I got leopard finally. I really didn't wanna rush to the store to get leopard due to the fact that I don't have an external HD and like some my my applications that run only on 10.4. Thanks Santa Steve.

I didn't get a Mac computer of sorts, but I did get 2GB of system memory and a 250GB SATA hard drive for my MacBook... and not forgetting OS X 10.5 Leopard to go with it =)
My younger brother got an iPod Nano 4GB, but it's not working with his computer, (Windows XP... go figure!) so here I am fixing it when my Leopard Mac is calling me.

Since I already have an iMac, Macbook, iPod touch, and boatloads of software I've bought over the last year, there wasn't anything else to get that wouldn't be superfluous, but I did rejoice at all the things I already have!

I got a $25 iTunes certificate, and enough cash from other family memebrs so that I too can buy a 250GB SATA drive for my MacBook Pro. :)

I was fortunate enough to get a 20" Cinema Display for my MacBook Pro. Only now I need to get a Keyboard and maybe a wireless mouse.

I never understood why people buy the Apple Cinema Displays. They are more expensive, and less featured than the equivalent Dell monitor.
Is the styling really worth the premium?

Can't understand why replies to reply are disabled so this is my reply to Dylan:
I've bought Apple Cinema 20" despite it being even pricier here in Ukraine (800$) for these reasons 1. Good looking, minimalistic design, match my mini perfectly (go compare with Dell) 2. Panels are of stable quality (Dell's varies greatly). 3. I expect Apple product to work hassle free (Can't say that about Dell's)

Of course it is. I love beautiful design and i hate the plastic look of dell's products. So for me it's an good looking monitor or no monitor.

I got a MacBook with 4GB Ram. I had contemplated a MBP but I decided to go for the smaller size and I love it. Next on the list in 2008 will be a 22 inch monitor and a mac mini as home server. Happy New Year 2008!

My wife and daughter totally surprised me with an 80gig iPod Classic. I was blown away. They also know I am going to be buying a macbook pro soon. How very thoughtful, and what an excellent accessory.

WOO HOO! I received an iTunes gift card and an iPod Classic 160gb.
I also received yesterday a brand new Macbook Pro 17" that Apple gave me in replacement for a 3 year old Powerbook G4 that was covered under Applecare. Thanks Santa Steve. Apple is the best!

I've got a MacBook Pro 15". And I'm really happy about that. Even when in my country Christmas is celebrated on the 7th jan.

I got an iPhone but don't know if I should open it. I don't want an AT&T two-year contract.
Does anyone think the crack for the newest bootloader will come before the new 3g iPhones?

Spoiled brat alert! You got 2 expensive gifts and your still not quite happy with your "stock" MacBook. Oh my gosh, you better get the butler to come and take it away for an upgrade.

Jealous much? Which part of "I'm so happy! Merry Christmas!" made you think he was unhappy?

Yikes, sorry to come off snobbish! Take it easy. Yes, I am more that happy with the MacBook, as I upgraded from a 12" PowerBook (it's so refreshing to have a snappy, new computer!) But I thought between us Mac geeks, we liked to share the specs of our machines, so I simply wrote "stock" rather that the long list of specs.
Also, I guess I should clarify that I am sharing the Xbox with my brother, so it technically isn't just mine.
Merry Christmas.
