What did you get/give on X-Mass?
well, the youngster's age is already gone and after 2 years in the UK I spent X-mass time with my family, my girlfriend and my mates at work 
so here comes the question...
what did you get and what did you give to your close ones?
I got a 1kg of jelly bears ( www.trolli.de)  , jumper, shirt, and some moniez to buy some shoes (Mustang 100%) 
not much, but I appreciate giving more than take
and I gave:
Sony 160GB HDD DVD Recorder, 10 DVD movies for my parents, some nicely hand made soap for granny and tea set for my G/F
costed me pretty lot of money, but if your closest deserve it...
how about you?

well.
I got a bunch of t-shirts, a very cool biography of a know b-ball player here in SLO, I got a cool sweater, and I got a karaoke set for the PS2.- don't ask, because it's great fun when you're drunk...and I'm sure I forgot something...
I gave: a fridge, a canon camera, 2 massage tickets, one men's parfume, and a very cool book about two slovenians going around the world with their car, then I gave a scarf, and a playmobil set and I bought halflife game for a kid, and I bought a set of sk8 board wheels and a zero t-shirt and a pair od AIR jordan socks and a AIR J. wristband for my buddies... damn,... :shock: Maybe I should cut back next year

you don't have to buy expensive things...
as you say... the best is "show love" - that counts MOST

I got a bunch of new threads to wear, a book (How I Became Stupid), and a bunch of cash.
I gave some silver winter boots, a desktop pc, J Dilla Donuts CD, a bento box, a Mr. T talking phrases key chain, and a tattoo for my sister (of the same ambigram of our last name that I have on my arm)

Well, all I got was cash and sweets and that's good because I know what to spend it on. And since I have a job now, I decided to by my parents presents - Homer Simpson boxer shorts for my dad and some jewelerry for my mum. Nothing special, but its always a bigger pleasure to give than to get.
