I got a picture of the 1980 Cosmos Roster. Takes me back to the great environment of "Cosmos Country" and having the opportunity to see some of the all time greatest soccer players in history.

A Lowes gift card. I live in a 100 year old farm house that I'm renovating. That's one of the reasons I'm broke all the time.

I'm an air cooled fan myself, but have yet to actually scoop one up. I have my eye on a squareback, though.

Got a nice Crafstman 6-wheel creeper / 3 ton jack / jack stands set... Now I can save us some serious coin on simple things like oil changes.Santa didn't bring me a garage though, so I'll be working out in the driveway but at least it's paved.

Babylon 5: The complete series, the complete movies (I wasn't even aware there were movies,) the complete behind-the-scenes kinda' stuff and the complete (and short-lived) spin-off series.When my wife does something, she goes all out. I would have been happy with just the series.

Took me by surprise, got a real nice pipe and some good tobacco. never smoked a pipe before. Very pleasant.Also a remote start, some tools and a LOT of clothing.But my girl couldn't be with me today, quite disappointing.And the presents I wrapped in boxes from http://prankpack.com had everyone confounded. well worth the money, even though they're really expensive for nothing but a cardboard box.

M'lady went all out and got me a Ween fanboy gift pack:andandbut that pales in comparison to the look on our daughter's face when we introduced her to our new dog! Photos to come, but she's a cutie. Kind of a border collie/spaniel mix. Her name is Sammy Davis Junior Junior

So did I, but I got into it late so I caught most of them in reruns the first time around. There was so much to like and SOOOOO much better than the Star Trek (especially Next Gen, Voyager) @ the time.

I don't know that I have a favourite prezzie. I got a Nikkor Micro lens for my camera and a bracelet from my hubby. On boxing day I gifted myself with a new BlackBerry Bold 9700 that came with a $200 Best Buy gift card just for buying the 'berry.

My wife and I decided to focus on our little man this year. With my income being our only, we had somewhat limited funds and wanted to make sure he had a good Christmas and we still had money for bills and a little to set aside for our honeymoon in February. But, our parents still got us presents and I'd have to say that MY fav is the first printing "Complete Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" after my Mom accidentally sold my second printing at the yard sale. She did one better in replacing it. Shows my Mom still cares.It was hard not to buy my wife anything, but I realized as we sat watching Ethan open all of his presents that in reality, I had given her the best gift possible. A strong and loving father for her son and a loving and dedicated partner for her. She likewise gave me the same. A loving son who even though he spent his first 7 years without me now treats me as if he is my own flesh and blood... and a dedicated partner who is the absolute love of my life. So, my favorite present this Christmas? The fact that I'm still here to have shared it with my family that I adore!
