Had in-laws over for Christmas. Which, unlike all the sitcoms out there, I loved. I enjoy my parents-in-law's company. For Christmas, I got some small things I've been wanting. The big gift was a new subwoofer for my surround sound system. The old was part of a 5.1 package set I bought, jeez, 15 years ago. It was never great. I just asked for a monoprice one because a) I'm no audiophile, and b) they were on sale (though the shipping was insane).
But I guess the biggest thing I got, I bought for myself. I got sick of my Mini's crap. The water and oil pumps were going, and the car only had about 45000 miles/7 years on it (I live near work--would bike if I relished the idea of death by car). Anyway, I bought a used jeep wrangler in one of those end of year deals that are totally worth waiting until the last week of december for. My last car was a wrangler, and I never had a moment's trouble out of it. And when I did, it didn't require disassembling half the engine to fix like the mini did. Gas usage isn't great, but again, I live near work. So win.

Oh, I didn't have that fantastic of a Christmas.
I just:
1. Spent it in Arizona for the first time ever;
2. Spent it with family for the first time in years; and
3. Got myself and my wife a new (to us) home for Christmas.*
* - Okay, we actually put the offer in on Boxing Day, but it counts...
