The 2009 Holiday "What Did You Get Thread"

Recommended Posts

My big present this year was a pair of SE16s. Leaving town for a few days tomorrow, then gotta bake 'em and wait half a day. The wait is gonna be a killer.

I got a belt, giftcard, and an Ipod. My parents must of forgot that they got me an Ipod last Christmas, lol. I agree with the others who said the holidays are more special for the younger kids, Im 18 and when my parents asked me what I wanted I was just like "uhhhhhhhh", money I guess

On the bright side tho my dad, the worlds hardest person to shop for, seemed to really like the robe I got him

On a sidenote, anyone else stuck with a bunch of family over? My annoying nieces and my brothers ex decided to surprise us by coming. Woot! <_<

Don't knock it...My parents and 2 brothers live in Nova Scotia...no way I could afford the trip out there this year. My other brother is up in Sault St. Marie with his GF (now fiance, I'm told...congrats Dave & Amy)...and due to a last minute change of plans...I couldn't spend today with my GF's family as we had initially planned...so I've been home alone all day watching the NBA.

Hoping my GF comes by later tonight...there are still a few gifts to give. Actual gifts, get your minds out of the gutter kids *L*

Got some Johnnie Walker Green Label. Awesome.

Bigger highlight though was watching my daughter opening all her gifts and cruising around the kitchen on the bike Santa brought her.

I got an IPod Classic, Hangover on DVD, some cash, and a new pair of sneaks.

when I get asked what I want for the holidays, it gets harder and harder to think. This year I just asked for a few things that I needed, IE a new set of contact lenses, some tools for school, and cash towards a macbook pro, and got all of it plus the dvd and the ipod.

Well I know I'm getting a spring break trip to Spain paid for and I assumed that was it, but apparently not as my mom got mad at me for not giving her ideas :)

I got tired of the constant questions from my mother and now I just tell her "hookers and blow". For some reason she doesn't ask much anymore.

If I asked my mother for that it would be a serious answer.

This year, most excited about at Tim Hortens coffee maker and gift certificates.

A really nice leather travel bag, and a decent haul of No Mas T-shirts. Also, XXXX Pro gloves - sort of -- I bought them for myself from HockeyMonkey on black friday ($80 after sale price, and 20% off code) - my wife's parents are in the U.S. so I had them shipped to their house, and I've had to wait until now to get my grubby paws on them. Flying to my parents' house on Tuesday, so hopefully updates to the haul will occur then.

I've only had Christmas with my girlfriend's family but I got some damn good gifts considering I wasn't expecting anything. I got a red 2010 Olympic hockey jersey, Starbucks gift card, golf magazines and hockey themed asswipe.

Nikki (my girlfriend) and I have dinner at my family's house with presents to follow so my list should grow a little (I hope!).

Um...what?

Dude, I was thinking the same thing. WTF is a hockey-themed asswipe???

My guess would be a Rangers jersey.

This was all about the wife and kids as usual, but I'm placing my order for an absolutely disgusting Mac Pro on Monday.

$5 Subway card, a puzzle, a mug, bottle of shampoo and some chocolate. And later today we're having about 30 family members over for my dad's side celebrations. hooray family :huh:

I think I'm going to get myself my concealed pistol license and a holster and gun belt when I get cash together in a month or two. Or a .357magnum revolver.

Most of my good presents were ones I bought for myself: new gloves and stick. I did grab a new Keurig coffe maker for work, and Assassins' Creed 2 from the broad though. The uncle came up solid too, gave me a box of golf balls and a new lob wedge.

Ah lets see, i got a new pea coat from J.Crew that I really wanted, an Incase backpack for my MacBook Pro, I've had an old Sabres jersey in my closet with no name on the back for awhile that i never wore, so my parents took it and got Tyler Myers' name and number put on it, a cool book called "Sabres in Traffic", which is neat photography done of the Sabres by a local photographer, a couple other books I wanted, and just random other articles of clothing and gift cards.

Couple movies and small things. Big gifts were xm radio and a gps for my car. But the biggest gift was my grandfathers guns he left us after he passed. 3 grandsons-3 guns. We drew at random. My cousin got the beretta tomcat 3032. My brother a Walther PPK .380, and I got a s&w .357mag revolver. All three in mint condition and I'm ready to hit the local range. Tomorrow is Christmas at my father and stepmothers not sure what I'll get there. Probably money as my dad is gonna take me on post and I'm gonna pick up a new pistol next month or so (trying to figure between a fnp9mm and Springfield xd9mm. Possibly a G19)

It was a good Christmas, I'm just wishing we had some snow or at least colder weather...

A nice little netbook from my parents (with a case), a one95 a week or so ago as I needed a new stick for a tournament, some random gift cards from relatives, a cool pair of Under Armour shorts, 2 old Navy shirts, and A pair of Nike Shox.

Worked out very well.
