Best Christmas Presents

I always wanted the Pirate Ship. Bah, never got it. My rich cousin did, lucky bastard. I almost want to go buy it now just because I can. Unfortunately, my imagination isn’t what it used to be, and after I build it I would probably just let it sit and collect dust.

OMG, here is is. I wish I could go back in time and give myself the money to buy this. I wanted it so god damn badly.

Seeing all this AT-AT love is bringing back good memories.

One Christmas I got the AT-AT as well as the Dewback + Sandtrooper set. It was fucking great. I also eventually got the AT-ST. [/quote]

That is amazing. The best part is when its shooting its “lasers” at the squirrel.

Lego’s are the shit. [/quote]

I asked my parents for legos every fucking year. Never got any. Mom explained later they were too expensive. Instead, she bought me tinker toys and lincoln logs and other gay toys. The combined total of all the gay toys was much greater than a box of legos would’ve been, but math is not mom’s strong suit.

I loved Legos! I had a five gallon bucket full of em, my mother has stolen them and now my nieces and nephews play with them.

Best gift I ever gave: Trip for hubby to see Duke play at Cameron (he’s a huge Duke fan).

Best gift given this year: My brother and his wife compiled seven years of “Family Chronicle” e-mails that my mother sends out to the whole family for birthdays, weddings, babies, divorces, funny stuff, deaths, advice, etc. It’s pretty amazing to see it all bound into a book.

The best gift I got this year was the look on my sister’s face when she realized what the gift that I got for her meant.

I think I said on an earlier thread that I visited my sister’s house over the summer and was appalled at the pictures of Mao and Stalin and Ho Chi Minh and the gigantic Chinese flag in the living room and the hammer and sickle coasters on the coffee table and so forth. She claims it’s all her roommate’s and “a statement in irony”. I told her she was full of shit and that irony was Andrew Jackson on the twenty dollar bill and that this was something entirely different.

So I got her a big, framed picture of the Unknown Man standing in front of the tanks in Tianenman Square. She didn’t quite get it, although it was a familiar picture to her. So I had her look it up on the Almighty Internet and the look on her face when she realized the totality of the meaning of her gift was priceless. It totally ruined Christmas for my mom for about an hour because my sister left the room after calling me an asshole and ignored me after that. But the sight of her face slowly changing from incredulity to sickening realization to sheer disgust was worth it.

I don’t understand most of what you’ve written, but it sounds like a ‘good for you’ slap on the back is what’s best here from me to you.

Cliff notes: I derive pleasure from my sister’s anger.

Taylor 410 CE - This is the guitar equivalent to the movie “She’s Out of My League”. I find myself sitting quietly staring at her, trying to pick out flaws to make myself feel worthy. I can’t find any. She really is perfect.

FUCK. YES.

That’s a great gift (I would hang that on my wall, no doubt about it; awesome pic) and a hilarious story. I missed the part where you slit someone’s fucking throat though; that did happen, right?

I don’t do so bad this year. My girlfriend got me a pork butchery class. How cool is that?

Makkun

An unexpected “moment” with Mrs Dwarf.
I stepped out of the shower to find her standing there nude with one leg up on the counter.
And since that gift was already unwrapped and partially open, well… a Merry Christmas indeed.

that happened on Festivus

I did well this year, 360 games, some equipment from elitefts, and a damn fine piece of German engineering (minus the threaded barrel and flashlight).

Most Nostalgic- A VHS copy of E.T. My mom got so tired of me watching it she broke the tape, and my uncle bought me a new copy.

A present like that certainly beats any Star Wars toy.

I would have to say the ulitmate win would be the princess Leah bikini costume on the wife in bed. Even with the hair.
