Most of my family haven't been able to make it here yet, due to the snowstorms. So far, gaming-wise, I got:

Well, 40k wise I got a Cadian Special Weapon blister.
For modeling, I got a fresh pack of GS, and some molding rubber. Sweet. Now to make meself some reproducible trenchgaurd...
Clothing wise, I got a really comfy undershirt from MEC, the long-sleeved black style, and a big genuine Drizabone duster, which I believe was brought a considerable distance for me. It's really neat.
I also got the Victorinox Rescue Tool, which is wicked.

Boosting Ultramarine Biker

As far as 40k, I got a Tyranid Crusher Brood (3 Fexes), and an Eldar Wraithguard to finally give me a full 10 man squad of them. Other stuff includes generic clothing including an awesome Tony Hawk Skateboarding jacket. Prince of Persia for PS3, Red Alert 3 for PC, a popcorn machine, and a food steamer. Finally, my Fiancè got me a totally awsome $100 dollar watch.
Overall a great Christmas. Much better than last year when I spent Christmas eve in my car cause I got stranded with two flat tires.

I got two shirts that do not fit, a pair of jeans that do and an orange.
Well, what did I expect? I was not meant to be home this year for the hollidays, seeing my family was a good enough gift for me.
Although, I wouldn't have minded a few minis!

Santa brought me:
Combination credit card holder/calculator (from the school's Santa Workshop)
An Ice Cube lunchbox
"Vote for Vader in 2008" t-shirt (I'd like to think of our president elect as a well mannered Darth Barack...)
4G Flashdrive
a Rush CD
a rice cooker (given to me, intended for the wife - my rice cooks fine on the stovetop)
a Kitchenaid stand mixer complete with flames on the motorhead (just like Alton, baby!)
3 pots of GW paint that I didn't already have
1 pot of GW paint that I do already have (yeah! exchanges!)
What Santa failed to bring me due to relying on Fedex during a snowstorm [insert FAIL here]:
Sabol Army Transport - the wife finally got tired of hearing me  when little men fell apart going from point A to point B
Kolinski Series 7 brushes (0, 2/0, 3/0) - the wife finally got tired of hearing me when little men got paint in the wrong place from frizzled bristles on low-grade brushes
Santa couldn't bring me but I got anyway:
the first afternoon nap I've had a chance to enjoy since Thanksgiving
the love and adoration of my son for his first cell phone, mp3 player, and Monolith

I got Life Jazz (perfume by YSL, very nice), a japanese-page styled Moleskin, a book about a cat, a dog and a man (reminiscent of Calvin & Hobbes), and Dr.Doom 2099 #21. Hey, all I'm missing are the 19 between #1 and #21 (and all that came after that...). And the odd chocolate.
From me I got an Assault on Black Reach, but I don't know when I'm gonna paint it. My dad gave me an external HD (1 tb, and I've only got 10 gb free. Oh woe!) and a new iPod, since he knew I was giving my old one to my gf so she could use it with the iPod docking station I got her (which is really good, I might be getting one later).
Other than that... I gave my older brother the Settlers of Catan game, nothing for my middle-brother and youngest sister, but I bought a laptop-base for my older sister and a cute cap and gloves for my nephew.
Dad got squat and mom got a body cream. Sorry fellas, not enough money to go around (that'll teach 'em to top up my account properly).
Still haven't used the iPod. It looks extremely frail (but cute) so I don't want to take it for a walk before I get it a proper cover.
