We all know Christmas is about love, and family, and goodwill, slave-driving hours, and horrible, horrible customers and all that jazz.

But c'mon.

What'd you get?

I goooot:

• A replica Time Turner in a wood display case
• An annual pass to Universal Orlando
• An Omnioscope (think sports binoculars for Quidditch)
• A Sodastream home soda maker
• A 1upcake t-shirt from Ben from the Secret Santa exchange
• A Wal-mart gift card
• A bag of Stollen bread, chocolate truffles, and imported German cookies from work
• Monies

Yaaaaay~

Now you.

'Tis the season for unbridled avarice!

• Vidjamagames (Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rayman Origins, Kirby: Return to Dreamland, Donkey Kong Country Returns)
• A couplah CD's and DVDs I've beem meaning to get, most notably the first season of Rocko's Modern Life
• Five T-shirts (two My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, one Doctor Who, one Zero Punctuation, one XKCD)
• Stuffed animal-esque things (Three GiantMicrobes, one Gloomy Bear, and two Lovecraft creatures [Nyarlothotep and a Gug, because the fine people at ToyVault are sick, sick monkeys)
• Hufflepuff cloak from Mie from the Secret Santa exchange
• A packaged deck of original Gen-II-era Japanese Pokemon cards (with a holographic Lugia, about which I am inordinately happy)
• New headphones

And of course the crown jewel of the entire haul
