Congrats M!
I got a pair of Cold Steel swords as the highlight of my Christmas.  A handful of gift certs, and some munchables.  
I also got to sing with my daughters at church.  We did a cover of Josh Groban's "Believe" from the Polar Express soundtrack.  Kinda nice to have a band that is just talented enough to pull it off.  It went well with the pastor's 4 week advent sermon, centered around the Polar Express story.  That will make a fine Christmas memory.
I did go through a lot of money this time.  I suspect this will be the last Christmas we spend like fiends for a while; at least until Grandkids start coming along.  I figure Christmas cost me about $3,500 this year.
