Get any cool Christmas presents?

csbrewfisher · 12-26-2008, 10:09 AM

I hope everyone had a blessed day spent with loved ones, and that you'll have fond memories of the day for a long time to come. Hopefully you were able to enjoy a really good cigar too.

Aside from that, did you get any really cool presents? What was your favorite?

Sony BluRay home theater from the folks.
also got some great Kona coffee from Hawaii from the wife, and she had them include a Hawaiian cigar in a wooden tubo! Kinda cool, but for the price she paid for that stick I could have had a CC cohiba

I got an electric flyswatter

I got some other stuff too but that was just funny and awesome

Well, aside from the Monte El Conde tube and RyJ Reserva Real gran toro, I got from my brother-in-law, my kids got me a snow blower. They must have figured that it was worth the investment since THEY would have to shovel the snow if IU had a heart attack.... the only problem is that in the Philly suburbs, getting a snow blower means the rest of the winter will be 38oF and rainy....

Bought the wife and myself a Blu-ray player and a handful of movies. She crashed her van so she got a new front end for Christmas.

Had a blast with my kids and both sides of our extended families are all doing well. Couldn't be much more blessed.

I love the positive vibes from this man!

Oh and not really gift but I enjoyed it very much...the cousins and I played Rock Band for a bit Xmas day and then Team Scrabble!

Thought I'd chime in...

Mrs. Brew had a remote starter installed in my car...work's up to 1000 ft. That was my favorite.

The in-laws gave us a Garmin Nuvi, nice.

A car starter is always good in cold climates...

I got some great stuff from SS too..so I really had a nice Xmas.

I bought myself a new phone, a Samsung G600. I hardly ever use my mobile phone because I have a company phone, but my old private phone doesn't have bluetooth and I have a nice bluetooth headset, so I needed to get a new private phone with blootooth as I am driving a lot. Calling handheld can cost me 170 EUR if I get caught by the police.

I got tickets to see the Cincinnati Reds play an exhibition game down here in NC on April 3rd. I received 4 tickets so I can take my wife and two of the kids.

It seems everyone bought me clothes, so I had to buy myself some nice cigars. I picked up boxes of Padron 80th, San Cristobal Clasicos and Between the Lines.

htown · 12-29-2008, 06:45 AM

shilala · 12-29-2008, 03:47 PM

I got an MRN Encyclopedia and a little tiny remote control helicopter.
They're both SWEET!!!

Opusfxd · 12-29-2008, 08:50 PM

The gf gave me an iPod shuffle which fits right into the waterproof case/earphones my folks got me for swimming.

BroncoHorvath · 12-29-2008, 09:35 PM

I got a beautiful electric fireplace for my office, new winter boots, some clothes from my fiancé, and I got a few cigar collection boxes including a box of 01 HDM Churchills from my best friend...
