I really don't need or want much, and didn't ask for much this Christmas. With that being said, I certainly got what I asked for and then some.

A huge spindle of DVD-Rs, an MP3 player, a very nice watch, several nice articles of clothing, a group of Topps USFL Gamblers cards, and a first edition paperback of Sol Yurick's "The Warriors."

Perfect. No piles of junk this year! :)

The best gift I got was a Nikon D80.....it's a really good camera which costs around $1000. I plan on doing more Braves photography next year, but this time the pictures are even better and I can print out 16x20's. Other than that I got a home theatre system, PSP, and a Digital Photo Frame (to show my photomatches with my collection).


oh....and the state of Georgia sent me an official Jury Summons on Christmas Eve.......what a nice gift from them :D

I bought the Nikon D70 a couple of years ago and it is a great camera. I actually surprise myself with some of the photos I take with it (including NHRA drag racing shots at 300+MPH). The D80 must be even better so I'm guessing you will get some insane photos.

Yes I can't wait until the season starts! For the past year I was using a cheap little $300 Sony camera, yet I was still able to take shots like this:

Kyle - Congrats on the new Nikon !!!

There is an amateur photo buff who has a nice Canon camera and she takes many pics at Nats games.

I have used her photos for photo matches before. She posts on Flickr.com and her website. http://www.misschatter.com/janf/photosets/

I am so envious of you great photographers!!!

That's great, Kyle. I got a Nikon D80 for the holidays two years ago; I've had a lot of fun with it. But I do primarily nature photography (i.e., squirrels and flowers), not much baseball stuff.

My parents bought my brother an iTouch, so they said they'd give me the cash equivalent, which is about $300. Now I have more to spend on the game-used collection!

Merry Christmas!

ok, so it's not an actual gift, but I got to see the joy and a huge smile on my 2 1/2 year old daughters face when she saw the presents "Santa" left her. I never really ask for anything, so that is priceless for me. That said, my wife did catch me off guard me with a new nail gun to replace one that is crapping out.

I stopped asking for stuff when my son arrived 2 and 1/2 years ago.
HE Got:

Train/Train Table, Sit n' Spin, Big Wheel, Soccer/Hockey goals, boxing gloves, walkie talkies, skateboard, guitar, puzzles and kid games, Mr. Potato Head, Clubhouse, Golf clubs...and a bunch of other stuff that I have been playing with for the past 20 hours.

My sis had a baby boy yesterday - and that was a blessing for our family.

I did manage to get a few gift cards to Lowes, Borders and Cabela's - and a new Craftsman drill that I have wanted for a few years. Someone gave me a digital camcorder (for taping the games at Busch next season)...
