    Default What was your favorite gift this Christmas

    Hi, I didnt see a thread for this yet so I thought I would ask: WHat was your favorite gift you received over the Holidays? (If you dont celebrate, then what was your favorite gift ever?)

    This Christmas I have a toss up between 3: The Dark Knight dvd, Suns/Cav's Tickets, and an 8 gig iPod that doesnt work on my pc cause I dont have windows xp or vista
    I cant think of anything good to say in my signature

    Well, I didn't get a Dark Knight DVD for Christmas, I got it the week before. What I did get was a Gotham Knight DVD.

    My favorite gift though was probably the Ice Cream machine (the cool gigantic ones that require actual ice, not the mini ones with coolant) and accompanying Ice Cream recipe book. Mmmmmm. Homemade Ice Cream, and you can't have any.

    As good as TDK is, it can never compare with an Ice Cream Machine! Never! Or, even better, eat your homemade Ice Cream, while watching TDK.

    Probably a book:

    George Selgin's "Good Money: Birmingham Buttonmakers, the Royal Mint, and the Beginnings of Modern Coinage, 1775-1821"

    It's about how Gresham's Law doesn't apply when people have the choice of which means of exchange to use and... No, it's really good. It has all these great anecdotes about just what sneaky, skullduggerous rogues the great figures of the Industrial Revolution actually were...

    Shut up! Don't judge me!

    (I'm also happily humming at WallE on DVD )

    Holy cow Oregano, that's enormous!

    Probably my favorite gift was a copy of The King of Things and the Cranberry Clown by John Callahan, which is a much deeper book than it appears to be on the surface. My GF found a copy online which was as good as new (it's been out of print for ages)! That and my new 16gb iPod (which I can't use because I need to update iTunes to v8.0)

    Beguiler, you just got served.

    Either the Necronomicon (collection of some Lovecraft stories) or Spore. Can't get the latter to work though, unfortunately.

    Bah, Lovecraft wins either way, Troll.

    If you're into him, this was a fantastic buy for me. I got it at Borders.

    Oooo...Just looked up what Necronomicon you were talking about, and nevermind, that's probably got more in it than mine, though mine is probably a bit less cumbersome for travel purposes... :/

    My favorite gift this christmas was a new tv (it cost about 4000Sek (Sek means swedish coins(i think 1$ is about 10Sek)))

    but i also likes the movies i got, i got 17 different horror movies.

    (12 of the horror movies was bought in something called a bodybag so i think it didnt cost close to as much as it would if they bought them one at a time).

    Spore. It is so amazing. The reviews didn't really do the game justice; it just gets better as you go on.

    My new digital camera.

    The old one sucked (it had a broken switch on top of the fact that it's older than I am), and this one's beautiful.

    I also liked that I got Juno on DVD, $30 cash, and a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card.

    And then my brother got Dark Knight on DVD.

    My favorite present is probably the new camera (which I got to choose myself today), but there's nothing wrong with the others, either, such as the Forgotten Realms Player's Guide, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Night of the Dragon.

    Twelve-pack of Mini-Cons. I love those wacky Mini-Cons, with their crazy over- or under-sized feet, balance issues, and tiny tiny articulation.

    All the Lego was nice, too. But it's not Mini-Cons.
