Best Xmas gift

[varmint2506]

Hope everyone had a great Xmas! I know all gifts are good but if you had to choose, what was your best gift under the tree this year?  :thumb:

 

I would have to say mine was a Kadak LS443 Dig. camera. Haven't tried it out yet but very anxious to see what it can do.

PS2.  Actually my only gift, but Gran Turismo 3 on the 50" TV is verrrry nice...  Enjoy !!!

Of course with 12" of snow on the ground I just HAD to stay inside most of the day!! So sad...

PS2

Same here, and I already got 5 games for it

 

Other than that I'd have to say clothes, because it's always nicer when someone else buys my clothes for me, saves me all the trouble and frustration.

My best gift was the smiles on the kids faces when they came downstairs on Christmas morning.

 

I didn't really get much, because if I need something I usually just go out and buy it.  I did get a new electric razor and a new pair of Nikes but I picked both of them out so it was no surprise...

Not to be cheesy, but to be honest it was when I saw my g/f face when she opened up her diamond stud earrings.  They were her first diamonds, so it meant alot to her and myself.  Next is that #### ring....

That was a treat for me as well.  My girlfriend almost started crying when she opened up the 16x20 framed picture of her son that I took.  The look on her face was priceless.  Needless to say all of her relatives were oooing and ahhhing at it that evening.

 

However, when I surprised her again after she opened the rest of her little presents w/ the diamond earrings and necklace she was speechless again.  But, I don't think the jewerly even competed w/ the picture.  I've always said it, expensive gifts can in no way compete w/ the gifts from the heart.

I got the f*cking shaft AGAIN!

 

I'm kinda in the same boat as Shaners.  If there's something I want, I simply go get it myself.  I won't let any family member order me performance parts for any vehicle becuase knowing my luck, I'd get parts for a mustang or an F-150.

 

However, this year I made it clear that I wanted that life sized remote control Avalanche.  I made it clear in September when my sister and I were standing next to it in the store (FAO Schwartz) and I said  "THIS IS WHAT I WANT FOR X-MAS!!"

 

I then proceeded to tell my Mother, G/F, and anyone who'd listen that I wanted this.  the day after Thanksgiving, my sister was going shopping and asked again what I wanted...I immediately reminded her of that Avalanche.  This went on two or three more times between Thanksgiving and X-Mas.  I even found it at Wal-Mart with the G/F with me and I pointed it out AGAIN!  Anyone seeing a pattern here?  Obviously they didn't!  I guess the only way I could've drilled it home was if I brought them to the store, carried it to the checkout, and payed for it myself!  

 

So what did CMNT get for X-mas;

From Mom

-about 10 Matchbox cars and a carrying case for them

-A Nike duffle bag (Mom works part time at the outlet factory)

-A Nike umbrella (actually I did need a new umbrella)

-A Star Wars 2003 calendar

 

From my sister and brother in law;

-A neon lit "Heartbeat of America - Chevy" wall clock.  (It's beautiful but I have NO WHERE TO HANG IT!)

 

From the G/F

-A Sony do everything universal remote.  This thing is bigger than a PDA and has an encyclopedia that I need to read in order to simply program the fuggin thing.  She gave me a Buy.com catalog (as her sister is a Market rep their) and circle stuff I thought was cool.  So I circled it, I never expected to get it.  It's nice and all, but I really don't need it since all 15 remotes I have are Sony anyway and they're all universal and control each other.

 

At least they did hear me when I said "NO CLOTHES!"

 

I didn't get any clothes, but I also didn't get the "GODD*MN AVALANCHE I WANTED!!!"

 

Sorry, I'm a little ticked!

It was cool just being with family and stuff, but as far as material objects the Craftsman Pressure washer was a great gift. Cant wait till it warms up, i'll be spraying everything :thumb:

Here's a pic of the small remote control laptop;

Well, I gave my G/F the diamond earings and the diamond pendant.  She absolutely loved them and said that I have great taste.  Meet her the day after and she wore them for me.  But what was even better, and here's a free one for all you guys, earlier that evening I meet her at a restraunt and brought a long a couple of lavender roses.  Absolute home run.  First she absolutely loved them.  Second every woman there couldn't stop starring at them and third she even was complimented on them at least twice.  Try it some time, they just eat it up, especially if another woman talks about it.  This actually turned out better than the diamonds and it was a #### of a lot cheaper.  Many points for that one.

 

Anyways, I didn't get very much from others.  Not really what it is about for me anyways.  I much rather give because I like the feeling and love seeing the happiness.

 

So in the spirit of giving, I even gave myself a present this year, a Sony surround sound home theater with dvd.  Awsome gift this year.  Spent a couple of hours setting it up, drilling holes in the walls for the cables and speaker mounts.  Watched Black Hawk Down and you would swear that the war was right there in the room.

I am just glad I don't have a girlfriend right now to spend money on because I spent all the money I had on my family and 1 other friend.

 

My favorite gift was the Escort Passport 8500 Radar Detector.  I've been asking for one for 3 years (including Birthdays) and I finally got it.  This thing is better than the Valentine 1 and has a s**t load of features.  Time to plug it in and drive around really fast

 

I also got a really cool license plate to go up front.  It's dark blue with yellow and orange flames.  I'll try to post a pic if we ever get a new digital camera (Alamo Car Rental stole ours).

My Best Gift was Spending the time With my Son and just seeing his eyes light up with every gift he opened...

 

 But I also got some Grizzly double bend nerf bars, and also a Lund lunar visor.. the bars are on and the visor is in getting painted...

My best gift was the smiles on the kids faces when they came downstairs on Christmas morning.

I know what you mean. :thumb: :thumb: If it weren't for the kids, Xmas wouldn't be much for me. My kids were wound tight all day!

Not to be cheesy, but to be honest it was when I saw my g/f face when she opened up her diamond stud earrings.

 

This is also gonna sound cheesy but at midnight mass looking over and seeing my gf singing oh come all yee faithful and joy to the world.  Never realized how wonderful her voice sounded.

 

As for actual wrapped gifts it would have to be the helms manuals which i bought (mom and grandma paid for).  

 

Another great gift was all the snow (but not the salt   )
