I got a few gift certificates which is always cool and some of my favorite perfume.. :teeth: Yet I think the best part was seeing my little great Nephew who is only 1 as of the 11th and watching his eyes light up with all the cool toys he got... :diver:

I got some great gifts but by far the best has to be the Reef Fish Identification CD ROM I got. It's similar to the book by Paul Humann & Ned Deloach which I already have but the CD ROM has these great learning games on it. I've already spent hours playing them and although I was already good at ID fishing I'm getting even better. I'd recommend this CD to anybody who likes to ID fish much much better then the book version. Thanx Santa

The best Christmas present this year... finally getting to dive with Xiaoyan. Or was it the summer kimono embroidered with Dr. Bill that she brought?

The worst present this year... not developing a romantic link with Xiaoyan?? No, the tsunami in southern Asia (it did happen on the 25th didn't it, or was it the 26th here?). A disaster of that scale, and affecting an area I've spent time in, was fairly personal to me especially since people I met while there died (fortunately most were safe).

My best Christmas present was having Scotland for the entire weekend. Even though he had to drive all the way back to Garland to work all night, he drove back to my parents house in South Arlington to spend Boxing Day with us.

Other than that it was a three Stephen King xmas. I got the Dark Tower 5 on CD and DT6 and DT7 on treeware. WooHoo!

I get the impression you picked a much better woman this time, and I think you won't need to use it.

The best Christmas present I got was all my family and friends being safe and sound. Not only did our friends in Iraq make it thru the holidays...but last year my then 1 year old niece pulled scalding gravy on top of herself not but 2 minutes before Christmas dinner was to be served. Most of the night was spent in the emergency room but I had a great deal of comfort knowing that she was being looked after by the finest burn doctor in Texas...one of the finest in the US and certainly the finest EVER on a Christmas Day. He was in fact one of our Red Wet and Blue family members and yes...soon to be a SD member...Dr. Gary Purdue.

As for this year...well she still pulls EVERYTHING she can get her hands on to her self...but so far no more burning liquids! :wakawaka:
