Lucky you!
I got 4 pairs of thermal underwear(no image available) and a set of entry level pc speakers. I'm happy though, I bought myself some stuff.
What I gave:
I bought my other half a really nice watch. The wristband doesn't fit, it doesn't keep the correct time and she didn't care for the glow in the dark numerals!

Nice haul Leigh.

I got some Jack Daniels Whiskey Praline Pecans, yum yum; a very nice Street Rod calendar, some cash, a cool Primos cap with the Browning logo, and the host of on sale airplanes I bought myself, plus the TrackIR. It will

take me a while to really learn the F-14, F-20, A-10, Vulcan and C-130, but I do pretty well with the rest. The least desirable of the bunch is the Twin Star and it is ok. I think the one that is the most fun is the SA-2 Samson.

The main thing, is I got to spend time with my Mom, Aunt, Son, Daughter-in-law, Daughter and grandsons, not to mention a lot of good food.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

We've decided to pool our money next year and get something for the house. We also make it a point to give to the Salvation Army each year for the less fortunate. Hope you had a good one this year.

I got a bottle of Crown Black, an REI gift card, a couple of books about firefighters (my job), and I bought myself a CH Eclipse yoke and a couple of aircraft add-ons.
My bought my wife an iPhone 4 and a new camera.
The best part was that it was my son's first Christmas, so he got spooooillled by Santa, I think I'll have to buy a new house just to store all the new toys Grin

And as a late Christmas gift we caught a 2-alarm working commercial structure fire 15min into our shift yesterday, what a way to start your day Cheesy

That's nice , our whole family basically did the same thing. Did not give or receive. My ma and uncles died with heart disease dad and other family died with various cancers so we gave to those two associations and also the food bank for the homeless and some more. I donated from my heart, but the tax write off was a gift to me. Like they say, Give and you shall receive.
