Just curious to know what other Head-Fi'ers got for the holidays. I got a couple pairs of jeans, some great CDs, a nice flyfishing vest and net, and a Moki Bird and Trout knife.
 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

A cruise, along with the rest of the family. :D. We're going to the Mexican Riviera next week. I don't think I'll get anything material, though I'm going to buy myself a nice 10k stepped attenuator for one of my upcoming builds.

I gave an iPad to my sister's family and got my parents a new flatscreen for their bedroom.

I got my Grado 325i's, Dexter seasons 1-4, couple other BluRays, 13 Shades of Blue CD, some clothes, new Littmann stethoscope, kitchen goodies, and a few various odds and ends. Gave my fiancee an iPod Touch plus clothes and some other stuff. My kids got way more stuff than they needed. It was a good Christmas...no complaints here other than being dog tired.

Mostly D&D related stuff here. I got a matching set of 24 chrome D6s for rolling character stats (with a custom embroidered dice bag to go with). Very shiny.

Have a great Time on your cruise, UE..... It does feel better to give then receive.....(I can say that because I got My HD-800's last week, yes!)

 I did get the wife some perfume and money for a complete outfit.(We won't count the complete Master Bath upgrade). My step son, up from NC got clothes etc, but his favorite gift was Cash$$ He's saving for a Les Paul to go with his Strat.....Both sets of Parents got a great meal, here and goodies...what do you buy folks in their 80's???  Anyway, as many have stated, your family being together is the best.......Although my son was the only one who shared my lust and joy for the new set of cans.......Thanks to Bubu1 for help convincing me, with his HD-800's that they would be my next headphone choice....Happy New Year Guys.........PEACE

Nice. I wish folks around here still played D&D. I miss it.

I got a webcam, a bunch of Packers stuff (I have to try to represent when I'm away at college), a lot of nice wool socks (a necessity), and a new phone! I also got the gift of watching my family play Just Dance on the Wii, a supremely entertaining activity.

Top of the heap was a Pentax K-x, DSLR and lens to replace a decade old Olympus point and shoot. Also got two different books about Stanley Kubrick (my co-favourite director), The Cubs Fan's Guide To Happiness (it's a humour book), and a Family Guy DVD.
