..and she saved the best for last, told me she had been socking money away in a secret bank account, and got me the Alien Quadrilogy with her savings. What a gal.

I did well, as my mom still spoils me beyond what she should.

I got:

-Grand Moff Tarkin Bust...  I friggin' love this thing!  It is the EXACT replica of Tarkin, right down to his white undershirt on his uniform...  This is the FIRST Tarkin to be the correct color of grey too.  For anyone who wondered what color his Tunic is, check out this bust...  I know this has been a point of debate.

-A replica of Jesse James' Revolver and Wanted Poster...  Weird, I know, but my name actually is Jesse James, and so I've got a weird collection of actual things from the James Gang's past...  I have a reprint of one of his wanted posters already but now I have a 2nd which is the more commonly seen/known one...  The replica of his revolver is exact, even in weight and it still has a functioning action.  This is a nice stand-in till I'm able to afford the real thing...  That's a ways off, but this really was a surprise one for me and I'm digging it. :)

-TONS of delicate sculpting and modeling tools...  My mother really went all out and got me a ton of professional Jewler's, Sculptor's, and Modeler's tools for  my customizing endeavours.  Some much needed diamond-files especially.  I'm really appreciative of that kinda stuff.

-2 walkin' & sparkin' Dinosaurs...  Anyone have those as a kid?  Wind-up Dino's that walked and shot sparks out their mouth?  My mother found 2 and bought them for me...  :)  Dumb to most, funny as hell to me...  They found a lovely home in my Cantina next to the "Toht" guy from Raider's of the Lost Ark, and a Trandoshan custom I did once.

-Chocolate...  Love real peanut butter cups from this place around here, and got some of those...  MMMMMMMMMmmmmmm

-Halo PC...  Played it some, and then got on here. :)

-Cashmere Sweater...  I admired it from afar at Express, and now it's mine!  Now who is the sweater master around here huh?  Eh, it's still Matt, who am I kidding?

-Long-Sleeve Orange County Choppers Tee and skullcap...  Love them bikes JJ makes, though I'm more a WCC kinda guy myself as far as the show I enjoy. :)

-Few Powertools...  *grunt grunt grunt*

-Socks...  Ah, I recall chucking these aside as a child, but now it's a real treat to get "Wigwam" socks.  Damned if these things haven't become impossible to find, yet my mother managed to get me 2 pair.  I'm good for another couple years!

-All the year's Holiday Ornaments from Hallmark...  Love the TIE Fighter if you haven't seen it.  Just a great sculpt.

So I made out pretty well and it's not over cuz I'm running to my friend's house for us to exchange some gifts and I'm sure she got me some nice things.  

Been a fun day, and I've had the luxury of being home ALL day and doing nothing.  Gotta love it...  :)  I just dread going back to college now since it's the next "big thing" coming up, blah.

I'll just copy & past the explanation of Boxing Day from the Canadian Heritage site for ya.  ;)

Boxing Day:

The day after Christmas, the Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, is better known as Boxing Day. The term may come from the opening of church poor boxes that day; maybe from the earthenware boxes with which boy apprentices collected money at the doors of their masters' clients.

Nowadays, we often see, in certain families, gifts (boxes) given to those who provide services throughout the year.

"Boxing Day" is listed in the Canada Labour Code as a holiday.

This is also known as the mega shopping day as most everything goes on sale.   ::)  
I guess you would say it would be like the day after your Thanksgiving, Black Friday.

From the wife:
-Alien Quadrilogy
-Sweater, shirt and socks (she's always looking out for my fashion sense ;))
-Lego Mosaic that when done will spell "Star Wars".  Basically, you send a picture to Lego and they'll design a mosaic of it.  She picked the familar Star Wars logo and made a frame for it.  I'll try to post a pic of it when its finished.

From the in-laws:
-$50 Borders GC
-$70 Best Buy GC
-tie in the "Davidson" plaid
-Golf grab bag w/ tees, balls and towel
-Cooking supplies

From the grandparents and aunts/uncles:
-Cash
-Clothes

From the parents:
-Clothes
-Cash

From the siblings:
-$90 Best Buy GC

All in all, not too shabby.  I've always been blessed when it comes to Xmas.  

Today, I think we're heading out to spend some of the GCs and dinero.
