As a shared gift, my younger sis and I got a Wii with Wii Sports and also then Indiana Jones Wii game (not the Lego one, the other one).

As for me specifically, my little sis gave me the Planet of the Apes Blu-Ray boxed set, some friends gave me the blu-rays of the Land of the Lost movie, Drag Me to Hell, and the new Harry Potter. Also from friends, I received the complete Nightmare on Elm Street DVD set, a Ratatouille action figure, a Star Wars action figure, and the Blu-Ray of Black Christmas. From my older sis, I got an Amazon.com gift card, and from my boss I got an American Express gift card (which I already used to get Looney Tunes Golden Collections 1 and 2 and Kim Possible Stitch in Time). From my parents, I got a pair artist pallet ornaments and Justice League the Complete series on DVD. From my grandparents I received 25 dollars. So, yeah, ha, it was a pretty good Christmas! And, today I did some day after Christmas shopping for myself. Got the Snow Parson action figure from the Frosty's Winter Wonderland series (it was the only one I needed of the basic figs) and some half price Hallmark ornaments (Belle, Hannah Montana, Twilight Zone, Christmas Vacation RV, and Star Wars Episode 1 Lightsaber Battle), plus 4 DVDs from Big Lots.

Received . . .
  • Several new shirts (yay, I've been in need of new clothes!)
    A new swimsuit (which I picked it before Christmas actually since I really needed to replace my old one but still counting it as a gift), it's black and has silver skulls all over it :D
    A waterproof case and headphones for my iPod Shuffle (so now I can listen to music while swimming laps in the pool!)
    An air compressor (I'd like to start airbrushing again)
    A fuzzy blanket
