    What did you get for Christmas??

    My son and I got an air hockey table! We have all been playing that a bunch.

    I also got the full set of Star Wars movies. Its been a Star Wars geekfest at my house. I have watched 1-4 so far. My kids also got the Star Wars lego games for the computer.

    Ohh yeah. My kids favorite gift was our 3 year old Cairn Terrier. We got her a few weeks before Christmas.

    New helmet, harness, some biners and rings. Bunch o' stuff for my Possibles bag.

    Subscriptions to Scientific American, National Geographic, JP Magazine and Backpacker.

    Gift cards for MEC (like REI for Canadians).

    Books: The Ancestor's Tale (Dawkins), The Demon Haunted World (Sagan), How The Mind Works (Pinker).

    T-shirt, chocolate, etc.

    And a week before Christmas, new Gale Banks Torque Tube stainless exhaust header for the Jeep. Not really a gift, but I couldn't handle the noise anymore, so gave myself the gift of quiet.

    Oh, Demon Haunted World!!! I love that book! In a very real way that book changed the way I look at the world. Everything else seems pretty nice too!


    Santa brought a bunch of Legos for E (for me he left enough time to play with them with E). He also brought us an Xbox360 that E just loves (he's happy about the Star Wars Lego game but loves the new Indiana Jones Lego game). He's not really happy about not taking it to his mom's place but it is for both of us...

    I spent a gift card from my mom on groceries for freeze fest!!

    The wife and I generally shop for things that we can each use together like the new HD TV, Blu-Ray DVD, etc.

    Without a doubt though, the best gift I could ever receive is the love of my wife.

I got a few good movies - X-Men Wolverine, Get Smart, a couple cd's - Muse - , a JVC camcorder and a Bose SoundDock10. That thing ROCKS! I got lots really... I have a big family.
    .....OH, I almost forgot! My son Drew proposed to his girlfriend. She said yes on Christmas Day so I got a new(almost) daughter-in-law! She's so cool....

    I got a book called Backyard Ballistics: Build Potato Cannons, Paper Match Rockets, Cincinnati Fire Kites, Tennis Ball Mortars, and More Dynamite Devices, a Utah Recreation Atlas, and with various money amounts I received, I'm buying a hunting knife, probably a Fallkniven F1.

    Mrs. Santa brought me the book. I'd better use it. Now if you know how to build one of those pumpkin cannons, I'm all ears.
