My haul:

A new Craftsman snowblower. Hopefully now that I don't have to break my back shoveling it'll never snow again.

A heavy wool shirt in my favorite dark red color.

A talking pedometer & calorie counter. *Probably says, " Put down the food and run faster, lard butt."

A 750ml bottle of Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac. :jumping:

Well part of my early present was xbox 360 elite, which was between me & my dad (but I never go on it :confused: ) Otherwise its smellies, dressing gown, chocolate and underwear. :laugh4:

Oh money too, £70 ($100?) but I spent some of that on presents for my parents so =/

Doctor Who Series 1-4 box set, some books (including Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters and Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter), a few DVDs and a new Digital Camera that is good but cheap enough for me to take into moshes at concerts without fearing for it.

A denim jacket... and that's it. (It is a sweet jacket, though.)

Oh, yeah, and a tweed jacket for my soon-to-come job interviews. But I don't actually have it yet, so it's kind of a post-Christmas present.
