What was the best thing that you got for the holiday's?

I got a horseshoe money clip from my parents that was inscribed "31 Lengths".
And the new puppy, of course ( see the post under "off topic").

1.) Culture Warrior by Bill O'Reilly
2.) A 1000-piece Bill O'Reilly jigsaw puzzle (Jordan and I wonder if anyone else in America actually goes to the Bill O'Reilly webstore and buys the jigsaw puzzle...)
3.) A 24-pack of the South's most delightful treat that does not start with "Fried" and end with "Chicken"...Cheerwine.
4.) Wanda Sykes's new DVD
5.) A hand-written sticker from Paula Poundstone, my favorite recovering alcoholic and probably my new favorite comedian, that reminds me that I am the coolest person ever and that nobody in the future will probably ever be as cool either -- a sticker that will go in the book that is still on the way to me!

This might sound a like "sappy" but my stepdaughter got me this little Barbaro
"Beanie Baby" from this year's Kentucky Derby. It different than the other Kentucky Derby one that they put out. This one has the "8" saddle cloth and the tag has his name & date.
Besides that;
Pittsburgh Steelers gear (like I don't have enough already!)
The Roddy Piper dvd - Born to Controversy
and $$$ from my dad, which will come in handy on Thursday when I make my first visit to the Big A, I've been to Belmont for all the Breeder's Cups
so I'm looking forward to some "Inner-track" action!

An ipod shuffle. I used to listen to ATRAB during my drive home from work (on my Sirius car radio), but since I've moved out to the 'burbs, I've been on the train when the show comes on. Now, I can download the podcast and listen on the train.

Oh yeah...and a genuine rubber chicken. Don't know how I got along all these years without one.

I got that too!

I also got a white gold & diamond horseshoe necklace that is very spark-lee. The new Man O' War book, the DRF 2006 Almanac, racing calender, bottle of Chianti and a whole slew of ornaments, wine stoppers etc. from Saratoga gift shops.

More importantly though, I had my best Christmas ever.

The best present I ever got was this year. My oldest daughter and my 2nd oldest daughter bought a photo album and put together a family photo album. It was BY FAR the most thoughtfull and best x-mas present I have ever received.

I also got to see my wife read a book we got the 2nd oldest daughter for x-mas. There is just something that makes me happy when I watch my wife read to our children.

my hubby spoiled me this year.
bob and toms newest collection, man boobs. two ps2 games, madden 07 and civil war. and i got my 24th and final book to complete the t'bred legends series.
but i must admit, my favorite thing he got me is this shiny ring on my finger. he got me one of those past present future diamonds. i'm no jewelry person, a silver band was all i wore (9.94 from wal-mart) but that is no longer the case! it's a beauty.

A gift certificate from my girlfriend's oldest boy to a little dive bar/restaurant with instructions that it is to be used with him, not his mother, for an upcoming Bear's playoff game. This is one awesome kid.
