I built my parents a much needed new computer, got my sister an IMac, and my other sister a new camera. For me there was Pocky, a new downhill bike, zombie survival guide, and a 120mm hole saw.

Probably my biggest surprise of the day. Only 2 of these exist in the whole world.

Wife got me Brutal Legend and GTA Liberty City stories, along with a wireless earpiece for the xbox 360 - plus a couple big dog sweaters/t's and a book by Jeremy Clarkson... Video games, abusive clothing ("I'd like to help but I can't fix stupid" and "I just farted, you should run now") and a book by a motor head - I think the wife thinks I'm a blokely bloke :D

And in a nice change from the normal - zero bathroom products, zero socks, zero underwear heh

SgtM- That is crazy nice man! Love to see what you end up doing with it!


I got a Pantera shirt, and $15 from one Sister. A Electric Razor from the other (Is she trying to tell me something?), my parents gave me money, and candy. And of course a good dinner!

After that I left for my Girlfriends uncles house to meet her. My next gift was seeing her face when she read the card I gave her, and then the gift of her face when she opened the NES I got her. To add the icing to the cake she got me Doom for the SNES, and a kiss.

I couldn't be happier about my Christmas!

now christmas is not something i usually prefer to celebrate... but this year i enjoyed it quite a bit.. i got a new belt, socks, boxers and $100 for zellers (think canadian wallmart)
which i intend to use for clothes. (and b4 ya think i got gipped... i asked for those :) ) but the best gift of all? being accept into my fiances family for such an event, meant the most for me. my family r not the type u even wish to talk to (ive lived on my own since i was 15 for a reason), so i tend to avoid family oriented things. but this year, it felt right... and that in my opinion is the best gift i could ever receive...

PS her mom can COOK!!!!

Got new wheels, crank, and various other small parts for my bike, which is now fully converted into a fixed gear. I also got lots of small, random electronics parts, like LED's, a 2" diameter light up push button, and other stuff like that.

Finished bike:

LOL.. fixies.. ;)

I dont understand the appeal of a bike that you can't freewheel. If I'm coasting, I dont want to pedal.

That's what I thought before I rode one also. You have much more control over the bike, they are really fun to ride, and the bike is so much simpler. Lots of people take the brakes off completely and do "skid stops" where you lock your legs and stop like that, but they're crazy :P

@985323

LOL, your bike is pretty much the exact opposite of mine

(pretty much rode it into the ground)

That bikes been down the side of Mount Washington in the summer LOL and countless other places up in new england.

But the way it was geared, you could barely peddle it on a flat surface..so here in oklahoma...there was about zero places to ride it...and i just never got around to fixing it.

But had a Fox Vanilla RC 5" gas coil over in the back, with 4 link suspension, NOLEEN Chubby DH forks (7" travel) Gazollodi 3.25" front and a Michelin 2.75" rear, Shimano XLT 27 speed with Deore Levers, Sun 26" front and a Sun 24" rear (when it was all together, some parts are missin' from that pic)


I didn't get much for X-mas myself (all for the kiddo) but i got a new pistol, a 3-9 x 50mm Scope with a RWS lockdown 1" mount for my rifle, and some various stuff like socks and T-shirts.

[edit] haha i've been clocked doing 49.3Mph on that bicycle.
