Clothes, money, and a vhs->dvd dubbing unit, which I sorely needed.

Quite happy with all of it!

My brother-in-law got me a signed copy of "One Train Later" by Andy Summers.

I asked him to get this for me for Christmas. Andy (which also happens to be the name of my brother-in-law) was in Chicago for his book signing and my b-n-l went and had him sing it for me.

It reads... To (my name) You are my favourite brother in law - Andy Summers

Pretty Awesome.. the only thing that would have made it better was if I had actually been there to get it singed.... but never-the-less it was pretty special. (I had already read his book, but this copy will go some place special).

My wife bought me Sting's autobiography, "Broken Music". I started reading it last night... only about 40 pages in so far.

I also got the Message in The Box (Box Set) to add to my collection.

Now... if Stewart would just write his book..... that would be worth reading!

Got the usual money and crap I don't really need and ate way too much food. Anyway, the coolest thing that has happened to me thus far this season is stumbling upon several copies of the recently pulled from print Mystery Science Theater 3000 volume 10 while I was out shopping: http://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Science-T ... UTF8&s=dvd This particular set was pulled back by Rhino for as yet unexplained reasons, although the rumour is that Rhino didn't secure the rights to one of the films on the set (some say it is the Godzilla movie and others say it was the Spider movie featuring the Skipper from Gilligan's Island). It has been going for about $100 on ebay recently. I managed to find 3 copies in a local Borders (one given to my cousin as an X-mas present wo is a big Godzilla fan). This is the current hottest OOP dvd. If you are lucky to come across this while you are out shopping, I would definitely grab it. I still found a copy as late as Saturday, December 23. And Borders has a 30% off anything over $10 coupon that is still good until the end of the year: http://www.visitborders.com/index.php?c=A.

I was so surprised to find a huge wrapped present by my tree on Christmas morning and my parents were so excited they said to open it up right away. So, I started tearing off the paper and then the top popped open and out jumped Stewart Copeland! He had this big smile on his face and I was so surprised I fainted...

...well, that's what I would have like to have gotten anyway. :lol:

I got a new winter jeans jacket, a pullover, money, a black leather belt, alcohol (yes, my mum, she loves me!), a pijama (my mum again), two racks to put cd's in ... you see, no Police related items.... I just love to get them for the remaining 364 days of the year...

>>and Daddys having fun with it <<

On Christmas morning my Dad use to play with our electronic toys, before we could, "I'm just making sure it works...."

Half an hour later, "Mom, Dad won't let me play with it!..."

No blonde guys under my tree :(

But I got some Godiva and some cool stuff for the house. Santa mostly comes for the kids in our house, and my best gift is watching them open their stash.

Well, because I am a Mom and play the role of Santa, I gave one week trip to Orlando to my three kids.

Was an amazing Mickey Mouse experience...
