What did you get for Christmas?

[U of I Tweak]

One bowl of hot Mac and Cheese with one can of fresh Tuna mixed in, and salt-n-pepper to taste.

I was going to go that route....but Hooters was still open....hot wings for me.

88_Malibu,
Is the wire you got the new module from Bose? If so, when did you order that thing? I ordered it in late August and now they're saying I'll get it in March 2004... so they sent me a complimentary set of noise cancelling headphones. I won't lie, I promptly eBay'd those suckers so now Bose basically paid me $25 and 7 months of waiting to get the upgrade

My wife got me three DVD sets from Spacecraft Films: The Mighty Saturns, Project Gemini, and Apollo 11. (Very cool. )

My dad got me a copy of Michael Shermer's Why People Believe Weird Things. (Got to keep my debating skills sharp... )

My mom got me a light blue guayabera. (Moms always send clothes... )

ASA got me a really pretty box with two cookies in it. They said a raise or bonus would ruin my morale.

(They also gave me a really fat Jepp revision...)

I got myself a 19" LCD monitor for my birthday last month. For Christmas, the GF got me a nice RL sweater. The folks/family got me a nifty wireless keyboard/mouse kit and a card thingy to watch TV on the 2nd monitor. New socks and a shirt and tie for work. Oh, and a new coffee maker to mount under the cupboard in my kitchen at the new condo.

All and all, not a bad Christmas! Happy New Year ya all!

I think US Airways used to have the same philosophy. Back when they could afford it (could they ever really afford it?), we would get a five pound block of cheese. The first year I got my cheese, I thought it was a joke.

When the company first announced furloughs in late '01, we all wondered if we were going to get our cheese that year (we didn't).

This year, I was home for three days straight over the holiday. And, the best gifts were the handmade ornaments my kids gave me.
