What did you get for christmas :D
I'll start off. This year, i got a good haul. I got an xbox 360, a sharp aquos 32 inch, a new printer, a nice computer speaker set ( philips, very stylish looking ), and a cheap little camera which sucks but it could come in handy if i need to take a fast shot of something. i also got guitar hero 2 which is pretty sick, but i beat it on medium in a few hours, and i'm not good enough to play hard with the guitar yet 
. I also got COD 4, but i got that a while ago.
Yup, it's been a nice haul.

On topic: I got some books, some unusual chocolate-free candy (I love candy but not chocolate so much), and various other low-key items. I gave wine. Which reminds me: if you're thinking about joining a wine club, try the one offered by K&L (klwines.com). It's great, and all the wines I bought were ones I had tried or were recommended. Around here, basically the wine capital of the western hemisphere, K&L are quite well regarded.
Anyway, under the banner of Christmas gift-giving, I'm probably going to buy myself a new iPod (Nano or Touch ... depends on my soon-to-be experience at the local Apple Store) and a brown/brown-ish suit. About a year ago I decided that I am going to stop wearing black clothes, so there's some amount of wardrobe revitalization at hand.
The wife and I decided our gift would be a swimming pool and hot tub. It's still in the process of being installed.
PATS - UNDEFEATED SEASON!! w00t!
I got my xmas gift a couple minutes ago....

Cough cough. . . engineered.
The NFL is worse than Italian soccer.
I don't know what i got yet. We headed out of town for X-mas and left all the gifts at home. I came back today but the wife and kids don't come back for a week and a half. I'll have to find out in the new year.
Rich-Myster you do sound like a spoiled rich kid.

He's a kid.
Let's leave it at that.
I got an Oreck. My life is getting increasingly boring. Yes, I did actually ask for it. Although I did get cooking-pot envy when I waltzed through the fire-orange Le Creuset collection at Willams Sonoma. Even the impractical tagines looked amazing given that only Alton Brown ever alerted me to their existence during several episodes of Iron Chef. I also got a stainless steel sauté pan, a Kenneth Cole watch, Spyder synthetic underwear, and a Vermont family ski trip my brother and I paid for. Not much besides that. I am really getting old.

Have your friends started getting married yet? You now can figure out why: boredom.
As for pots & pans, the Le Creuset ones are really nice to look at, but the $10/piece Lodge iron cookware performs about as well. If you have a gas stove, though, mass isn't as important. Good luck with the Oreck. All the cool kids are using Dysons now.

Pot and pans and synthetic underwear...
ugh the guys of our high school lunch table have for the most part remained happily, dorkily, unattached.
Only one of my high school friends is married. A lot of my college friends are married, though. It's eerie when you start getting christmas cards sent by the wives.

On the contrary, i'm not rich at all. I am getting my own place in 2 months and my familly is just setting me up. If i was rich i wouldn't work haha.

"Rich kid" means your parents are rich and not you. You should sell all that crap and save the money to buy a place. Now is the best time to buy. If you ask your parents they'll give you the down payment.
I don't see what's so bad about having rich parents.
By saying, I'm not rich, i mean my family isn't rich. My parents are not rich, we live in a shitty apartment. If anything we're just below medium class, but not low class. My grandfather is the rich one. Once again, if my parents were rich, i wouldn't be working.
I take pride in being a non-high class person who has a nice tv and gaming system. But the truth of the matter is, i'm not spoiled, i got it for christmas and i would not get anything like what i got any other time of the year, except possibly for my birthday.
And just to clear things up, i'm not a kid, in canada i'm an adult at 18, but i guess seeing as i'm 17 i'm not an adult. But i'm not a kid. The term kid is very insulting in fact.

Still, having rich parents is a good thing, I would say.
I also wouldn't be too insulted by the term "kid." Everyone was an 18 year old kid at some point. There are just a few bitter people out there who like to rain on any given parade. I think you can quite easily figure out which posters these are.
Where are you going to be working?
