Money and a 320gb harddrive, well I used some of the money to buy it.

I'm also planning to spend the money on an advance combustion.

By silky underwear I hope you mean something for her to wear and you to enjoy, right?

^^ haha good one jack.
The big thing I got this year was a ford expedition (though it technically wasn't a "free" gift), I also got 50 bucks from one set of grandparents which I used to buy parts for my new hybrid, a nice ass set of Bose headphones (the earbud type), and a ton of candy and chocolate.

well i got a pretty nice watch, a kick a$$ wirless mouse for my laptop, some awesome 2.1 speakers for my xbox, £80 from my grandparents :D and a load of chocolate and books and stuff... oh yeah and i made myself a christmas combustion cannon which is nearly finished :)

p.s. december birthdays are the best, i get all the stuff i want (well not all of it) in one month and i have most of the money i'll be given for the year (excluding pocket money etc.) by the end of december which makes it good for buying stuff in the sales :D

Well...i didn't get THAT much for christmas, as my parents often buy me books (Asimov) and give me money to go out, but anyways, for this particular day, i received 150 euros in total, a 1.2 foot tall "nougat" bar , an Opinel carboned steel knife, a wonderful surprise from my friends...
i think with the money i will buy myself the bluray of Sunshine by Dany Boyle, and keep the rest in a safe place ^^ .
I didn't get either a girlfriend or a new brain though...i will continue to ask!

Anyways, hope you all had very enjoyable days ;)

As far as spudding goes I had a soldering iron upgrade to a soldering gun kit and a bit of inspiration while I didn't sleep half the night :)
