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.

    It's like X-mas all year 'round for me. I get what I want, when I want and when I can afford it. Single life has it's advantages. ;)

    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.

    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.
