Best present ever is what I got this year, a Nook Color, it's my first e-reader.

I'm currently rooting it so I can put a bunch of apps on it that were never intended to be there.

lol, we did but we got a plethora of new members who can chip in. its the holidays so this is a nice thread to revisit.

I just realized it's the same thread!

For some reason this year was my best Christmas in a long time, and not just because of the gifts. Everything went smooth. I think going to jail really made me put things in perspective and not sweat the small stuff. In turn, I appreciated every single gift I got that much more. My woman was great, she went all out and got me a ton of stuff. Clothes, cologne, sneakers, the nook, it was all with a lot of love and thought put in, really great.

As a kid, my favorite Christmas gift was this race track, the one with the little remote you have to regulate the speed, I didn't expect it, I didn't think anyone knew I wanted it, and I woke up and it was under the tree. My uncle got it for me. It was extra special because I was away from my mom and dad who were still in the war in Yugoslavia, I was 6 year old and without my parents, my first Christmas away from them, and to get this racetrack really made me forget for a while, I had a blast even putting it together with my uncle, although I think I drove him crazy with my incessant whining to hurry up; the poor guy could hardly get breakfast and coffee made.
