What did YOU get for Christmas?

Mburns92,
You are indeed a good person! That is one of the best Christmas giving stories I have heard this year. My 6 year old daughter had a Christmas/birthday party and asked her friends to NOT bring her any gifts this year, but instead bring food, toys, bedding, cleaning supplies that we could give to our local no-kill shelter. We put everything into a large box, decorated the outside with photos of the animals at the shelter from their website, put a big bow on it and took it to them. You would have thought we gave them a million dollars, they were so grateful. The best thing is, it was all my 6 year old's idea. We have a shelter dog, a shelter rabbit, a shelter cat, and a Golden Retriever pup as well. Thanks for sharing with us such a caring attitude on the part of your family.

Well, I picked up the Platinum Series Extended Edition versions of the Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. I have been really enjoying not only the extended versions of the films, but the documentaries are very well done, as well. My wife also got me a boombox, and promptly told me (before I even opened the box) that it didn't sound very good, and that I would want to return it. Well, after listening to all the boomboxes available, I ended up getting a Sony GFD-G55. While not the end all, be all, it isn't too bad, and should help to make washing cars, waxing boats, and other garage-related work much more enjoyable.

Ho ho ho!

Along with clothes and other 'usuals', my wife and I found out that she is pregnant with our first child.

This is most definitely the best Christmas I have ever had.
