Well, the spiffiest thing I got for Christmas was a Gerber multi-tool. :) It could eat a swiss army knife for breakfast...a great thing for a techie to have. The second-spiffiest thing was a nice piece of Clan MacDonald tartan, just the right length for an ardsaidh, and a black silk dress to wear it with.
On another note, I also got a nice trip home. Living six hours away, it's fairly seldom that I see my family...even with Mum's martyr complex and Dad grilling me about my grades, and Charles fighting me for the computer, it was good to be home.
