    What was your Christmas haul?

    Obviously Christmas is about more than the gifts, but to be 2:00 PM with no threads like this is a bit crazy (in comparison to past years.) Hopefully you're enjoying your family and your new stuff though. Anywho, what did you all get?

    I have to go down for dinner in a couple of minutes so I'll just post what I am very excited about.

    Playstation 3 (It's true that I knew I was getting it as I scored our system, but since my parents decided to pay for it and it was for me and my brother, I had to wait til today.)
    Curb Your Enthusiasm book (Larry David for the win.)
    Pirates of the Caribbean 2 DVD
    Scarface for the PS2
    James' Historical Baseball Abstract (I lost my original copy a few years ago just like a week after I got it.)
    "Save the cheerleader..." shirt.
    Urban Yeti for the GBA (I've been wanting this for years.)
    Little Miss Sunshine DVD
    A new supersoft feather pillow.

    About five or six other baseball books I really wanted and a bunch of clothes and other small miscellaneous type goodies. But those are the highlights. No cash or gift certificates which I am actually happy about because I appreciate the effort that goes into a gift.

    Santa Claus is Coming to Town
    Charlie Brown Trilogy

    Games:
    Nintendo DS
    Psychonauts (Early)
    Madden 2007 (I will upload my beast QB from the Rutgers dynasty to Madden)
    Halo 2
    New Super Mario Bros.
    Yoshi Island DS

    60 dollars cash (+45 from Scratch Tickets)
    Lightup Calculator (a normal, so you can tell if you pressed multiplication or addition and so on)
    Mini-Flashlight (sounds less cool than it is)
    Couple pairs of pants

    OK, I didn't realize how much I got. Damn. But that's most of it. Of course, there's the candy and such, and some other stuff that I KNOW I'm forgetting, but damn.

    How can you get Viva Pinata but no Pimp My Ride? Get your priorities in what you ask for right, nick. Pimp My Ride > Viva Pinata.

    To put it simply, I got a lot of money and clothes.
    "They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett
