...and probably the oddest one of all, a box of 5 soda bottles.

But not any kind, oh no. These are from the Jones company, and every year they release these holiday-themed drinks. Such tasty flavors are: Turkey & Gravy, Sweet Potatoes, Dinner Rolls, Pea, and Antacid. Even comes with a shot glass.

So far, I'm trying to convince two friends of mine to sit down and take shots of these. Whatever is left, I'm gonna mix into one giant, disgusting coagulation and down it.

[Dhsu]

That's all I can remember for now. I have to go over to my grandparents tomorrow for round two.

Man, getting free stuff is such a chore!

Oh yes, I'd have to agree, I get to wait now for my birthday on friday. Keeping my fingers crossed for a DS.

[Blake]

Getting lots of stuff doesn't mean you're spoiled. To not value your belongings would make you spoiled. If that were the case, there would be one person in the world who really wasn't spoiled because relative to other, less fortunate cultures, we all are spoiled by having a lifestyle stable enough that we can post on an internet forum. Though I like to mention that I AM being spoiled every so often because I'm trying to be modest to the fact that my mom is such a great mom. But a lot of people in these threads probably have a large circle of good friends that have given them presents as well. I got about 7 presents from other family members, and I believe 4 from my friends.

EDIT: oh the presents

100 dollar gift card best buy

HP Pavilion with Athlon 64 Dual Core 4200 and a gig of ram. My comp is archaic compared to this.

Pants

Dress Clothes

A cool hoodie

ten dollar gift certificate to Cold Stone (ice cream restaurant)

And miscellaneous money/ X-mas cards.

[Dhsu]

Star Wars: Guide to Vehicles and Spacecraft

Still the best Star Wars guide in my opinion (although this might be colored a little by nostalgia).

[Dunnowhathuh]

Mini remote control car from a Kris Kringle and 50 bucks. I bought my own Wii but I guess that doesn't count as a gift when it comes from yourself.

[Daniel Rydell]

$210 dollars.

[Fire in the Hole]

ten dollar gift certificate to Cold Stone (ice cream restaurant)

Is that the one where they make it in front of you with dry ice? If so, that's probably worth more in delectability than any of your other presents. Good stuff.

[Jeditrooper]

Star Wars: Guide to Vehicles and Spacecraft

Still the best Star Wars guide in my opinion (although this might be colored a little by nostalgia).

Oh heck yes. It also completes my collection. So all is well.

[RamRod]

That's all I can remember for now. I have to go over to my grandparents tomorrow for round two.

Man, getting free stuff is such a chore!

Tell me about it. I got round three at my brother's house tomorrow as well. And my birthday is in Feb. which is just around the corner. Tis a good season for me.
