My sister, who lives in England but visits every Christmas, brought me a set of 4 paperback books written by Clarkson! Last year it was a Stig RC cart and keychain.

I'm sensing a pattern here, and couldn't be happier about it!

My wife and I exchanged presents last night but it cannot be censored enough to post. Sometimes the best presents are free.

Got the full Adobe CS4 suite, Adobe Lightroom, 5 4 gig memory cards for my cameras, a Domke F6 camera bag, first two season of Digging for the Truth on DVD, Wanted on Blueray and the new Narnia movie, some photography books and a $100 gift card.

However the best thing I got was that girl from my college that was in the photo with the pup sent me a text saying Merry Christmas. Totally not expected and really made my day.

I didn't really ask for anything, so from my mom, I got a bread machine (making my first loaf now) and assorted necessities that I hate buying for myself like underwear and socks.

From dad and his side of the family, I got cash, and the same type of produce knife that he used back when he worked in a store 20-odd years back. This was really cool; I haven't been able to find one I liked, and the one he got me has a nice leather holster and carved wooden handle.

I'll head over tomorrow and get an equipment kit, pick a style to brew. This should be fun, I've been collecting refillable bottles for months now, I should have enough for 3 or 4 batches :D.

Excellent. Now head over to homebrewtalk.com for some advice if you need it! I'm SkinnyShamrock over there. And may I suggest an English Brown or American Pale Ale as your first brew...they're very easy to get right and end up awesome 99% of the time.

I got some CDs, a couple t-shirts, some brewing supplies, and cash from the grandparents.

My evil, sinister wife secretly blew our agreed upon budget to buy me a laptop so I can play Irace. The in-laws got me a Pegasus gift certificate so I can buy either a transponder or a down payment on a HANS. Yeah, I'm pretty happy.

It's a strat copy made by Silvertone. I haven't picked up a guitar in about 15 years, and I've been wanting to start again. I thought about getting one of those kits, but I figured it would never get finished.

I got a new PS3 with little big planet and Fallout 3 some blue ray movies to watch on it. (played that thing till 3am last night) I also got an ipod nano with an adapter to use it in the car. I got one of those marshmellow guns too.

One of the coolest things I got since I'm a big pulp fiction fan was a BMF wallet, really funny, I can't wait to whip that out to pay for something!
