This year for Christmas I have gotten so far:
a Pink Mini Mag Light, to replace my stolen one. Not sure what I'll get in the morning, I still wait.

Overall I got lots of nice things I didn't expect :)

I'm jelly.

So far I got Dr. Ron Paul's book "The Revolution: A Manifesto". Waiting a bit to open up the rest of my stuff, here's hoping the people around me picked up the subtle hint that if I got a MLP toy, I wouldn't be disappointed ;)

Can't install it till I find a suitable computer (netbook's too small), but X-Plane runs like a fish in marmalade (yeah guess what you forgot)... you get my text (o2 signal is playing up)?

Got it and replied as soon as it arrived. Strange.

I was reading this thread, saw "FSX", first thing I thought was "inb4soulman" :P

One of the upshots of a divorce is your parents need to upstage each other (as well as the 'pity' everyone feels for the 'poor kids' whose parents divorced), so I got quite a lot of cool stuff.

$115 cash
$35 RadioShack gift card
"Killing Lincoln" by Bill O'Reilly (my grandparents... facepalm)
Some cool little knick-knacks
A sata/ide-USB adapter and power adaptor
multitool
simply the coolest precision screwdriver set the world has ever seen
CHOCOLATE!
"The bathroom LOL book: A royal flush of jokes, quotes, and anecdotes"
The softest damn pillow ever. Oh, and it's Pinkie Pie. You are all jelly.
From my mom, a Velocity Cruz T103 android tablet. MIPS processor @ 800MHz, 256mb of RAM, capacitive multitouch screen, Android 2.2, and it came with a 4GB and 8GB SD card. Absolutely fantastic device (great battery life, too).

And I still have to open the stuff from my dad >_>

$300 gift card to a nearby audio/video shop (to get my Kia a well-deserved remote starter - Upstate NY is freezing!), two $25 gas station cards, and a metric f*ckton of clothes for work.

And I bought myself a Motorola Lapdock for the ATRIX4G. For $99, even by itself a good steal - it's an HDMI display, USB hub/keyboard/mouse, and it's got a built in battery. Sure, a bit of hackery to use it for the display and inputs, but a really nice portable setup for repairs and whatnot on the go. I'll probably pick up a spare VGA to HDMI adapter too - I don't have a working VGA monitor and this would fit the bill quite nicely.

Its 14C (57F) here which this time of year it should be at least below freezing, last year it was -4C (24F) and frosty, weathers really warmer than normal this year.

Back to subject. I got: Diary from Dixie book (Mary Chestnut's Diary from her life in Confederate states during American Civil War), Camera lens filters for use with my DSLR cameras, Digital weather station (tells everything except wind speed and direction which would be useful), x2 different chocolate things, deodorant, underwear, saving stuff and a shirt that is too small to fit me.

You mean, you are going to buy X-Plane 10… Right?

Or am I missing something? Is X-Plane 10 a free upgrade?
