Ok, so I'm sure the majority of us got all sorts of gifts, both things we asked for and things we didn't ask for but were still great.

However, in all that stuff there always one small thing you asked for that didn't find it's way under the tree but can easily be remedied by a purchase of your own.

All for fun, what small thing did you ask for that didn't make it under the tree?

So what is it Polkies that you ddin't receive? CDs? Vinyl? Pack of gum? Deodorant?

Keep it reasonable, it's all in fun.

For me, it was Assassins Creed for Xbox 360.

    For the 2nd year in a row, I got the SAME book about Boston, MA! :confused:Both times, they came from my sister. Seriously, she's got some sort of memory issue- not medical, just....I friggin don't know?!
    She alsoooo got me a left wing calender, counting down the days til a change of the administrarion.
    I guess I can always keep it for emergency toilet paper:mad:

    On the "Classier" side of the family, my brother got me: the "Nose Picking for Pleasure" book:p

    And they don't don't understand WHY I moved 1,000 miles away?!:confused:
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    I didn't ask for anything, so I wasn't dissapointed with anything I got.

    Well, there was the hair clippers I got. I think my wife is telling me to trim the moustache more often.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    Eh, mainly I wanted a 500GB HD and a tv tuner, neither of which I got. However, I got a lot of cool other stuff I totally wasn't expecting, so it was a good Christmas.

    Especially when I get to spend the cash I get from taking some of the things back. :D

    George Daniel...love the new sig.

    What I didn't get was that all elusive ten pound bag of hundred dollar bills. Every year I ask for it. Every year it doesn't come. For some reason, it can't easily be remedied by a purchase of my own. The clerks look at me as if I'm crazy or something? Damn clerks.
