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.
The girl I'm 'seeing'......got me a white McNabb Jersey...and a beanie.
Needless to say, she will be my future wife. :paranoid
DVDs, books, clothes, the same old boring shtein I ask for every year when all I really want is cash in a retirement-sized pile.

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.
A meat grinder..to cut up my ELK!!
I had elkburgers when I was in college. they were farging delicious.

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.
What if you already feel like a god? Does it make you feel like some nutty cookoo super god?

Super, yes. Nutty cookoo, no.
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.
Got a black Reebok Eagles jacket. I can't find a pic of it online. The tag says 'On Field' though.
Flyers Pitaken jersey
DVDs: Batman Begins, 40 Year Old Virgin, Constantine, E-A-G-L-E-S The Movie
Books: If Football is Religion...., Sunday Pilgrimage, Eagles Encylclopedia

one of those uber universal remotes that littlerally takes all your components and presets buttons to change them all at once, so anyone can use my home theater.
and i got a harold carmichael throwback...i love this jersey.
I got a TiVo box and a mini-fridge for the Eagles room I'm putting together.
Clothes... a nice watch... a couple CDs.
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.
