OFFICIAL: What did you get for Christmas???

[jsbush]

I got a 20ozer for rum from a good friend, a remote car starter from my dad, money from my mother, and chocolates from other friends.

 

[Nocturnal]

I got a Craftsman air compressor about a few months ago early for Christmas from my girlfriend. Other then that I don't have anything. I'll probably get like $100.00 in cash and that's about it. You guys are so lucky who get so much stuff.

Praise the lord.

well the digital ones aren't really meant for measuring disc rotor thickness.... more for inner and outer diameters of objects. mechanical engineering sort of thing. i've got a couple of those... extras i took from my dad's company

I'm 29 years old and got a platinum gamecube from my parents. (My mom doesn't believe in buying responsible gifts. I sure do love good ol' mom!) It was more a gift for my whole family but seeing how my sons only 22 months old and my wife has no interest in it, it was really just for me.

On top of that I got:

a shaved ice maker
2 bags of beef jerky
some tools
a scratch off game ticket worth $2
some other small things

 

[lilFajita]

$233 worth of bedding items for my mother

50 Dutchmaster Cigars
Various Clothes, Ornaments, Cat Toys



I received:

$770 Cash ($500 of it is coming in February)
$40 Gift Certificate to a local restaurant
2.2" Hand Held RCA Color TV
Winter Coat
2400 Pages of Printer Paper
HP 78 Color Ink Cartridge

:Q Dutchmasters!?!?!?! Those are some godawful tasting cigars man. There's only two times I know when people smoke a Dutch:
A) Pretty drunk and cant taste the flavor
B) When something besides tobacco is inside of it

Gets me thinking on starting a thread about what kinda cigars people smoke

Do you know any sites online that sell bulk packs of quality cigars? I was just thinking about this earlier.

Hey man, I can't help what people like. My grandfather is old and cheap (a popular combination) and that is what he loves. He only uses them when playing golf and doing yard work, if he had said another brand, he would have received them.
