Well i am inspired here to make a topic about what you guys got for Christmas pertaining to spudding. I was inspired to do this because of a gift i got.

I got clothes and money (which will be used to buy parts for a advanced combustion cannon), candy and other stuff. But it wasnt until i came home and my mom said that there is something in the garage that is covered by a blanket that inspired me to make this topic. And what was under the blanket you might ask?

Well it was an Air Compressor! :D

So share your gifts :)

I got a 7"x12" mini metal lathe, a big metal tool cabinet with wheels and ball bearing drawers, a complex swiss army knife, speakers for my Xbox 360, a new computer, Call of Duty 4, a nice set of allen wrenches and a wrench holder for more torque, a set of drill bits and a magnetic drill bit extender, a nice maple bench top, guitar hero 3, a set of tools for my dremel, a "cat-a-pult" (thing used to fire little plastic kitties up to 15 feet... kinda a gag gift, but still cool 8) ), a calendar type thing, iHome speakers, a wallet with $100 in it, $150 from grandparents, and a 22" monitor.

I did not ask for so many things this year (lathe, speakers, call of duty 4, and swiss army knife), but somehow I feel santa passed over my house four, maybe five times :shock: ... but im not complaining :wink:

I got money, a nice Puma pullover, some PJ's so I don't freeze to death, el cheapo r/c jeep (I'm thinking mobile mini electric turret or something until I start the robot.) I gave myself a Kobalt ASA tank reg for 60 plus the 10 dolla warranty. I also gave myself a bad@$$ BBMG vortex rifle. Team Fortress 2 is suppose to be added to my steam acount courtesy of a friend. I have plenty already though, I don't have enough tool boxes lemme put it that way, and not enough batteries for all the micrometers and calipers.

I received a dremel and a mitre saw..woo
Also a couple of other random things.
My main present was hang gliding which I did last holidays.
Haven't got a present from my dad, so I think I am going to ask for an air compressor....
Since my birthday is coming up I might get some more tools. :)
