I woke up this morning. That's a present every day. :jump:

No, really, all the family is out of town, except my better half and I. We are just enjoying a rare day together, and remembering the reason for the season.

Merry Christmas, All:wavey:

I got my new tripod a week or so ago, plus 200 bucks from my parents today that's going towards my 100-400 lens!

Woooooooo! :jump:

Hmmm...

I got a few very nice informational books and subscriptions to Warbirds and Airchair General. One of those neat little RC helos (the cheap ones, but all the same because I can't fly any of them and this one seems to fly real well). A couple of games (one of which unfortunately does not run and is bargainware), some candy and lots of clothes.

I certainly cannot complain.

Those little RC choppers are pretty cool once you get used to how to fly them!
Needless to say our dogs figured out that they should leave the room during flight training :icon_lol:

edit: It helps to read the original post, I suppose.

Oddest present was this, http://www.panthervision.com/3-led-power-cap-in-various-colors-and-styles-item.html

I can't see myself wearing it anytime in the near future, or my life for that matter.

I was wondering why everyone had such odd presents, I guess I figured it was a European thing ;)

I thought this thread was about odd presents? I'd just like to make it clear for those that might have missed this point, I wasn't boasting about my Cheese Mill. :d

It's not unusual for this group, but to most other people a flightsim product is. Mine is the pmdg 747-400x Queen of the Skies. Lot's of reading to do for getting it from cold and dark to flying.:jump:

I treated myself to FSX Go, but the oddest present is probably the approx 10 lbs of home made candy and fudge that magically appeared this afternoon. I would post more details but I am too busy making it disappear. In broad terms, chocolate and various kinds of adult beverages are featured ingredients.:applause:

the oddest gift i got was the number 3


















no, actually, i did get 3 chinese dvds and one from japan. i can't read what their names are, but i'm pretty psyched about watching them. the japanese one is horror, the 3 chinese ones are martial arts/action flicks.

I got a wonderful book about the restoration of Spitfire Mk.1 "AR213", called "Spitfire - The One". And also got a DVD called "The Vulcan Effect" from Planestv.com, and Flying Legends 2009 on DVD. I also received Sony Vegas 9, which is a firm favourite, and with fraps too, I should be able to start making some decent FSX movies. That is, of course, once my FSX is working again

Depends on how hungry you are, and if you like your foods cooked, and I do! Great gift.

Happy Holidays fella's.
