The turbo, intercooler, fittings and other necessary stuff from an XR6T to shove on my car eventually, from my Uncle. (A couple of guys from Autostyle have volunteered to do it, but I'm not too sure I trust them not to take it too far)
NFS: Carbon for PS2 from Dad (I picked it 'cause there wasn't really anything I wanted, so settled with that)
A body scrub set (again) from my Uncle and Aunt
2 pieces of Swarovski crystal from my parents
A teddy bear to display from Mum
Ferrero Rocher, again from Dad
Cash from my Grandfather

We got a new TV from Mum's brother

The Grandmother who usually specialises in recycled junk out of her house that is at least 20 years old and useless, suprised and infuriated us all and gave us each a whole lot of NOTHING!

Luckily the things we gave her cost us a total of about $10 combined.
I was expecting 5 year's loss of licence as thats the max you can get these days, anything over that is jail time which is why i got a barrister as i didn't feel like a holiday just yet.

A really big hangover, and a little ick from overeating. Other than that, a leather cinema lounge (4 seater), Ford travel bag, Ford wall clock, etc etc.

This is what Eamon got from my parents, which I thought was pretty cool (oh the mini cricket set in the photo was for Toby!!!). He also got VB Explorer socks from his Mum, $50 and a big chocky freckle.



I got some gold earrings from my parents, and a really nice fry pan from Eamon's Mum. The kids got loads of stuff - around $100 each in cash (including the baby) plus heaps and heaps of toys, books etc and they are still yet to get some clothes as well.

Christmas dinner was great, with turkey, roast spuds etc - the traditional stuff.

Here is our tree with some of the presents under it:
