What Mac goodies did you get this year?
Christmas will soon be over (at least on the East Coast of the US where I am) and my thoughts turn to all the cool stuff that others got. Tell us, in the comments, about all the wonderful presents that your friends and loved ones got you this year.Sadly, my family believes I spend too much time with my Mac (is such a thing possible) so they refuse to feed my addiction.
If you got a Mac or iPod this Christmas check out our iPod tips and Mac tips (though I seem to be in the minority with my feelings about the Mighty Mouse).

All I got was a new set of iPod headphones. New Macs are too expensive, yanno?

I am a Mac newbie. I got a $799 Mac Mini. I am addicted to iMovie HD and iDVD. Overall it is just awesome. I love it. Now I am trying to relearn everything.

iTunes cards seem to be the hot gift for me this season. That's the only mac-y thing I got.
But for my birthday, which was four days ago, I did get an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse. I don't know what you guys are talking about when you say the Mighty Mouse is bad. I love it.

FYI - Australia's the 2nd country to welcome in 2007.

a new 80 gig white ipod. it's my third, and apple's packaging is getting successively cheaper each revision. i didn't realise that i don't receive at least a charger. i remember when these things came with chargers, docks, and av cables instead of having to shell out another 100 dollars for it.

A white MacBook 2GHz for me! My wife was so excited that she insisted on giving it to me a week early. I can't say I blame her. :D I've been a Mac fan since 1984 but this by far the fanciest machine I've ever used. :)

I actually got a lump of coal in regards to Mac related goods. I actually just on two things this year and zip up sweatshirt from my wife and my wife and kids got annual passes to Disneyland from my parents. We are pretty broke this year so it was an awesome gesture.
I usually go to MacWorld and that covers part of my Christmas good and then buy something after Steve announces whatever comes out in January.
So I'm either waiting for a Core2Duo MacMini or something clost to that price range.

I got a $50 iTunes gift certificate, although honestly, I'd rather have the money, I would have put it towards more RAM.

My son, my daughter, and I all got iPod shuffles this Christmas. We need them to replace the four 20-gig iPod's we've gotten on previous Christmas' that have since crapped out. I'm hoping that at least one of these shuffles will surpass the two-year mark thus outperforming any of the iPods I have stuffed in my desk drawer.
Now if I can just get some of my iTunes songs to load up on the new shuffle I'll consider this holiday a success. Oh..and of course Santa bought the extended protection plan since I've had to use it on every iPod I've ever owned.
Feliz Navidad Apple!
