Gave:
To the girlfriend: A French horn themed Christmas ornament, a French horn poster, a 24-k plated trombone pin, and a scarf. (Obviously, she's a musician. :lol
To the rest of the family: Blood sweat and tears and an admission letter to the University of Miami ? I don't get much in cash, but it went fwwwooooop after the girlfriends things (and the mandatory expected gift to my goddaughter. Sometimes I really hate that 59.99 dollar price tag on new games.)
Got:
A 1:144 scale model (which still needs assembly and painting) of the Saturn V rocket, complete with LM and detachible stages.
Some manly cologne and body wash (which could be insinuating something, I hope not.)
One of those guitar games for the Xbox, Rocksmith, that uses a real guitar as a controller instead of a plastic thing (my poor fingers.)
A set of business cards for my VSA, courtesy my father, who watches me play Orbiter over my shoulder.
An electric beard trimmer courtesy of the mother (damn thing comes back within two days.)
Batman: Arkham City courtesy of grandmother.
A few gift cards to GameStop (eugh) from the aunts.
And finally, two shirts (one of which I am wearing) and a concert DVD for my favorite band, Coheed and Cambria.
'twas a good Christmas indeed.
