    I got lots of cash, Gears of War, jeans, couple of nice shirts and a couple of great books.

    Well so far, I've got the Family Guy Season 4 box set, a set of wind-up racing grannies, lots of sweeties, and permission from the Mrs to build a new PC after the Xmas festivities have died down

    This gives me an idea for another thread...

    I got,

    -MacBook Pro 2.33GHz
    -mug coasters
    -little cash (something like 5quid LOL)
    -a t-shirt that won't fit
    -Season 2-3 of Frasier

    What I bought myself,

    -Omega Seamaster Chronograph
    -The new Starwalker fragrance (Montblanc)
    -Season 1 of Frasier

    At the same time I've been hosting my Mom, my cuz and myself at the Colombo Hilton from the 23rd (till the 27th) and we've really been dining way too much I think I gave more this Christmas than get, which is probably how it should be...

    ...I think I'm going to have to buy a treadmill as a New Year's gift to shed this rich food!
