Whoops! I was about to bump last year's “
What did you get for Christmas?” thread when I saw this. Well, I guess the admins can merge the threads if they see fit, or just have separate threads for each year.
Anyway, my gifts this year:
ï Some books, including
The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs,
Smithsonian Natural History: The Ultimate Visual Guide to Everything on Earth,
Smithsonian Ocean, and a guide to sharks and rays.
ï A plush tardigrade (water bear) from GIANTmicrobes. (My siblings got Martian Life, mange, and a flea.

)
ï From my older younger brother, some souvenirs from Fiji (where he had been studying abroad for his fall college semester), including a wooden sculpture of a prawn and some shells and corals he had collected. (Being responsible, ecologically conscious, and well aware that many innocuous-looking tropical organisms can kill you, he had only picked up dead specimens washed up on the beach) The most amazing gift was a shell from the deadliest snail on Earth: the venomous cone shell. :blink:
ï Several awesome agates.

ï A Wacom Bamboo Touch,

along with a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 5. Finally I can use Photoshop on my own computer, and maybe draw on it, too!

EDIT: Wow, you got some nice LBT stuff, The Friendly Sharptooth!
