My kid's mother was not thrilled to find out the big present under the tree was a transmission my son got me for my Civic project I'm working on.
Ummm, let's see....a $50 gift card from a former co-worker who had me write a crucial letter for his part of a lawsuit. This was completely unexpected; I'd've done it for any friend, for free. But it was welcome and shall be used wisely.
Also, a pair of half-finger 'glommitts'. I go through a couple pair a year, what with having frozen my fingers when I was a kid, and having buggered a couple fingers with gravity induced stupid stuff happening.
But the best part so far has been that 'work' has been calm today: just make the power go down the line, do the usual daily crap, and go home tonight in a couple hours.
The other best part has been seeing SWMBO smiling with what I got her.
It's been a good Christmas!
I got a Snap-on torque wrench from Janel. Wow!
New, correctly sized wool suit.
Leather dress shoes.
iPad.
Real rolling floor jack.
Real ratcheting jack stands.
Kobalt multi socket thing.
Bench grinder.
Cordless circular and reciprocating saw.
Cordless tight spaces drill driver.
Bengals scarf.
Bearcats hoodie.
I've been good and have a wonderful wife and family!
Merry Christmas

And enough money left over from my proffit share check so when I get my taxes back I can get another car.
Lets see...Craftsman stack tool box(s), several movies including a couple bond flicks, Roger Moore/Jane Seymor and the one with Halle Berry, a daily car calender, some cash, some clothes and a picture book of my grandson so far. Oh yeah, a steering wheel for last years PS3 and 2 Need For Speed games for it. One downloading updates as I type this.
Down comforter, couple sweatshirts, coffee mug, food, little bit of cash/gift card from the family.
Confirmation of a check for $3075 for my POS winter beater from someone elses insurance company 
Time to start doing some shopping for myself, methinks.
New MK2 steering rack conversion for the Cooper S... Can't wait to see what its like to drive the thing without 5 inches of play in the wheel
Garmin Nuvi, shaving gel warmer, "ITS A TRAP" X-Wing t-shirt, Kitten Party dvd, baby stegasauras, shaving gel for said warmer, candy, iTunes card(TGUK season 6)
Magellan GPS, Clarkson On Cars, The World According to Clarkson
So, the wife and youngest son do pay some attention ...
It's been a good xmas for me too!
-A bunch of nice clothes, some T-shirts, jeans, sweaters. a NICE pair of slacks, something i've never had before/been to cheap to go anywhere nicer than target to buy, and a super nice pair of lined gloves.
-Lots of gift cards to target/starbucks/mobil station (all VERY important to grad students, especially the gas cards with what I drive)
-some food (including but not limited to shortbread, probobly 10,000 calories worth)
-2 craploads of recipe cards, which is great because I have no idea how to make anything, living just blocks from a big grocery store with super fresh (like, i can see the ocean from my window) seafood. Now i can use some of it!
-5 archaeology text books I was too broke to buy. They're not required for classes, but I just wanted them.
-64gb iPod touch (woo hoo!!)
Now i'll have to go and get It's a Trap!
Having read these last couple pages, I'm thinking we've been some (mostly) good boys and girls! Christmas can be a downer of a time, but mostly it's pretty good...and the time with family and loved ones can be both aggravating and exhilirating...
Happy Day-After-Christmas! Don't forget those of us who help keep the lights on, hey?
My two year old son got a pretty cool little race car from his uncle. Comes with tools to work on it, but oriented for someone his age. He loves it, and that warms my heart(and his uncle's). Very fortunate to be with family, some of them driving two days just to get here.
Got gift cards to Sears, FYE and Target, money (going into the bike), an Andy Carroll Newcastle United jersey, a crockpot and GPS.
1943 MN M91/30. Slip on "Limb Saver" recoil pad.
LASIK (going to be performed on the 29th)
A fancy engraved pipe lighter and leather pipe case
Cash
Numerous gift cards including $100 to Fry's (courtesy of being a teacher)
I had a very "Zombie Killer" Christmas
Not shown in the picture I got a couple wooden storage boxes, a poker set, a couple movies and Cabelas Dangerous Hunts for the XBox 360.
It was a huge Christmas with us especially having 3 houses to go spend time at during the day.
Man you guys got some sweet stuff.
I made off with a PS3 and GT5, a color-screen Nook (one of those eReader things), a kitchen scale, a CD scratch fixer, and a roasting pan.
In reply to Twin_Cam:
You will have to let us know how you like the Nook Color. I'm looking at getting one in a few months once I have recovered from Christmas.
? No, that's not a joke. The wife got one as well.
I got nothing. Not one single gift from anyone. And I don't feel too bad about it.
What does your stocking need?
