I gave the obligatory Snuggie (Two actually), a Tickle-Me Elmo, a Disney Princess popup playtent thing, Venture Bros Season 3 on Blu-Ray, and my old Opty 165@2.8Ghz + 8600GTS. Brother was very happy with that, cant wait to see what he thinks when I jump him to E8600 + 2x8800GT SLi.

I got a B&D hammer/screwdriver/tape measure kit, a couple flashlights, a knife, some fruit breads, towels, and flatware.
 
The wife got me a PS3 but not the new slim one of the older backwards compatible ones; albeit the software backwards compatible PS3 but nonetheless I do not have maintain 2 PlayStation consoles.

But the best gift of all was the fact that the wife actually listened and got a backwards compatible PS3 rather than skimping out and simply buying the new slim.

Gotta love the wife! What a good girl...

Hey at least you get to wrap something or at least have the hope to.
 
Let's see. I got new tires and shocks for my Envoy. A gift card for a full exterior/interior detail for it. A Sony Blu Ray player with Netflix access. 2 Dallas Cowboys jerseys and a couple gift cards. Got my wife a 23" monitor, a laser printer, some gold earnings...Oh and a new privacy fence for the back yard. :)
 
Gave Wii and Wii Fit Plus... along with a cordless mouse and Plants vs. Zombies for my step-dad.

Got ski-rope, electric razor, pellet gun and bought myself Hearts of Iron III for $7.49 on Steam! Bless you Valve!
 
MrHorspwer got a Hamilton Khaki Automatic watch, a Marlin 336 lever-action rifle, the entire collection of Pixar movies on Blu Ray, and a couple t-shirts.

MrsHorspwer got a Coach purse, a Tiffany braclet, EA Active, Wii Sports Resort, an oontzy jewelry box, an iPod radio dock, and chololate.

From the family, we got a digi camcorder and New SMB Wii.
 
I got a freaking midwest snowstorm. Other than that, I don't make enough money to buy nice things like the rest of you. Merry Christmas richies.
 
xmas started early in my house. Wife and I got eachother 24" Dell monitors on cyber monday. Picked up some digital photo frames for both sets of parents on black friday. As well as some new office chairs to enhance our gaming comfort. I also picked up a moto droid for myself and a BB tour for the wife. Kids aren't old enough for the tech stuff yet but they were equally spoiled this year in their own right. yay for saving money and staying home for the holidays haha. happy new year all.
 
i got absolutly zero. so christmas is always been a hard time fore me since my family dont to the christmas thing for me and my 2 brothers. only for my sister she does christmas. so absolutly zero is the answer 🙁
 
My cats got me a remote control helicopter (http://www.yibootoys.com/ProductShow.asp?ID=212) and my 3 year old son got me a Kimber 1911 .45 Automatic(http://www.kimberamerica.com/products/pistols/eclipse/eclipse_custom_II/)
 
Well I got a Razer Mamba for myself and a media center PC for my parents!
I'm still waiting for Razer to send me the mouse though...
 
Computer wise, all I received was just an XTRAC Pads Pro gaming mouse pad for my old Logitech MX518 on my desktop and a wireless Logitech V220 travel mouse for my laptop.

Other than that: 4 PS2 games (all three Atelier Iris games and Final Fantasy X), a die cast T-34/85 tank model, a quilt my granny sewed, a pair of New Balance 993s, and a Craftsman 2 1/4 Ton floor jack and jack stands (man I've been wanting a good jack for ages).

As for what I gave, though we all said some presents were from me, they weren't. I'm currently unemployed so all the presents to my mom, my dad paid for and vice versa.

My mom, I "got" her a nutcracker, as I do every year cause she LOVES them, Monk Season 2 on DVD, and a booklight. My dad, I got him the same Logitech V220 I got (weird) and a 4GB flash drive. My elder brother, I set up his new wireless network (twice, first router was a dud) and I helped pick out a bow-tie he wanted for some strange reasons.
