Title: Christmas 2012 Haul Thread Post by: bob on December 25, 2012, 11:21:26 AM We had a thread on what we were giving so I figured why not, and made one for what everyone got this year.
Here's what I got so far from my parents and my brother. $350 in checks 2 jars of salsa Framed picture of my mom Sweat pants 1 t-shirt Charles Woodson Christmas tree ornament WWE 13 X-Box $50 in gas cards Limited Collector's Edition Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy on bluray Notice I said so far. That's because my family is hosting the family get together later today and my immediate family swaps what we got each other earlier in the day before everyone comes over.

New glasses AAA Membership Watch Complete run of "National Lampoon" on DVD-rom "Cult Movies 2" by Danny Peary "150 Movies You Should Die Before You See" "Lint" by Steve Aylett A strange painting of King Kong, a giant robot, and various farm animals watching a movie at a drive-in No movies (?) Title: Re: Christmas 2012 Haul Thread Post by: claws on December 26, 2012, 02:53:19 AM Several gift certificates for local stores
Cash Assorted chocolates (including limited white Ferrero's. They are hard to track down in these parts) Assorted imported spices (mostly stuff I requested for exotic dishes I'm trying to cook soon) Home made jams in nice jars Soft pâtés and other delicious sounding spreads, also in nice jars No doubt the best X-mas present I got this year: huge fresh loaf of a specific farmer's bread. This crusty rustic bread is very special and baked in an outdoors stone oven by a woman from a small rural village. She doesn't own a bakery/store but sells the bread "private" after you make an order. She only baked a few over Christmas so I was lucky I got one. The bread is simply f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c. But I fear the quality will diminish if that woman ever decides to open for official business. Can't beat food gifts, especially when your niece's fiance happens to be a chef cook.

Title: Re: Christmas 2012 Haul Thread Post by: Jack on December 26, 2012, 07:37:53 AM I got some video games: Mass Effect 3, Binary domain and Dragon's Dogma.
Some dress clothes for work. Including some shoes that are a bit too stylish for stodgy old me - they'll be worn once and then discreetly make their way to the back of the closet I think. :smile: Big present was supposed to be a TV for our bedroom, but I was sick with a terrible cold for the second half of November and my wife bought it as a cheer-me-up present way back then. Best part was seeing her come in the house with it - this huge box with two little feet visible underneath and a blond ponytail sticking up over the top :bouncegiggle: Anyhow I've been loving that. Though it's so comfy watching movies on the bed that it's terribly hard to stay awake all the way to the end of this junk I watch :smile: Title: Re: Christmas 2012 Haul Thread Post by: The Burgomaster on December 26, 2012, 08:25:55 AM New phone: SAMSUNG GALAXY 3
