Figured I would start a thread about our presents this year!

Given the only things I want for the NSX are outrageously expensive I opted for a less pricey gift list.

Got into riding quads this year pretty heavily ( have a 2006 KFX700 Vforce ) that I got earlier this year and it was flawless.. Literally. Didnt look like it had been ridin at all..

After this year I am hoping for full skid plates,air filter, exhaust for it. OEM skid plates aren't up to par for me.


There is mine..

GO:
 
My Christmas present from work.

I work for a good company:biggrin:
 
Shoyoroll "The Yank" BJJ Gi- on pre-order. (Jiujitsu Uniform) and a pair of spare Shoyoroll pants.
Oakley Judge II (watch)
Redline Forklifter handlebars for my 89 Dyno D-Tour Project.

My wife got me GT5, and Black Ops, along with Seasons 1 and 2 of "Flight of the Conchords" from HBO.

Best friend got me a Tap Out "Arrogant American" Hoodie as a joke (I loath Tap Out) but then I put it on and I actually I like it. My hypocrisy is complete...

Another buddy gave all the guys in our crew Apple TV- I think he must have had a good year. I have a little guilt as all we got them were Christmas cards...

My Mother in law got me a gift certificate for private lessons at Easton BJJ again. This is an awesome gift as I just got my 4th stripe on the 23rd, and now will be spending the next 5 months prepping for blue belt promotion.

My wife and I gave each other a little get-a-way on the weekend of the 18th. I rented a condo up at Keystone and we went Snowboarding for the day on Saturday.

Good stuff, but take it all away and I am most grateful that we finally had a drama-free year. 09 was so terrible. We found out my wife had cancer, and had to have surgery to get that removed. Then we lost my Grandmother. then I got laid off for several months and had to take a job I wasn't really keen on in order to support my family. I'm just glad to have passed through 2010 with a better outlook- Wife and Daughter are in good health, I picked up a hobby that has changed my whole outlook on life, and now I am back in the saddle managing projects with a strong salary to support my household.

Things are good. I wish the same for you and yours.

2. Oakley sunglasses

Expecting to get a GT5 wheel to go with my GT5 game. And a complete auto care kit w/ random orbital from Griots.
