First off I'd like to wish eveyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Just thought I'd throw this thread out there to see what eveyone asked Santa for for Christmas. I myself, just the typical stuff like new boxers, t-shirts, socks and clothes. The wife and I buy all year long so it has finally gotten to that time in our lives where it's all about the kids and family. The only one thing I asked for electronic wise was for an i-Pod so I can put all my cd's on it to make more room for movies in my H/T room and I'll probaly get gift certificates. It was funny when I told my dad I wanted an i-Pod his answer was "you want a I what", times have changed.

Can't wait for the ol stock sale $$$ to arrive in 2-3 weeks. Making some changes to my rig at home and adding an SVS sub. SWEET! SDA's going into hibernation for a while along with the Dodd and Carver amp. Going hometheater strictly for a little while.
Merry X-mas to all!

Got a new 8.1 MP digi cam that I've been looking to get for a while. Can finally retire that 1.3 mp digi cam ive been using.
Next best gift was 4 gift certificates to best buy. New TV will be paid for this week so those were very much appreciated.
Then I got the standard gifts of socks/boxers/undershirts/pants/shirts, etc.
All in all, good xmas. -

Well, lemme see what I got this year.
2 pairs of jeans
4 white t-shirts for badminton
2 sets of shirt/pants for pajamas
some gloves
a 30gb iPod
a $75 gift card
And I'm facing a huge dilemma. I got the 30gb iPod. Really wanted the 80gb. The $75 gift card will leave me needing to fork out only $25 to upgrade to the 80gb. Should I? I just can't make up my mind here.George Grand wrote: »

Great gifts gang.
To you guys that got a 360. Get yourself a name on Xbox Live, and post it in the appropriate thread in the video game section. Seriously, do it as soon as you can.
