Nothing rocketry related, but I never really ask for anything other than money, cause i hate to take something back unless i really have to. Still going to the cousin's, maybe I'll get a kit there.
Wait: just remembered that i was at my grandparent's last night for Christmas eve, i stayed up so late I forgot
There: $25, a GOOD pair of binoculars (variable zoom 5-15x, compact) a flashlight, and a t-shirt from Jamaica.
So far I got the Canadian Arrow (that I asked for), a wallet (that I desperately needed but was to cheap to spring for), a new dress shirt and tie, T shirts, a cool pen, a new coat, a couple DVDs and Playstation 2.
Oh, wait. That's supposedly for the kids. Right.
Three Spacecraft Films sets: Apollo 8 (watching right now), Apollo 11, Gemini (already had The Mighty Saturns). Scale Kits Alarm and Guideline. Extended edition Return of the King. Some clothes. A book. Velcro straps.

You really scored with the pole cat 7.5. If you want a real ride try a K1100 in the center and 4 ELLIS MOUNTAIN H275s, talk about a lot of accelereation. I got a TAC-1 Parachute, 5 grain Pro54 casing. A electric guitar, I used to have a cheap starter set, now I can rock out, lol, the neighbors must of been a little mad this morning. Some magazines, X-box game, money, gift cards, some other smaller rocket hardware, i did GOOD this year!!!
We got, rocketry-related,
an Estes X-Prize Gauchito for my 5 year old son,
an Estes X-Prize Lucky Seven for my 7 year old son,
and $50 for me to buy rocket stuff.
[Edit] I forgot, my wife gave me a $50 Barnes & Noble gift certificate. I gave her a pedometer, a wearable heart-rate monitor, and a 500 piece cat jigsaw puzzle.
I got some Sun Ringle SUV disc wheels and Panaracer Fire FR 2.4 tires for my mountain bike. I'm a happy camper but what you give on Christmas is more important that what you recieve.
I got a 28mm-70mm camera lenses and $50 from my parents. And my step-grandparents gave me another $50. I don't believe Christmas is too big in Thailand, so I've never received presents from my biological relatives.
With the $100, I'll probably get a film bulk loader, 100' of Kodak Tri-X 400 black and white film, some film canisters, and a sweatshirt.
$100 that I applied to an auto-darkening welding helmet,
2005 Atlas,
Shirt,
Estes SnapShot starter kit from my nephew (rocket associate),
& a bag with some summer sausage, cheeses, crackers, and nuts.
I got surround sound for my TV, TONS of DVDs, an AWESOME World Series poker set(full set of chips, cards, and a table!), lots of clothes, and a portable DVD player for the 11 hour trip to Grandma's tomorrow!!
Nothing rocketry related though...I think it got a little expensive at my birthday in October. Oh well, it is not about the gifts!
