BD's are early Christmas presents to myself. (W&G was $12, IB was $5.55, War was $5 and The Police: Certifiable was $10).
Champs Sports Bowl tickets are a present from my GF, at least mine is. Brother and nephew also going. GO CANES!

K, here's my christmas morning haul.
Closeup on a pair of Sennheiser HD 595. I've only listened to one song on them so far, but it sounds fantastic.
The Serenity RPG and dice set are actually from the Penny Arcade Expo forums secret santa, a nice surprise there. That's a book light sitting on top of Serenity.
Now I have some other stuff that I bought for myself before Christmas.
Complete Y the Last Man series. It is amazingly good. I'll probably be reading this one multiple times.
Some stuff that I got from the big bad toy store. The Ringwraith was pretty disappointing, it has very stiff rubber on it, but there's no articulation so it's pretty much impossible to make it stand up and the sword is piece of crap. Diecast Boba Fett is pretty cool although the gun he's holding doesn't really fit into his hands all that well. The Snake figure is the best of the 3, stands up perfectly, is very detailed, and it just looks cool.
Finally, my favorite figure right now.
Cardboard Tube Samurai will cut you.

Finally finished my second TE stick mod. The design is not as artistic as my original white stick, but the main idea here was to have a black counterpart with "evil Taeyeon" joining the Shadaloo organization. Taeyeon wearing basically the same cap as M. Bison was too good a chance to pass up.

Hope you don't mind me asking but what kind of deal did you get on those cans? I've been trying to find the best method to buy that model and the best I could come up with is the 555's from newegg but there not in stock anymore. Long and Mcquade can order them in but there just way to much compared to the US pricing.Wormdundee said:

I got them for Christmas so I don't really have a good idea. All I know is that my dad got it off of eBay and it shipped from Hong Kong. I would highly suggest looking through here http://www.google.com/products?q=sennheiser+hd+595&aq=f and trying to find a store that will ship to Canada, because I agree, trying to get it in Canada will cost you way more. You should be able to get them for under 200 (in the 170-190 range). Sucks that amazon.com has restricted shipping to Canada on so many items.
Good luck

It was a good christmas Happy Holidays Y'all!
I'll try to get a reasonable, decent size picture of some of the stuff I got for Christmas up soon but I can at least post what I got now.
All things considered I did quite well. Got:
3 Month Xbox Live Gold card so I can play 1 VS 100
$50 PSN Card
The Muppets: Letters to Santa Claus Extended Edition DVD
Ugly Betty Season 3
Two and a Half Men Season 5
Three Stooges Collection Volume 7...I already have Vols 1-5 and asked for both vols 6 and 7 for Xmas but only got Vol 7. My birthday is on Tuesday so I'm suspecting I'll see Vol 6 then. If you're a Stooge nut/fan I HIGHLY recommend the 3 Stooges Collection. They've broken everything down into volumes, each one covering all the shorts in 2 year periods and they have digitally remastered the picture and sound for DVD quality. They look and sound GREAT You can find the current 7 volumes on Amazon for under 20 bucks a piece. Really, with the excellent digital re-mastering they could easily charge 40-50 bucks a piece but didn't. Well worth every penny if you're a Stooge fan since once all planned 9 volumes are out all 190 shorts will finally be avaliable to own
Game wise I got:
Mario pajama pants...
I asked for, and got ALMOST aside for a few of the games I want during the first 3 months of next year pre-ordered...not only that, my Mom said she will pay for ALL of each game as they come out over the next 3 months! I was relieved believe me I wasn't sure how I would afford the ones I really want so I figured try asking for Christmas and I got it:
On pre-order are:
Final Fantasy CC: The Crystal Bearers..picking it up tomorrow or Sunday
White Knight Chronicles
Star Ocean 4 International Edition
Final Fantasy 13
God Of War Ultimate Edition
Sakura Wars
3D Dot Game Heroes
The only ones I have left to pre-order are Heavy Rain, Fragile, and definitely Yakuza 3!
Really good year overall I really can't complain!

My family kinda gave up exchanging gifts at christmas years ago but my mom usually give me a little something. $50 at TJs will set me up with groceries for two to three weeks:
And I live in a retirement community and the old chinese woman that lives next store usually raids her pantry for something to give back when we give her an annual pumpkin bread. Last year it was a big tub of Pork Sung and this year it is calcium candies from asia.

BAH! They were sold out in minutes online, and the lines at the malls were a joke.
