I got some UnderArmour, a MN Vikings Christmas tree ornament, a heated bed pad (been whining for one of those for a while) a cool laser-level on a tripod for my home improvement work...and a few other things which I am too ill at the moment to recall...
My kids are spoiled, I did learn that... :-)

one of these was the coolest new toy, but lots of cool thoughtful stuff. dont forget to spare a thought for the less fortunate than us though...
Dec 25, 2005 12:51 pm I bought myself a new laptop...haha. Word to the wise: if you're going to do any gaming on your laptop, spend the cash on the 7200rpm hard drive.
Dec 25, 2005 12:51 pm ditto if you want to use it for audio
Dec 25, 2005 03:42 pm I got an Xbox360 when it came out so I splurged on the wife and kids this Xmas
Dec 25, 2005 03:52 pm I just got back from my inlaws, they gave me HalfLife 2 for my Xbox...SWEET!
Dec 25, 2005 06:30 pm I got ...well... the tracking number for a sektonic L-208 light meter ... I suppose I have to do better than tell people a few days before christmas what I want :)
I got two pairs of shoes which is awsome because the sole are falling off my other pair... and a lot of cloths.
most importantly I got $200 cash :)
Dec 25, 2005 07:51 pm i took all the cloths i received back to the store and exchanged them for CLOTHES
lol
i got some cool stuff. the ability to buy some music software solutions, which i am gonna do. and a gift certificate for humbuckers + install, so i can finally use that black fender. now i am going to have to figure out what kind of pickup arrangement i want, as well as whats high quality but at the same time wont break the bank.
oh yeah and i got RAM but imma have a question about it in another thread real soon, i fear.
Dec 25, 2005 08:13 pm dad got me a Keg-o-rator!!! hehe draft beer at home!!! mom got me a few recording books, one had a dvd in it...and also a mastering book from Bob Katz!
cheers everyone.....i missed uploadin' my christmas songs grr!!! anyway i can't believe i'm checkin' up here haha i can't get away!
Dec 25, 2005 09:38 pm Rode NT1-A, Presonus Firebox, and Apple Logic Express. Better sounding recordings now! woo hoo!
Dec 25, 2005 10:21 pm Nothing for my music but in my other life I'm a car guys so my brother got me a few go fast parts for my Mustang. :) I can hear the race track calling.
Dec 25, 2005 11:28 pm "go fast" parts are always fun... until they "go fast" in different directions...
Dec 26, 2005 01:09 am Well, yesterday I posted that I got a lame fake kerosene heater painted with a nice eagle on it. As I am an eagle freak.
Anyway, I found out today it is not a fake. It is the real thing. Approx. vintage is between 1945 to 1950 I am told. The painter will confrim the date next week. It has a little yellow party buld instaled in it to emulate the heater glowing while burning.
$200.00 from the inlaws which will go toward either Native Instruments B4 II or a nice speaker rig for the drum trigger kit. Might possibly go for a suround system in here though. Cant decide, gonna have to sleep on it.
Dec 26, 2005 05:42 am My favourite present so far has been this miniature harmonica on a keyring that my brother gave me, hanging out with my family was a real highlight too, nice day.
Dec 26, 2005 06:02 am Ahhh...I got a Korg AX10G Guitar floor board, a nice new Behringer Acoustic Pedal and some new Behringer cans...woot!!
So, I gotta go mess with all these. Christmas day was for the kids and the aftermath of finding a home for allt heir toys is going on now...after that, its up the studio for Coco and a'messin wi ma toys!!!!
WOOOHHOOO..
My birthday soon too (mid Jan) so Im gonna get me a nice new keyboard ... maybes a Yamaha PSR175 or something with midi in/out (which is all I use it for) and learn to play properly!!!
Noize, I'll hitting ye up for MIDI advice for this puppy if/when I get it!!
Cheers
Coco.
Dec 26, 2005 06:20 am My Boyfriend is gonna buy me a summer dress in the new year sales :-)
Dec 26, 2005 07:19 am does he know about that yet?
Dec 26, 2005 09:13 am My family ordered me a Mesa Boogie DC5 combo amp off ebay... the genius they bought it from didn't pack it too well and half the tubes busted.
Still, I'm stoked as hell about it.
Dec 26, 2005 09:32 am Thats awesome Hero (well, mostly awesome).
Dec 26, 2005 09:52 pm Not as awesome as previously thought.
I replaced the busted tubes, and the amp's not sounding great. The reverb is busted too... I'm gonna take it in and have a real tech look at it this week...
