2 Revoltech Miniatures - the ARX Arbelest and the ARX Leviatien. A 42' LG 120hz refresh HDTV for me.

My five year old son got various legos (he made a neat little helicopter out of one.) multiple race car tracks, Transformer action figures (though he likes my FMP mini's better.) and a leapfrog learning station, along with the standard clothes gifts that all kids get... (or at least for my family.)

Nothing for my ailing computer setup unfortunately. I got some socks, a razor, a new coat, $100 from relatives, a $25 gift card to Farm and Fleet, some other small stuff. Pretty crappy Christmas if you ask me.
