My wife and I didn't exchange much in the way of gifts. We usually decide to spoil the youngling.
She did, however, buy me a giant can of beer. I've already posted it in the other Christmas thread, but one can never post too many images of giant beers:

I also got my expected gifts of socks, underwear, and a new toothbrush. It just ain't Christmas without those things.
This year I decided to splurge and buy myself a few gifts. Tomorrow is Boxing Day in Canada, which is roughly equivalent to Black Friday in the US. Every major retailer puts tons of stuff on sale for ridiculous prices.
Working retail myself, I won't be caught dead in a store on Boxing Day so I decided to shop online. Most online stores started Christmas Eve, which was perfect for me.
I bought a new video card. XFX GeForce 7900GS XT for $69.99 after rebate. It's time to put the trusty old 7600GS to rest.

I also bought a 2-pack of 2GB SD memory cards for $25. I needed a new one with at least 2 GB capacity, so a two-fer was great. One goes in the memory card reader to stream Divx/Xvid to my TV, and one goes in the Wii for future use.
