Here is what I got for Christmas.

From Other People
Here are the things I got from other people for Christmas:

  • From my sister: A $25 gift certificate to amazon.com. This is an excellent gift. I have credited the $25 to my account and will, the next time I make an amazon.com purchase, use that credit. I make, on average, an amazon.com purchase every four days. 
  • From my father: A $25 gift certificate to Cabelas. This is also an excellent gift, because now I know exactly what to get my father for Father’s Day. Which is to say, I will send this card back to my father on Father’s day. He will like it a lot.
  • From my company: A $250 bonus, of which $180 was direct deposited into my checking account.

Apparently, my company — which I have not quit, thanks for asking — likes me five times as much as my family.

From Myself
Here is what I got myself for Christmas:

  • Mac Pro (Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon)
  • Both Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and AirPort Extreme
  • Two 16x SuperDrives
  • 750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
  • Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse
  • 8GB Memory
  • 750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
  • 4 x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB
  • 2 30″ Apple Cinema Displays

This cost me a little more than $11,500.00, and should be arriving before the end of the year. I suppose you could say my credit card took quite a hit.

Also, you could say I like myself 230 times more than my family does.
