Ha! We've got that on a christams compilation we listen to every year.
Merry Xmas Billy. My youngest daughter just got a tea set for Christmas so she won't have to steal your netty pot.

As for us, I did get my wife that Macbook Pro that I sold a bunch of games to help finance. $2500. Fortunately, it's a huge tax write-off since she uses it for business. She didn't get anything else.
But my wife is notoriously bad about getting me stuff that for whatever reason we wind returning the day after Christmas. Every year. Wrong size, wrong cut, wrong thing, wrong color, wrong everything. This year she hit it out of the park.
The main gift is a session at Atlanta Motor Speedway including racing classes and a full-on 8 lap race ("passing allowed"). I am fucking STOKED. "You've been playing that car game a lot"...she's noticed GRAN TURISMO 5 in the PS3 every time she puts in one of River's DVDs and I'm all the time talking about Maseratis and Aston Martins we see around town. So she picked one of the most unexpected and exciting things I've ever gotten.
But she also got me some little things that were awesome-
- Some fine single-source chocolates
- A really high-end modern wallet made from recycled plastics
- Nonleather belt that looks GOOD and may actually last for more than a month (Vegans know these are stupidly hard to come by)
- A book called "Destroy All Movies" that catalogs almost every appearance by a punk or new waver in a motion picture- everything from SUBURBIA and the films of Nick Zedd to STAR TREK IV and THE TERMINATOR is in there- awesome poster artwork throughout
- A book from Popular Science magazine about all of this future technology...that never came to pass
No games.
So yeah, we had a good one...hope all of you guys did as well!
Oh- and thanks Ken B. for making this a proper Southern Christmas greeting!
One more thing- a great, forgotten Christmas song to add to Jeff's is "Dead By Christmas", Hanoi Rocks.

FWIW, my Christmas highlight was consoling my significant other when her family insulted her and teased her at the table, resulting in a huge blow up. I swear to god I am just going to do next Christmas alone with her without family and a bottle of scotch next year.

I spent most of the day cooking a big fuck off rib of quality beef which I and my wife scoffed down later on with the old Christmas pudding and (illegal) brandy butter. Washed down with two pints of illegally distilled Gin and Tonic. Yay for Christmas in Kuwait!!
Today is eating illegal bacon and sausage day....mmmmm you only miss it when its illegal to have it....
A big gaming day Christmas dinner on 28th when it will probably be a drunken go at BSG (as it is easy to play when pissed up). Might bring Summoner Wars for some light relief...
Have a great holiday....hope to catch up with as many of you as possible at WBC in the summer.

I finally got Chaos In The Old World which I'm looking forward to playing. I was looking through the pieces in my bed, and woke up to find I had accidentally slept on a Slaanesh cultist, which amused me.
Barnes I almost felt like you did when my son got a little guitar (real, six strings) so he could play with me. I'm just far too manly to tear up, of course. (Man, this room is dusty…)
Many a light saber duel was had, as I got myself the Darth Vader Force FX saber, my cousin the blue Anakin one, and my son the much more "kiddie" General Grievous blades. My dad actually knows how to fence, so he beat my ass even with one of the kiddie blades against mine with twice the reach.
We played a hilarious 7 player session of Eat Poop You Cat. Haven't seen my dad laugh that hard in ages...
And now we're being buried in snow.

On Christmas morning she got up and was excited about the toys Santa provided, and then she saw the plate of treats she had left out for Santa, which now had crumbs and a stump of a carrot on it and exclaimed "He is real! I thought it might be just the two of you putting out presents, but this is proof he is real."
Now I am just stumped. I want to know why she doesn't think it could be just her parents eating the treats, but then I don't want to mess with her belief system, so I have to remain mute. My theory is that it is because of the carrot, as she can't see why a rational person would eat a raw carrot on Christmas Eve.

My son received light sabers and nerf guns for Christmas, and I was more excited about the gift giving this year than I have since I was about his age.
