13" MacBook Pro Unibody Early 2010 - From my girlfriend, originally got an 11" Air, but I wasnt a huge fan of it based on price and capabilities. She gave this to me a couple of weeks early.

I got nothing for Christmas. That's right. I said nothing. I did get to try Goose for the first time though. All in all, a good day.

iPhone 4 for both me and the girlfriend. We decided to consolidate our phone bills, and FaceTime was a primary deciding factor for her. Decided to keep it light on the gifts this year with the addition of a new car, apartment/furniture, and a puppy.

I gave allot but only received a cold as well as a " Best uncle in the whole world." Keychain from my niece and a box of puffy mint candy from my nephew. I guess I was on the naughty list.

Did you get the lights at IKEA too? Looks good!

Yes, the lights were Ikea as well. They come in sets of four. So one package will light up four cubes. Had to purchase 4 sets for this shelf.
Also, the lights can be one of about seven colors. Or you cam make it transition. :)

Man, at $49.99 a pop, you dropped some money on those things! They look awesome though. Do a three-click for each one, one after the other, and you'll get a SWEET looking fade transition between the four rows.

Kindle Free 3G + Wifi version... was only expecting the wifi version, and was pleasantly surprised. :)

Other than this... I got a safe and Blur for Xbox 360. Oh, and Santa had my full carry pistol permit delivered in the mail Christmas Eve! (hence the safe)

Overall, good, lean Christmas. I didn't get stuff I didn't need. So glad as to have not had my loved ones waste their money on unnecessary items.

Can you show us how you managed the cables? I'm totally going to copy this in the future as it looks so awesome. :)

I have each set going down a column. Right now, I just carefully routed the wires around the back and being held by tape. I'm picking up some wire management stuff from Home Depot so it will look cleaner.
But unless someone looks at the back, you really cannot see the wires.

...and switched to all white. :)

An early gift from my parents.
One of my gifts was the bowl game that you were watching. First SDSU bowl win in many years. It's too bad the Chargers didn't follow suit...

Anyways, Christmas presents! My main gift was a nice Citizen eco-drive watch from my girlfriend. I also got cash, a nice bottle of scotch and a cool little toy RC chopper to supplement the four channel one I already have. Had some fun times buzzing the pet cat!

What kind of lights? I am totally doing this.