Dec 26, 2005 10:38 pm Bummer, hopefully it wont be to much to have it taken care of.
Dec 27, 2005 06:30 am Wifey bought me a nice jacket,if I'd got one for myself it would have been cheaper and looked crap.She was pleased with her pressie too.5th series of West Wing.She's a TV fan ideal for a busy ageing local muso! Just changed my valves and had new valve seats fitted,only cost £20,but the old guy that fixes everything are a rare breed and dont like too much attention,(shed dwellers)
Dec 27, 2005 06:37 am the guy who fixes my amps is like that too. he's noisey as hell though, his neighbours hate him
Dec 27, 2005 06:45 am sheds are great! ;-) except when its raining...
Dec 27, 2005 11:25 am For the studio, I got a copy of Cubase SE. I'm pretty excited to get it all configured. I didn't do it yesterday because I also received a 1.75 Liter bottle of Chivas Regal, so I wasn't able to read the getting started manual :)
Other than that, I got a couple of really nice golf clubs, and some much-needed clothes to replace my tattered ones.
I bought my wife a Tivo, so once I get the wireless adapter in the mail, I'll be sharing in that as well.
Dec 27, 2005 11:28 am I got a bunch of random stuff. How about a bottle opener that says "Ayyyyyye, tiempo para una cerveza" when you crack open a bottle. Plus a twelver of XX (Dos Equis) to go with it. Got some money from my dad (laziest gift giver ever). I think I'll prolly spend it on a DVD writer and a 512mb stick of RAM.
Dec 27, 2005 11:34 am No musical anything....
No Mesa Boogie....
New robe (much needed)
DVD's of a bunch of Monty Python films
DVD of Greta Garbo in "Camille" (Greatest movie ever)
Stoneware baking pan (I jest not)
I bought myself a rotisserie attachment for my barbecue.
The best part was I got to spend the weekend with 'er indoors, and my kids. I am the worlds greatest "BC Builders" assembler.
I gave 'er indoors a CD (complete with artwork on the jewel case) of a song I wrote for her. She cried. Hopefully, that should buy me a few more precious, uninterrupted hours in the studio. By the way, the MXL990 mic that I previously was unhappy with was utterly lovely sounding. Must have had the gain staging just right.
Dec 27, 2005 10:28 pm For my B day (the 20th) i got a digitech bad monkey (not too bad and not too noisy). Nothing for the studio for christmas but we recieved a new digital camra (sweet) and a bunch of stuff for the baby from the fam, from our friends it seemed like they felt like they needed to replenish our booze. I think I got at least $300+ of bottles that will collect dust ( my wife and i don't party that much any more and i stick to beer now)
Dec 27, 2005 10:58 pm $300.00 worth of booze for Xmass. I want your friend's.
But then again, I dont party too much anymore either. Except for this new years. Got a bunch of hotel rooms at a nice hotel and we are gathering with a pile of friends and their kids for swimming, drinking, relaxing, drinking, more swimming, drinking. Well ya get the idea.
Dec 28, 2005 09:28 am it's not a whole lot noise ( the cheapest bottle is 50 bux) I do have good friends but i think they're trying to kill me , last year one of the same friends got me a fryer ,and bar tending supplies.
Dec 28, 2005 09:07 pm Even better friends then, they dont buy cheap booze. :-)
But I guess I gota agree. We did slow waaaaaaay down after Tuna was born.
Dec 29, 2005 06:57 am Ah...folks buying ye beer at Xmas!
Ye canny whack it for sure!
My boss bought us all a litre each of Stella Artois (which I CANNOT drink for the Dr Jekyl/Mr Hide scenario) and a round of drinks but aye, its all good to booze out once in a while.
Enjoy...in my cupboard still is 24 cans of beer and a nice bottle of Smirnoff as well as some Glenmorangie single malt!
Coco.
Dec 29, 2005 02:40 pm Stella Artois.....bad stuff, Coco.
I hadn't mentioned that I too got some nice malts. Four nice bottles in the cupboard.
New Year's Eve is going to be a tough one...my "Scotch drinking buddy" has just stocked his cupboard too.....
Dec 29, 2005 02:51 pm I got tequila! But then it got taken away from me.... I love that stuff :-)
Other than alcohol I got:
A powermac G4 w/ 2 gig of RAM
Big Day Out Tickets
New Cell phone
A heap of tools
Money
Muse CD's (yay!)
Books n' DVD's
And new years is gonna be freakin sweet!
