'Holiday' Haul '08

Soo, what did ya get this year? This is the un-official repository for "OH DOOD LOOK WHAT I GOT!" and all that fun stuff that spams these forums around this time.

I wound up with:
Turn Signals
Turn Signal Stems (2 front 1 rear)
New (to me) wiring harness for my Magna
Few articles of clothing that I apparently needed. (shirts and awesome dorm pants.)
Little Big Planet (Total Win!)
New silverware for my apartment (really nice, needed it too but it was unexpected)
1 case of Okocim O.K Pale polish lager (that I can drink for once)
Fallout 3 for the PS3

More to come on the Eve and Christmas Day. Yeah..

Well me being jewish might have something to do with not really getting anything i wanted though there is also the fact that i don't really live near any of my family that could also be the case.

I never get exactly what I want for the holidays, and barely get anything at all really (gift cards, money, clothes and other broing things). This year isn't an exception, and even so, I'm still satisfied with what I do get. I guess I simply like Christmas for what it is. Presents are merely a part of tradition that isn't always necessary. I do intend on picking some stuff up for myself during boxing week, though. :)

I've actually never gotten used clothing as a Christmas present like, ever. In fact, when I do receive cloths as a gift it'll usually be new. :P
