What did you get for Christmas?

jj94 · Dec 25, 2006

I got a PSP entertainment pack (includes a PSP, a movie, a game, and the charging accessories, and I also got Midnight Club 3 seperately), a silver 4G iPod Nano, and a gift certificate. I'm very thankful for these wonderful gifts, and I now realize how blessed I really am. Well, since that's out of the way, what did you get for Christmas?

sylvie369 · Dec 25, 2006

I got a thumb that's healing well after a stupid accident put me in the emergency room on Monday night. I will have my stitches removed tonight, and all-in-all, I got a great reminder of where "good health" stands in the list of overall priorities.

I also got a great radio-controlled mouse to entertain my cat with.

RevKeith · Dec 25, 2006

As far as rocket stuff goes I got a BSD 3in Horizon and 3in Diablo plus a $50 gift certificate to Hobbylinc. I've already posted my TRF Secret Santa haul of BT80 and BT70 body tubes and a BNC80BB nose cone.

A few other gifts were a Bible, coat (if it will only get cold enough in South Georgia to wear a coat), dress shirt and the joy of watching my kids on Christmas morning.

jj94 · Dec 25, 2006

Hmm, I forgot to mention that I actually didn't get any rocketry stuff this year. I still really really like my presents though.

tquigg · Dec 25, 2006

No rocketry stuff. Several DVD's and some CD's (Evenesence and Flyleaf.) Got some great patches from my foster son in the Navy of his squadron (VF32 Swordsmen) and the carrier they are assigned to (Harry Truman).

I got an MP3 player, and a quiet Christmas with my wife. No rocketry related presents, but two bottles of Laphroaig! The cardboard tubes from the bottles should make a great body tube....

Have a good holiday,

astrowolf67 · Dec 25, 2006

Nothing rocketry related aside from my SS gift. I did get a gift card from HobLob, which will probably go towards motors, or train stuff for my son.

Most of what I got was the usual. Clothes, summer sausages with cheese spreads, candies, ect. I did get a DVD, that I was really wanting, the new release of Disney's Robin Hood, my favorite all time since childhood. One unusual gift my wife and I got together from my parents, is a hand tuned set of wind chimes, and they sound awesome! And, I got some cash, which will be spent next week when I send off my application for the LEUP.

wwattles · Dec 25, 2006

I didn't get any rocketry stuff, specifically, although I know that my Secret Santa gift is still on its way (it was late in shipping). But I did, however, get this awesome little Christmas toy/ornament from my parents.

MarkM · Dec 25, 2006

I got a Polecat Thumper Jr. Very cool.

richalex2010 · Dec 25, 2006

aside from my SS present, I got a Shuttle Intrepid, a 38-piece Xacto knife set, a "Big Book of Mind Games", some novels, a pair of 1:144 scale static plane kits (a B-2 and a B-58A), a bag containing a pack of Mentos and a 2L bottle of Diet Coke (I've been bugging my parents to get that for a while

), a very large book about space exploration (called "Space", it's probably 4x2' and normally costs about $120 (actually 60 pounds)--it was on sale for $20, so I pointed it out to my grandmother, and carried out a large trash bag containing a rectangular prism measuring about 4'x2'x1"...

), several gift cards to various places, and I think a total of $240 so far (have a few relatives visiting in a couple of days

)...

All very fun, and we all had a good time (which is really the most important thing)

Merry Christmas to everyone!

WShoreRockets · Dec 25, 2006

Didn't get much this year. Some clothes and a nice figurine from the wife.

Unfortunately, we had to dump 2500 bucks into a new transmission for the car on December 8th, so Christmas was kind of lean this year.

Ah, we'll be good in January though. I'll be getting my new comp then.

Flamboyant · Dec 25, 2006

Rocketry related, I got a Fliskits Deuces Wild (been wanting one for soo long), Art Applewhite 29mm Delta Flying Saucer, and LOC/Precision Legacy.

Oh yeah, and I also put the BSD Horizon on my Christmas list, but didn't specify a size. (expecting the 3 or 4 inch version) Soooooo......they got me the 5.5 Inch version. Not going to build it for a while, but HOLY **** IT'S AWESOME THOUGH.

A book on Machine Guns
Some small rocket hand tools.

Fore Check · Dec 25, 2006

I got a few things, nothing major. (Well... other than my Secret Santa gift that I received.

) Most excited about the kids.

My 11 yr. old son got an Easton CNT Stealth Composite little league bat, at 32" and in the (-9) "Power Hitter's" line. He's so excited that he's been carrying it around with him all day since he opened it.

My 9 yr. old son got one of these "fly pens" and a bunch of accessories for it. He's been playing with it ever since.

My 2 yr. old daughter got a TONS of stuff - and she's darned near overwhelmed by it all. She really appreciates the "princess Barbie" stuff the most.

Merry Christmas everyone!

The CL002 is the model number (part number) of the kit... they are ALL CL002...

I got a wonderful SS gift that I will describe in the appropriate thread.

Also got long johns (oh man, I love'em!)

Also got to see my lovely wife smile the whole day long (well, when she wasn't napping). Got to see Jennifer enjoy her gifts and spend most of the afternoon figuring out the iPod she got from her brother. Got to watch Joe build up his Lego gifts (yep, at 24 he's still addicted to Lego LOL).

Had a wonderful dinner with family and friends.

What did you get for Christmas?
