What kind of guitar Dani?

And congrats on the autographed microphone gypsy4life.

samthrax 12-23-2009 08:01 AM

I already cashed in all of my presents so there will be no surprises for me on Christmas. Oh well.

But I already received:
Beatles Rock Band for Wii
Tickets to see Bruce Springsteen
Either a Flip Cam or a Peacoat (it's my gift from my boyfriend and if I don't find a peacoat I like soon I'm just going to have him get me the camera. Heh.)

GODDESS6 12-23-2009 08:59 AM

i got a new computer & windows 7~

GoldDustBoy 12-23-2009 10:02 AM

I got a gray leather jacket I fell in love a couple of months ago, and a new lap top with Win 7. :)

FMlex 12-23-2009 10:06 AM

It's not really my Christmas present but Windows 7 here too, Goddess and GoldDustBoy!

My poor dad. He has to put Win 7 on about thirteen computers before he puts it on his own.

I'm not really sure what I'm getting for Christmas... I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Agh!

Enchanted_Stevi 12-23-2009 01:19 PM

I told my dad I want a Wii and I asked him if he got it for me so I could ask my mom for some games. So he got me a wii and I asked my mom for some games. IDK which ones yet. Thats probably it. Idk what my friends got me yet or my grandmother.

No idea-- I haven't seen it. But I'll let you know when I get it on Friday!

Dodfather 12-23-2009 03:01 PM

Well, as some people on here may know I'm a HUGE Michael J. Fox fan so a friend of mine got me this for Christmas...



I love it!!

Do you like it? I LOVE IT, and I hated Vista.

Yep, so far so good!

I grew up on Windows (95, 98, 2000, XP, and Vista) so I didn't notice anything to dramatic except that it's much faster now. Of course I'm not all technical but according to any engineer in my family, it's amazing haha.

Glad you're likin' it! :thumbsup:

golddustdrummer 12-23-2009 11:54 PM

got all my presents early!
new Steve Madden jacket, a gorgeous wool hat, several pairs of drumsticks, a ton of other random clothing articles...mostly for work, and the now ceremonial "Crisp Kringle" chocolate Santas (http://www.groovycandies.com/pc/cata...28_General.jpg) I've gotten them every year since I was like 7.

I'm still holding out hope of some surprises....
its not Christmas without something I didn't know I needed.

happy holidays everyone! :xoxo:

mylittledemon 12-24-2009 12:00 AM

Crisp Kringles! Niiiiiiice.

I know I got a boxed set of the entire Seinfeld series, as that was pretty much all I asked for. There are half a dozen other presents under the tree that I have no clue as to what they are. :rolleyes:

MoonWaterPoet 12-24-2009 11:08 PM

I bought myself 2 tickets to go to see David Gray in concert for next March. I won't knnow what I got from my family for Christmas until tomorrow... ;-)

cristochango 12-25-2009 11:25 AM

I got a new fender electric/acoustic guitar as my big thing.

^pumped to read it :)

FMlex 12-25-2009 05:05 PM

Cool gifts, everyone!! I got an iPod touch which I'm loving so far. I can't get an iPhone because I don't have AT&T. All I have on here so far is fm and Stevie music/videos :)

I bought myself the 64GB on Black Friday. I love it! You need to have a wireless network to obtain the full benefits of the device. I am on it right now as a matter of fact. I don't have AT&T myself. Do you have a BlackBerry? I don't leave home without my BlackBerry and iPod Touch.

WelshWitchPMD 12-25-2009 05:58 PM

I got money, iTunes gift cards, gift cards to IHOP and Dunkin Donuts, a nice travel set, and a ton of candy and sweets. I kind of bought myself gifts earlier this season. The 64GB iPod, some cases for it and the BlackBerry, some Coach bags and some Vera Bradley cases.
I am in desperate need of a new laptop but I can't find what I want. I need a 500GB.

That's awesome!!
Yeah, but it's great because nowadays so many public places have wireless.

I've got a crummy env2 for my cell phone (I have Verizon and can't upgrade until March when I'll need to renew my contract... yay life) so I'm really excited to have this too! :)

I have Verizon too. Can't say that I recommend the Storm as I am now having problems with mine. It was fine until I did the software update. They have the new Droid but I don't
know much about it.
Free WiFi is getting more and more popular. I know both Borders and Barnes and Noble now offer it and even McDonalds offers it with any purchase.
When I got my first 8gb iPod touch a year ago I hadn't set up my wireless network so I use to go to Panera to download anything.

daniellaaarisen 12-25-2009 07:51 PM

...I have never before felt this spoiled.

Between my immediate family, extended family and 3 best friends, I got:
A TURNTABLE!
25+ vinyls
an acoustic guitar + 8 lessons
a handbag
Marc Jacobs sunglasses
a crescent moon necklace :)
Nordstrom and Barnes & Noble gift cards
money for my college fund



This is ridiculous.

