Uh, gee, I...didn't really keep tabs on what I got and I didn't get...too caught in the moment, I guess...and now that I've put it all away, I swear I'm going to be forgetting a few things...

But let's see...

-Ice and snow grip thingies that you can put over your shoes, I guess so you can turn every pair you wear into snow shoes. I'll have to try them out on my Sunday shoes, seeing that I walk to church...
-Two Hankerchiefs that my younger sister helped my mom to make, reportedly...
-Various clothing articles, like socks, underwear...
-Battery powered alarm clock
-Bike lock for a used bike I obtained 'bout a month ago
-Various candy
-"Rakkety Tam", a book.
-"The Dimwit's Dictionary", a dictionary that lists out overused terms when writing, and should prove useful for my own writing.
-A Star Trek Original Series communicator key chain that actually chirps when you open it, among other things. Added it to my collection of Star Trek memorabilia.
-An electric razor, as I figured shaving with that would be faster and more convenient than with a regular razor.
-And a few other more practical items that my parents have given me, looking out for my future as they always are. :)
-Also want to mention that while this gift went to the whole family and not just me, we also got a few movies, including "Star Trek".  8) Which I've already watched. Again. :P

I think that's everything. If not, I probably covered it in one of those generalizations in that list. :P

Got them a Wii, ay?  Nice.  Our 11-year old saved his paper route money and bought his own Wii a couple weeks ago.  Now nobody asks me why we don't have one.  ;)

I actually did quite well this year, especially if I include what I was given at work.

- 5 bags (12.6 oz) of M&Ms (variety of Dark or Milk Chocolate, Peanut and regular)
- 2 M&Ms dispensers (M&M Military Vehicle (example link (http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_033W012870620001P?keyword=m%26m)), Nutcracker (2009 Limited Edition, lousy pic example link (http://mmcollectorscorner.com/63119-2009-official-le-mm-s-holiday-red-nutcracker-dispenser-.html))
- Hickory Farms Beef Summer Sausage  (add some Sweet Hot Mustard)
- New socks
- New pajamas (custom made by the loving wife)
- SanDisk Sansa Clip 1gb MP3 player (Link to an example (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VIHFZ4/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000BP50AY&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0P4QKFHQ5Y29DD93GNTJ))
- DueNorth Everyday Traction Aids (Link to an example (http://www.shoebuy.com/duenorth-everyday-traction-aid/346148/737180?cm_mmc=frooglelist-_-none-_-none-_-none))
- Dark Chocolate Orange
- A Star Trek (STOS) keychain communicator (small, on a keychain) just like Scyphi's
- A leather bound copy of "Jesus The Christ" (info link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_the_Christ_%28book%29), in depth study of the life of Christ)
- HP Color LaserJet CP2025n printer (info link (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06b/18972-18972-3328060-15077-236268-3673580-3673584-3673586.html), this a gift from work  8))

The Family got a couple games, a couple movies ("Star Trek" which Scyphi already mentioned, and also Disney/Pixar's "Up"), some orange sticks, and some chocolate covered mints.

I realized I left two things off my list.

- "Star Trek" paperback novelization of the new movie
- A new winter coat (actually a pretty nice one for the price)

Agreed on Metroid, that's one of their favorites on the DS. Not sure which version of metroid they have.

XD @ the pic!

The only versions for Metroid for the DS would be the highly not acclaimed Metroid Prime Pinball and Metroid Prime Hunters. I love Hunters!

I'll start with what I gave to my family first.


Everyone in my family likes the gifts I gave them; I haven't returned a gift to the store because someone didn't want it in over 4 years. I'm the youngest in my family. On the other hand, I received some awesome gifts and am glad I have them.

I received:


Most of the tools are for college. I have yet to get a crimper, a bag, and to pack the rest of my stuff for moving. I move on campus the 4th of January.
