A couple of games for the Nintendo DS...couldn't be happier

I got enough money to buy myself a new 160 GB hard drive for my laptop. I also gave myself the present of registering my Infiniti for the first time since I replaced the engine.

The best gift of all was that I'm of good health and was able to be home and spend Christmas with family and relatives and seeing everybody so happy....I really couldn't ask for more.
In terms of material gifts, I got a couple books, classical music cd's (Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, Bach, and Reinecke), some dress clothes, and also some money. |

I got the ususal "stuff" but the two best gifts were a bracelet from my daughter and certificate from my sister-in-law that two toys had been donated in my name to the Toys for Tots. Makes me feel good that some kids who aren't as fortunate as my kids had a better day.

I forgot to mention... I got two seasons of the show Corner Gas... it's coming to US television soon... if you like dry humor, check it out... it's filmed in a small town about 40Km from where I live.
