Get any cool Christmas presents?

[csbrewfisher]

I hope everyone had a blessed day spent with loved ones, and that you'll have fond memories of the day for a long time to come. Hopefully you were able to enjoy a really good cigar too.

Aside from that, did you get any really cool presents? What was your favorite?

Sony BluRay home theater from the folks.
also got some great Kona coffee from Hawaii from the wife, and she had them include a Hawaiian cigar in a wooden tubo! Kinda cool, but for the price she paid for that stick I could have had a CC cohiba

[awsmith4]

I got an electric flyswatter :tu

I got some other stuff too but that was just funny and awesome

[Mugen910]

sweatshirts...$...plug-in heated travel mug... :tu

[jjirons69]

Bought the wife and myself a Blu-ray player and a handful of movies. She crashed her van so she got a new front end for Christmas.

Had a blast with my kids and both sides of our extended families are all doing well. Couldn't be much more blessed.

I love the positive vibes from this man! :tu


Oh and not really gift but I enjoyed it very much...the cousins and I played Rock Band for a bit Xmas day and then Team Scrabble! :tu

Thought I'd chime in...

Mrs. Brew had a remote starter installed in my car...work's up to 1000 ft. That was my favorite.

The in-laws gave us a Garmin Nuvi, nice.

A car starter is always good in cold climates...

I got some great stuff from SS too..so I really had a nice Xmas.

Have you seen those really cool looking glasses in the Samuel Adams commercials?

I now have a set of them and they are great.

[markem]

Got a Vinturi - amazing what it does for even very good wine

Dunno about anything else, Secret Santa gifts from three different boards are still "en route" since the UPS truck refuses to come up our tiny hill and when I go in for an arranged will call pickup, they tell me it is out on the truck.

It's a law that we Massholes have them in our kitchen. :r

My kid got Guitar Hero III and Guitar hero Aerosmith. I'm addicted to both.

[GWN]

My folks gave me an awesome antique cigar ashtray for my collection.
Been looking for one of these for awhile, but often the marble is cracked, chipped, etc. This one is mint and the ashtray is cut for cigars rather than cigarettes, like so many others.

That ashtray is awesome :tu

I got some shirts I've been wanting :)

[AD720]

I started asking for this back in September. :D I can't wait to start drilling things...

I also got a nice suede jacket and a couple shirts, a handful of cigars and some Scotch. My family really knows me well. :D

[Don Fernando]

I bought myself a new phone, a Samsung G600. I hardly ever use my mobile phone because I have a company phone, but my old private phone doesn't have bluetooth and I have a nice bluetooth headset, so I needed to get a new private phone with blootooth as I am driving a lot. Calling handheld can cost me 170 EUR if I get caught by the police.

[Starscream]

I got tickets to see the Cincinnati Reds play an exhibition game down here in NC on April 3rd. I received 4 tickets so I can take my wife and two of the kids.

[BirdDok]

Well, aside from the Monte El Conde tube and RyJ Reserva Real gran toro, I got from my brother-in-law, my kids got me a snow blower. They must have figured that it was worth the investment since THEY would have to shovel the snow if IU had a heart attack.... the only problem is that in the Philly suburbs, getting a snow blower means the rest of the winter will be 38oF and rainy....:r:r:r

[pearson]

I got a Vltor VIS

2 opus power rangers

and a Volvo flag

it was a good christmas.

[SeanGAR]

My folks gave me an awesome antique cigar ashtray for my collection.

Ha .. that is awesome .. and the spitting image of the one my parents had when I was growing up.

I got a nice red plaid shirt and some jeans ... so I can dress like a Canadian again.

[alfbacca]

The last gift I opened came from my future mother in law, and I never expected to get it. It's a first edition print of an out of print book titled "The Smoking Gods" about how tobacco played a huge role in Mayan art, history and religion. It also explores the different tobacco gods and the roles they had in Mayan civilization. I'm not much of a historian or anything but I love tobacco and I love learning about ancient cultures.

Since I spend all my time in the garage guess they figured I needed some more toys :r

The twins got me a new "ugly" Hawaiian shirt, I wear them just to embarrass them in public ;)

The wife and I don't buy for one another, we take the money we would spend on each other and take a vacation to the beach each year.

Oh yea, got a bottle of Chivas Regal 12 Year Old Scotch whiskey and an 18 Year Old :al

Sorry to hear about the accident but glad everybody's ok!

Well, aside from finding out on Xmas Eve that mrsreindeer is pregnant after a pretty stressful and drawn out IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) process, mrsreindeer and the inlaws really outdid themselves.

The inlaws got me a Blu-ray DVD-player and an ultra-premium 5-er of some damn fine smokes and one of my favorite gifts from mrsreindeer was this : http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/9023/index.php so now I can monitor temp & humidity in 3 different areas of the Vino! She did her homework! My Dad has started painting and he visited us a couple weeks back and gave us an awesome painting he did; love that too!

[n3uka]

Maybe not cool but it definately was strange.

I was given an underarmour shirt. If you have ever seen me you will know why I say strange. I think in most states it would be illegal for me to wear one. :r

Bought myself a Dell mini9 that I have been playing with and got some great cigars from SS.

[ChasDen]

The wife or the 18 yr old?

:r :D :r :D :r

[shilala]

I got an MRN Encyclopedia and a little tiny remote control helicopter.
They're both SWEET!!!

[Opusfxd]

The gf gave me an iPod shuffle which fits right into the waterproof case/earphones my folks got me for swimming.

[BroncoHorvath]

I got a beautiful electric fireplace for my office, new winter boots, some clothes from my fiancé, and I got a few cigar collection boxes including a box of 01 HDM Churchills from my best friend...
