The ST XI phaser is awesome. I have two young boys, so I have two of them, and when I see one sitting all alone, it's hard to resist picking it up and having some fun. I keep trying to tell myself I'm soon to be thirty, but it's not working.
Santa brought you????

I'm very sorry to hear this. I feel your pain with the cold room. I was without heat for eleven days and just got a new furnace this week. I hope things turn around for you and your new year overcompensates for your current hardships.
That's a cool item. My Mother gave that to my Brother last year, on my recommendation.
As for this year, I was surprised. I was expecting True Blood and Vega$ and got Bones and Three Stooges. I also got Volume One of the hardcover Complete Bloom County (which contains some of the precursor strips from Brethed's college years), a reproduction of the 1897 Sears Catalog and a miniature Stonehenge (assembly required
). Also candy, handheld games, and various odds and ends. Oh, and the Hurley action figure. And new socks.

Jetfire is having a worse XMas than Charlie Sheen. Sorry, man.
2 belts - yay...practical gifts.
Assorted food, salsa, chips, summer sausage, caramel chocolates, english toffee, hot cocoa mix (i.e. shit you get for people you don't really know)
$25 Target gift card (Hey, kids remember when $25 could buy some stuff?)
A few GI JOE comic books, but not ones I needed to rebuild my vintage collection,...so meh.
No matter how much I lower my expectations, Xmas is always a let down. At least it's almost over.
And I've got heat.

My most awesome gift was seeing my wife taking pictures of my daughter's first Christmas. 
As far as a material gift, I got a digitial voice recorder from my wife. Second place was my new gym bag. Third was the District 9 blu-ray my daughter got me. I hope it's good!

Although the material gifts were delightful, nothing outshined the magic of Christmas exuded by my daughter.
And a very close second was the musicmaking from all of the groups I had the privilege to be involved with last night and tonight. The musicianship and the depth of the souls of those who sang and played was... well, enough to make this grizzled old teacher cry.
Jesus is the reason for the season, yes, but the JOY of the things that come with the season can melt even the iciest hearts.
Merry Christmas to all, <sniffle> and to all a Good Night!

Santa brought me a lovely navy twin-set from Land's End, a Norah Jones CD, a Sting CD, a night shirt, some wooden Christmas decorations and a great red tablecloth for our odd size table.
Hubby got some clothes, pjs, and the Star Trek movie. Woo-hoo!
Oh, and my Mother in Law gave us $2,000.

I hope today is better, got to go out and do stuff.
I need to get my mom a power supply for her pc & a router...they are paying for High Speed Internet and her computer is down.
Thanks for all the kind words.

I bought one a while back and I'm constantly playing with it. I used a costume as an excuse to buy that and the tricorder... my GF got me the communicator for my birthday to complete the set. I often get funny glares when she hears me pushing buttons!
I'm not great at describing scents, so I'll just say - it smells good. I felt like I should be sitting in a chair, crossing my legs and pushing buttons.
