketball game
• A Proposal of marriage

Sure there were a lot of other gifts which were all pretty awesome, but most aren’t so interesting to write about here. Nothing I gave can quite top a marriage proposal and all six of us had a great time.

I did get one other gift though, which is so outstanding that it doesn’t even belong in the same list as the rest. A three day trip to San Francisco starting on my 29th birthday (Having a wife is awesome. FACT!)  We’ll be in the Fairmont about 20 minutes from the CNET office so I’ll be sure to take a look at where it is since the building does look rather cool. I’m honestly not sure exactly what we’re going to be doing in and around SF besides snapping a lot of photos, but Dana says she has plans that she doesn’t want to spoil so I’ll just have to wait a couple of week before I find out.

What was the best gift you gave and received this Christmas?
