Now that all the gifts have been opened (except for you Jewish CF'ers...aren't there like 6 crazy nights left?   ;)  ), what was the best gift you got this year?

I got Sirius Satellite Radio for my car, with an adapter to listen indoors.

That brings up  a centuries old question. If, you believe in the law of averages...and lets say...conservatively....1 out of every 100 actually 'buys'(or whatever)...if you found 100 lonely old people with money...I wonder if one of those would actually leave you their inheritence for actually thinking that you really cared about them when all you were doing was using them to answer this centuries old question. Hmm.

*Bonus: Another centuries old question, if you had 100 female senior citizens, how many would ride you like a bull just for showing them attention. Hmm.

There is something about cutting into a juicy, tender piece of steak with a samurai-sharp-like steak knife. Can make you feel like god. It also makes the steak taste better too.

My most surprisingly useful gift was my Eagles Santa hat that my wife bought as a "fun" gift.  Took it with us to my in-laws' home in Maine, and I've been using it to keep my ears warm in this cold, snowy weather.

Also got Civ IV, but I have to wait until I get home to try it out.

Combined for Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas' Eve, December 5th) and my birthday (and some of my own money) I got a digital camera (Canon Powershot S2 IS) and accessories. And a bit of chocolate and Sudoku puzzles. Ans a bit of money for my backpack (only coverd 10% though :o)


I gave away to my father a tie, my mom a CD, my sister and her boyfriend, who have just moved in together, a breadknive, and each a napkin and nalkin holder. And for Christmas I have cooked them dinner.
