Uh, gee, I...didn't really keep tabs on what I got and I didn't get...too caught in the moment, I guess...and now that I've put it all away, I swear I'm going to be forgetting a few things...

But let's see...

-Ice and snow grip thingies that you can put over your shoes, I guess so you can turn every pair you wear into snow shoes. I'll have to try them out on my Sunday shoes, seeing that I walk to church...
-Two Hankerchiefs that my younger sister helped my mom to make, reportedly...
-Various clothing articles, like socks, underwear...
-Battery powered alarm clock
-Bike lock for a used bike I obtained 'bout a month ago
-Various candy
-"Rakkety Tam", a book.
-"The Dimwit's Dictionary", a dictionary that lists out overused terms when writing, and should prove useful for my own writing.
-A Star Trek Original Series communicator key chain that actually chirps when you open it, among other things. Added it to my collection of Star Trek memorabilia.
-An electric razor, as I figured shaving with that would be faster and more convenient than with a regular razor.
-And a few other more practical items that my parents have given me, looking out for my future as they always are. :)
-Also want to mention that while this gift went to the whole family and not just me, we also got a few movies, including "Star Trek".  8) Which I've already watched. Again. :P

I think that's everything. If not, I probably covered it in one of those generalizations in that list. :P

Got them a Wii, ay?  Nice.  Our 11-year old saved his paper route money and bought his own Wii a couple weeks ago.  Now nobody asks me why we don't have one.  ;)

I actually did quite well this year, especially if I include what I was given at work.

- 5 bags (12.6 oz) of M&Ms (variety of Dark or Milk Chocolate, Peanut and regular)
- 2 M&Ms dispensers (M&M Military Vehicle (example link), Nutcracker (2009 Limited Edition, lousy pic example link)
- Hickory Farms Beef Summer Sausage  (add some Sweet Hot Mustard)
- New socks
- New pajamas (custom made by the loving wife)
- SanDisk Sansa Clip 1gb MP3 player (Link to an example)
- DueNorth Everyday Traction Aids (Link to an example)
- Dark Chocolate Orange
- A Star Trek (STOS) keychain communicator (small, on a keychain) just like Scyphi's
- A leather bound copy of "Jesus The Christ" (info link, in depth study of the life of Christ)
- HP Color LaserJet CP2025n printer (info link, this a gift from work  8))

The Family got a couple games, a couple movies ("Star Trek" which Scyphi already mentioned, and also Disney/Pixar's "Up"), some orange sticks, and some chocolate covered mints.

And they each got a game for DS, too. And some Lego kits, too.

And my 11 year old just got his first job. (sorta) Walking a dog 3 times a day, half hour each time.

I realized I left two things off my list.

- "Star Trek" paperback novelization of the new movie
- A new winter coat (actually a pretty nice one for the price)

Agreed on Metroid, that's one of their favorites on the DS. Not sure which version of metroid they have.

XD @ the pic!

The only versions for Metroid for the DS would be the highly not acclaimed Metroid Prime Pinball and Metroid Prime Hunters. I love Hunters!