DavidMn 12-26-2009 12:43 AM

Oooooh....what'd you get?! I've had my turntable for about 3 months and because of xmas etc I haven't bought as many records as I should...yet! I have about 25.

jaycee 12-26-2009 06:41 AM

Well, one of my presents was the FM concert of 15 December in Brisbane (we had to fly from Melbourne), but there was also...
"Metroid Prime: Trilogy", a Wii game
"Lawrence Leung's Choose Your Own Adventure", an Australian comedy series
"John Safran's Race Relations", another Aussie comedy
"The Ancestor's Tale" by Richard Dawkins
"The Complete World According To Clarkson" by Jeremy Clarkson
And a set top box for digital tv.
And clothes. How could I forget the clothes?
I gave my parents albums:
"Strange Days" by The Doors
"L.A. Woman" also by The Doors
"The Definitive Lionel Richie"
"The Very Best Of Cream"
And everyone was happy! :D

Sorry Dave, I couldn't resist.:] Did it come from the toilet of Stevie Nicks or the toilet of Mick Fleetwood?:xoxo::]

gypsy4life 12-26-2009 09:24 AM

Obviously, the Stevie Nicks signed microphone was awesome for me! I also got a new video camera, a sewing machine, and the perfume my Mom looked up on the internet that Stevie wears called "Fracas". Let me say this, it is no wonder people talk about how good she smells...mmmmm..it's awesome!

I got many other nice things, I mean, to be 31 years old and be as excited as I was in the 80s when I got my coveted Cabbage Patch Kid...well, it's been an awesome Christmas!

LikeAWillow 12-26-2009 11:07 AM

It was a good Christmas for me. I haven't gotten my gifts from my friends yet, we've got a big exchanged planned at the beginning of next week, but from my family:

Victorias Secret and Sephora gift cards
The Complete Works of Kafka
A biography on Mao
A hair straightener
Lots of Penn State gear! :blob2:
A gorgeous new winter coat

Well, it will be purchased on special occasions only for me, it is quite expensive. I do LOVE it though, it is nothing like I've ever smelled before. Very unique-no wonder Miss Nicks wears it!

Musicman408 12-26-2009 12:57 PM

Cool stuff you guys!!!

Some high points were my new Toto Cds and DVD along with House MD season 5 DVD and a new Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital Tee-Shirt!!

Gypsycat999 12-26-2009 01:20 PM

My greatest present beside the Fleetwood Mac concert in October was Alf on DVD!! I've been watching & laughing my ass off since Thursday night whenever we weren't visiting relatives (:(). I just LOVE Alf :].
I also got new stereo equipment so finally I can listen to CDs again without having to fight with this stupid thing for half an hour before. Yayay. My dad immediately grabbed my old one to take it to his workplace so he can always listen to Fleetwood Mac. He told me the people there already call him crazy. Sometimes I'm not sure if it was a good idea to take him to the concert :shrug::p.
From most of my relatives I got money so I'm gonna do some online shopping the next days :).

All in all I have to say this Christmast was not a bad one :D. Though the absolutely greatest present is that all my relatives still speak to each other after spending the whole day together yesterday. This truly is a gift.

fleetwoodtrick 12-26-2009 02:53 PM

http://static.guim.co.uk/Guardian/li...monti-8153.gif

Why yes, that is a Tremonti SE PRS guitar. :) I'm too lazy to take my own pictures, but there ya go! Isn't it amazing? I'm in love. But I feel bad for my stratocaster, because he'll be on the shelf for a little while.

I also got

A LCD flat screen TV that is hanging from my wall.
The promise that I will get a Droid when my phone contract is up.
A new North Face jacket thing. ♥
A designer contact case . (Which I didn't know I needed, but it's super cute!)
57382957383 iTunes giftcards.
All of this on top of a lot of sentimental things from my grandparents and... perhaps the best of all...

I'm getting my braces off in about a week! (I've had them for four years. It's time they come off.)

I'm a damn spoiled kid. (But this all was part of my birthday present too.)

Alexa and Pattie - Ugh. I have the env2 too. And I have a year of my contract left still. But I got the iTouch over the summer, and I love it! You guys should too :)

Edit: Oh yeah, I killed my laptop. Goodbye precious memories. Goodbye iTunes. Goodbye hours and hours of Stevie/Mac video, music, and pictures. Goodbye 150 pictures of Billie Joe Armstrong I had saved. I need a new hardrive, but I'm really hoping that a tech wiz can salvage some of the pictures of my family. :( But other than that. It was a pretty amazing Christmas :)))

Haha, no. I'm a sophomore at Wellesley College in Boston. My mom is a Penn State alumna and my best friend is currently attending, though, so I've got a lot of loyalty to the school. Plus, my women's college doesn't exactly give me my football fix, and my boyfriend goes to NYU so I'm not getting it there, either. JoePa's boys are a good solution.

hippilil86 12-26-2009 09:59 PM

Christmas has been kind of bittersweet this year, as my Grandma passed away last Friday, and we had the funeral service the Tuesday before Christmas.

But...

we did try to make the most of Christmas. Among other things, I got an amazing fringed pair of leather Minnetonka boots that I adore.
