This post was published 10 months 26 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.So the holidays are in full swing and I want to begin the third annual “What Did You Get” post.
Drop a line in the comments about what you favorite gift your have gotten this season. I must say that this year I received the greatest gift I have ever received.
I got a gift card to Books and Co. =) I am a nerd.
What did you get?
I’ve never been a materialist. Don’t get me wrong I love toys but the hand made, personal stuff gets me every time.
I got the sweetest, most loving card I have ever gotten in my whole life. Sappy, I know but man oh man did it make me smile!
I got a mighty warning from parents not to waste my money on gadgets. Else, I was hoping to buy a 24″ Monitor.
What did you get?
Books. The stack of unread-will-git-to-it pile exceeds 4ft.
@Johansen
I see you have a stack rivaling mine.
A lump of coal.

Absolutely nothing (besides my rather wealthy uncle’s “Give to everyone” gift). My family, rather affected by the economy, decided to take a different approach to Christmas. Instead of giving gifts to members of the family, we decided to give a donation to the victims of a recent apartment fire. The sad thing is the fire was VERY recent, it happened on Monday Dec 22. It actually feels better that we gave gifts rather than received them.
“More Information Than You Require”, by John Hodgman. One of the best books ever.
A gift for myself: a 2006 Scion xB, after totaling my truck 2 weeks ago.
Otherwise, sore rib cage for the next few weeks. The gift that keeps on giving. (Ouch)
Money is tight so I asked for nothing but still received the movie Singles on DVD.
A simple item, but one that was purchased with much thought and that has a lot of sentimental value.
i also received a Flickr Pro account from a friend which was way above and beyond.
GF got an iPod nano, and a 10 megapixel camera. I got the zombie survival guide and scrubs season 5 :)
20″ iMac (got it myself for everyone), a remote control helicopter (the little indoor toy kind), and some dvds and sweaters. I always gets sweaters.
I bought a region-free blu-Ray for the wife and I and had the pleasure of seeing her excited reaction when she saw the first bluray disk (Firefly) play. She forgave me making the (pretty expensive) purchase without consulting her first.
“More Information Than You Require”, by John Hodgman. One of the best books ever.
Agree with you!
i didn’t get anything =( … i am so sad
