Oh I forgot - my inlaws got me a new Norelco Razor. It's very nice with the three heads on it.

Batman Arkham Asylum for PS3

LOVE that game. One of the first I bought when I got my PS3 last night. Already beat it and traded it in, but it's easily one of the best games I've played in the last 10 years. Can't wait for that sequel!

Couldn't sleep huh?

Musicwise: Brainstorm-Memorial Roots
Ordered Hellblade and the new Liberty N Justice with an Amazon gift card.
Cage shirt from Santa ScottMitchell.

Blueberry candles are a rarity?

Well, no; you just have to go to the candle store. I generally avoid malls. Walmart and stuff doesn't have blueberry...uh...flavor?

I rarely buy candles in a store. My girl has a friend that sells candles and all types of vases and stuff for them through a company called Party Lite. I guess they're like the Mary Kay of candles. I just tell her what I want and my girl orders them for me. I really love holiday stuff like pumpkin, forest pine, cinnamon & bayberry, holiday spice, etc. What can I say? I'm a candle freak.



And I haven't had to pay her back for a candle yet...

I like candles too. I actually buy the new Glade candles. They have some great scents.

Two dress shirts

The Office - Season 5!!!

A ceramic T-rex my kiddo made and painted in Raider's colors.

And then TBD once we get to my parents' house in a couple days.


Raises hand as a candle guy. I burn incense at work as well. The dudes on the other shifts stink the place up so I try to make my room smell nice.

My wife bought me a Kiss drawing print. We are going to have it framed.

My mom/dad bought me a few things, Ted Nugent DVD, 3 Inches of Blood CD and the Joey Kramer autobiography.

My son bought me a couple dress shirts

My daughter bought me a Lynyrd Skynyrd calendar and the new Ice Age DVD.

I bought my wife a Sidney Crosby, Pittsburg Penguins jersey, a new robe and some work out cloths.

I don't care all that much about presents. I just enjoy spending time with my family. We always have a good time together, even if it's just chatting or watching a movie.

Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here shirt
Primus-Sailing The Seas Of Cheese shirt
Mini-Marshall stack amp
A set of bass strings (I don't get why bass strings cost so much more than guitar strings. Are they harder to make or something?)
Evil Roy Slade and the newest Harry Potter movie on DVD
KISS and AC/DC wristbands

Shawn wins the prize for greatest present.

Leather recliner as an early co-gift with my wife.

My older son bought me Sonic Boom! I had been slowly purchasing the back catalog from Wally World, but hadn't purchased that yet. He recently got his first job and enjoyed buying his own gifts for all of us.

I'm kind of a gadget guy and my younger son bought me a t shirt that says iDad on it! Made me laugh!

This was the PS3 Christmas for the guys, though!

Depending on the cost and how much i get, i might get an external HDD for my computer but I dunno yet.......

Im just glad Christmas is over I didnt have one iota of christmas spirit this year and every year i feel like i loose a little bit more

I did get my wife a giftcard to Starbucks, I wanted to get her an Ipod but finances didnt allow it -sighs-

I never get music as gifts. I buy to much the rest of the year, and my wife wouldn't even know what to buy.

My stepson got a cool Kiss gymbag from his grandmother though.

My son got a KISS blanket.

My little 10 year old nephew got the new mini-Kiss action figures. He tore those things open in a second and said, "hey look Uncle Scott, I got you!" He still thinks I'm a rock star! LOL! My brothers jaw dropped as he saw the value of the Kiss figures drop as the packaging was tore up and thrown in the garbage. I don't think my mom realized that my brother would have liked them much more than his 10 year old son who is going to throw them in a box of other action figures.

Thin Lizzy - UK Tour '75 (Import)
