    Nice! That's a great gift. My family is so non-attentive about sports stuff... I didn't get any NBA themed gifts.

    But they did hear my plea about HD and my lack of it ;)

    First off, Congrats Dave2000. As a parent of two girls ( one 2.2 years old and the other 6 weeks) nothing makes me happier when I see my sister or my wife's siblings express their love for their nieces. It really is special.

    As for Christmas, like DD mentioned, it really was all about my 2 year old. The newborn obviously does not know what was is going on. I did however get one gift from the wife.

    A 27 game plan for my beloved Houston Astros. I had been a season ticket holder since 2004 but had given them up last year because of the kids and stuff. So needless to say, I am pretty stoked. My wife always says I have 4 children, my 2 daughters plus the Rockets and Astros.

    very pleasant christmas for me. at the risk of being redundant, trite, and hypocritical (not a christian), nothing beats the gift of time with loved ones this time of year. i hope everyone enjoyed theirs as much as i did mine.

    I go to school in Colorado where barbecue is terrible (food in general actually). I don't think it was a real serious gift, but it will actually be very useful to me.

    Well... lots of room at this game now that Yao's broken foot cleared all of my fellow Chinese out of the arena and no one else really care about the Nets (or the Rockets). :) I wonder if they'll still have dragon dance, free dim sum if Nets score 100 pts, or some other stereo-typically Asian stuff at the game.

    My favorite gift was wool socks; I love wool socks. I got a sports coat, a watch, an expensive shirt, sweater, etc., but, those socks, they feel soooo good. But the best gift of all was watching my baby grand daughter open her gifts. She is the most precious gift of all!

    I did very well, nothing exciting but all very helpful.

    - Got a bunch of new appliances and other things for the house(we just moved into one twice the size of our old place so lots of space to fill)
    - $300 worth of vouchers from my mother and aunt for a local hardware store which I am excited about spending already
    - Some stuff for my IPhone, like car kit and dock.
    - Then way too much chocolate and sweets which I will have to try and give away at work!
