Ok, spill it folks, list da loot!
Me:
Virtua Fighter 5 (most excellent)
GRAW2 (not as good as CoD4, but decent)
Lego Star Wars II (original trilogy legos, w00t)
Blade Runner CE on HDDVD
Transformers on HDDVD
Pirates of the Caribean on BD
Casino Royal on BD
JRR Tolkien 4 CD audio collectin (him reading from his books in the 50's).
Couple of books...
Some other stuff, but the crown jewel is a 1/350th scale model of the USS Brooklyn, the ship my grandfather served on in WW2. A model I have been trying to find for 30 years. I love my wife. She gets me the coolest shiznit.
Oh, and I made my wife cry on Xmas morning, I have a new way to judge the efficacy of a present now

Not much for me, mostly money. Though this is the best of the crop:
19" HD TV (providing Mass Effect in HD. Pure awesome)
160GB HD Digital Recorder (also provides me with Freeview channels)
Call of Duty 4
FIFA 07 (since its 20 less than 08 and nothing much has changed between the two)
MS Points so I can get Fable and Halo
Spooks Series 1-3 DVD Boxsets
I'm quite pleased really, though I envy you for that Pirates BD - Monkey Island movies, always good to watch.

That is fantastic, BD. You most certainly must have been a good boy this last year.
I got two pound of coal (anthracite, the good stuff), some sticks, and a bag of sand.
It was a good year, comparatively. Last year there was no coal at all, just a half used can of sterno and a small box of mulch. I was a good boy, too.

Bit disappointed, got neither my manservant nor my nymphomaniac supermodel. Nor did I get a rocket launcher, flamethrower or microlight (which I planned to use in conjunction with the flamethrower to wreak havoc from above). But, did manage a few cool things, including a car GPS system and a bit of cash. Now I can use the GPS to track down a microlight sales office and a place to buy used flamethrowers.

I got a USB key, a pound of 100% Kona Coffee, 2 pez dispensers, the futurama dvd, a new pair of hiking boots, AND the best gift of all from my little brother; a model rocket set, with 12 EXTRA ENGINES.
We had the baby built and assembled in an hour, and were blasting it off outside at a nearby football field. There was no wind so this Patriot missle was going like 1500 feet in the air at a time. After some fun shooting it off at a flock of pigeons (no rats with wings were harmed), and unsucessful attempts at rocket staging, we started launching it at targets set up down field, with the end result of a successful missile strike on an enemy tank (read: discarded refridgerator with a target spray painted on).
