    Time to once again start this thread because I know many families exchange presents on Christmas Eve. We do ours tomorrow, but my girl and I went ahead and exchanged today. She got me the HD-DVD player for my 360. I bought the Bourne Supremacy today to check it out and it looks freaking sweet!

    So what'd you get? Merry Christmas!

    We don't exchange gifts in my family - stopped doing it once the last of my siblings turned 21.

    I did a lot of giving instead of receiving.



    I like to see the expression on people's face. (or someone particular) That's good enough for me.

    I got my friend that Mariah Carey fragrance. She damn near broke my neck.

    I hate buying presents. I never know what to buy or what would the other person like. So I usually buy some gift cards or something but that's like a cop out, imo. The irony is that most people I know are the same way and couldn't care less. I don't know why I do.

    What did I get? A box of chocolates from a neighbor. I'm abroad and don't really know anyone here.

    I might get a few other things, but this is pretty much it:

    $200
    3 Arkansas Razorbacks Tshirts
    Arkansas razorbacks rug/doormat
    Arkansas razorbacks gym shorts
    hiking boots
    some polo shirt
    some dress shirt
    a kodak digital camera/memory card
    University of Arkansas men's hoops season tickets
    $50 Target card
    $50 wal mart card
    one of those little automatic massage thingies
    some electric duster tool
    some plastic cups
    socks

    Oh yeah, also, a couple days before Christmas I went down to the casinos in Shreveport and various people gave me about $500 while I played poker. :D

    I have an uncle that can be really crazy with presents, like one year he might give me $500 bucks and the next year $25 bucks (or nothing). I don't know if he'll do anything for me or not this year...but I'm not counting on getting anything from him this year.

    Probably won't get much this year as the parents focus more on the grandchildren each and every year. So far, I've only exchanged gifts with the girl and she got me a nice dress shirt, an awesome Rockets beer mug (not bad from a Spurs fan!) and a few pictures of us in nice frames since I mentioned I wanted that for my desk. This is going to sound cheesy and I'm sure I'll catch some flack for it on a BBS dominated by guys, but my ultimate Christmas present has been the girl who gave me those things. I never in a million years thought that an Aggie, Spurs and Cowboys fan would be the best thing to ever happen to me, but God loves to throw us curveballs sometimes. :D

    Merry Christmas everyone. If yours is half as great as mine, consider yourself lucky!
