From my lovely wife and my son I got a TomTom 325 SE GPS system.  I’m sure my wife was thinking it would go nicely with my new car that I bought this summer, and she was correct.  It looks great and it works great.

I also received some random, non-techie stuff.  My Dad, for some reason, decided to get all of the guys a set of stubby tools for our toolboxes.  So I now have a stubby hammer, a stubby cresent wrench, and a stubby screw driver.  Very funny, and actually pretty practical too.  I’ve already used the screw driver on a household project. 

Of course I also received cash.  You can never really go wrong with cash.  It’s the perfect gift.  With it I got my family a long awaited Costco membership, and I bought myself a bunch of clothes for the gym and a couple of nice shirts for work.

Gotta go.  My wife is freaking out because I posted some pictures on Facebook that I took with my new camera from Christmas morning… something about her in her pajamas or something…  Merry Christmas!
