The "Official" What Did You Get For Christmas? Thread

[Mopar440+6]

Not trying to be materialistic, I'm just bored so I figured I'd see if anyone else got anything cool. I didn't get anything really exciting but I did get some good stuff. The best part was seeing my little sisters faces when they saw the Penn State sweatshirts I bought them.

Pic 1: Toaster Oven- Gotta have that in a college guy's pad!
Pic 2: Poster with my name on it - Hand drawn by my lil sister. I know how much time that had to have taken so it means alot.
Pics 3 & 4: Plymouth Poster - My grandad gave it to me about 3 years ago and Ive wanted it framed ever since so my family finally got it framed for me!

I got a nice 3 piece toolbox set from Sears  . She had me order(pay) for her couch she wanted, that's what she wanted  .

[TheGhost]

The shirts fit my arrogant personality just perfectly.   Love the 69 Barracuda model, and I've always had a soft spot for the Classic Mustangs, but, I don't know about the Torino...  Well, at least it's car related.

[Silver R/T]

nothing for me this year but its ok

[Brock Samson]

My sweetheart got me a Barkalounger with a separate Ottoman,.. it's so comfy no one can believe it! 
  it's really cool, thing is too,.. that it perfectly matches our couch which is circa 1972 and comes from Norway, a Dark brown with about a dozen nickle sized buttons, & chrome tubular hardware, finding a match like that is truly a feat 34 years on!
I got an extremely elaborate dremel tool with over 60 attachments too,.. 
I hear rumors of more stuff later...

[Todd Wilson]

I got the usual stuff and an unexpected Xbox game machine.   ALso got this cool blanket!

Clothes, mp3 player for my workouts, remote car starter, $10K from my parents.

Best moment, my wife cried when she opened up one of her gifts fro me. I signed us up for ballroom dancing lessons. The things we do for love...

[NHCharger]

I signed us up for ballroom dancing lessons. The things we do for love...

If I had to take ballroom dancing lessons i'd be crying too.

[Afflyer]

Hey NH, you know my wife would do the same thing.  She's been dropping hints on the desire to learn ballroom dancing.  I guess it's coming back in style.

[CFMopar]

I dont think it ever left style for women. Just men 

[dkn1997]

-imitation grant "tuff" wheel
-battery topper cover from the paddock
-440 magnum pie plate

and who gives a S$#% about the rest, it wasn't mopar stuff.


about the grant tuff wheel.  for 35 bucks, you CANNOT go wrong with this.

The bad: it's a hair smaller than a real one, and the foam has a ridge.  also, the spokes are painted a very light gray.  the dish is a bit deeper and the spokes don't flatten out like a real one

the good:   it looks pretty damn good.  for those that just like the tuff style and don't care about show points, this is the way to go.  cheapest I have seen a decent reproduciton tuff wheel is 250 bucks.  I will post side by side with a real one if anyone interested.

If this was 100 bucks, then I would spend the coin on the good repro (only because it includes the horn button also)  but it's so ridiculously cheap.

[inhrmswy]

wife got me a 22 gallon air compressor, pacific trail coat, brothers in arms 2 game for the pc, and some fleece pants for loungin around the house in.  sister gave me a painting she did, nudie mermaids its very cool. got a tool set from the inlaws and some assorted stuff.

[Afflyer]

$10K from my parents.

Whoa- did you mean ten dollars or ten THOUSAND dollars?

Just wanted to clairify that one.

[nh_mopar_fan]

[NHCharger]

I got some gift cards for Sears and Home Depot.
My wife found a nice used pool table that we bought for our youngest son, altough we will all use it. He's been asking for one for years.

This is the 2nd year in a row. I keep telling them to go spend it on themselves, all of it. I don't want a penny. Neither does my brother or sister.

They do a couple cruises a year and seem to be pretty active so when they tell me that they are spending it, I am inclined to believe them.
