For those who celebrate it, anyway.

I got:

Zelda Ocarina of Time (Gold N64 Cartridge)
The Matrix- Path of Neo (Awesome game)
Myst 5 - End of Ages
Sweet LED USB light (for night time lights out computer happenings)
New headphones
Lava lamp night light
Tubular Bells 2003 DVD-Audio 5.1 surround album
A nice shirt that my fiance bought me

Also, it wasn't really a christmas present but, I got a sweet Roland CM-500 Synthesizer coming in the mail! It's a combination of the Roland MT-32 and the Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 all in one (which was the 2 best synthesizers for use with old Sierra games. Will do wonders with my composing!

There are more but that's mainly the big stuff.

Sure do, I sell them every day. That's why I pressure the customer's to go for the 3 year product support since it'll probably happen sooner or later. I didn't expect to get one but they are pretty cool gadgets.

The most reliable MP3 player at the moment is probably the new Sony Walkman. I don't really listen to alot of music on the go but still the Ipod is pretty sweet.

I got KOTOR II (the sith lords), nice RPG (a little less fighting would have been nice, but a good game nonetheless).

(Ok, I actually got that for 'sinterklaas' the fifth of december but I thought since it was close enough to the 25th :-)

Here's a nice christmas gift, I was playing King's Quest 6 and my fiance got interested and we played the entire catacombs section together (I've never played KQ6 through before) ad she really liked it. Now I got her into KQ7 and she wants her own copy.

She's finally into adventure games! Yey!
