Okay spill it, what did Santa bring you, and/or what did you give someone else? Post what it was, with pics if you have them.

One thing I got was a new watch from my little girl (she's 10 months old):





TAG Carrera MP4-12C. I'm still trying to figure out how she ordered it. :wink: Also, it's not genuine, but it's very well made. Looks, runs, functions, and feels like the real thing, even down to the authentic sapphire crystal. Remarkable, and a little scary. The cat doesn't get out of the bag until you see the box and the back; the box being too plain and the back being stainless instead of titanium. I asked my wife, "you know that's a replica, right?" and she said, "I assumed so when it was only 1/14th of the MSRP." LOL! :D

A fair bit since I dont celebrate Christmas.
 
My portable rig was finally completed on the 24th as I received my JH16 with Whiplash Twag to go with an iBasso PB2/DB2 combo.
 
Ordered a Stax SRS-002 off ebay as no one else seems to have it at the moment.
 
Finally these beauties, to be paired with a Rotel RB1510 or a vintage Sansui. Delivery in February 2013.

- Kevin Mitnick's autobiography
- "Light and Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page"
- "The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs" (wonder when they'll realize I don't like him)
- perfumes
- a big wooden sign (think about the old signs you might see in movies, like a bar/pub sign in size) saying "Always look on the bright side of life"

So, my watch in the OP has already died. LOL! The dude my wife got it from is giving us a replacement. Moral: you get what you pay for. Seriously.
