Well I guess you could say the PS3 was a Christmas gift and so was the Blu-Ray player for the computer, but i got them both before hand :)

MOVIES!! Had to add to my collection! I want to be over 1000 dvd/blu-ray sets before the end of 2009 (over 700 sets with the ones i just got - over 1000 individual dvds)
$25 best buy gift card - might get a bluetooth headset from there for use on the ps3
$150 walmart gift cards
peanuts (I hate being older :p - better than ties I guess..lol)

then just assorted little things.

hope everyone had a good one!

Mike

Now dont get too drunk on new years eve ;) :drinkers:

Logitech Harmony 670 remote (that is acting like a brick right now... going to be on the phone with Support tonight... yay :( )
A few Wii games (Amy got Wii Fit)
A couple Blue-Rays
A wicked Ping-Pong paddle

And since an order from Target never arrived, my dad was able to cancel the order and he is going to get me a Blue-Ray/HD-DVD ROM, DVD Burner combo drive for my HTPC :drinkers:

It was fun watching our 13-month son figure out how to rip off the wrapping paper! He couldn't figure it out for his 1st birthday a month ago, but he figured it out for christmas!... And of course he made out with the most presents this year! :)

I told my mom I wanted a hard drive, she said "order it and I will pay you back."

So, I picked up a WD Caviar Black 750GB. I got an "equal measure" measuring cup from ThinkGeek.com in a white elephant exchange (I broke this while unpacking the car :x ).
Otherwise, I have just gotten cash ( I love cash).

We haven't done our official family exchange yet. That is this weekend.

swing by your friendly (or not) neighborhood Walmart. I picked up my Curve for $31 out the door, when the AT&T store across the street wanted $179. Only downfall I find with buying phones is that most of the time, the associates have no real clue what you need, and this was even more evident with the Blackberry. Know what you want when you walk in, and you should be out in 1/2 hour money ahead.

Did you get the Logitech sorted? I had TERRIBLE trouble updating mine with the latest software from Logitech. When it said a "few minutes" a more apt description would have been a "few hours". I finally ended up leaving it in update status and came back 2 hours later and it was done.
