I got a boatload of money.  It's nice having rich relatives who want to avoid the tax man.

Kidding, I got a t-shirt and some used popcorn.

I can't wait to try my tabletop turbo convection oven, and my handheld scanner. We also got a ton of gift cards, mostly for Restaurants.

I got a bunch of stuff: (a great pair of slippers, a new black powder revolver, a new pocket knife) but I think my favorite gifts this year are two-fold. First: watching my son and wife open up gifts they weren't expecting to find, and seeing from the look on their faces that I just put one through the x-ring.  Second; enjoying a day wrapped in the peace of my Savior (not always a given, and very welcome this year, after several years without it).

$150 bucks cash, which is nice since I didn't get my last paycheck from the job I quit a few weeks ago.
