Going to buy myself some after Christmas things, like a Sonicare, 4g iPod (my 3g is almost shot), and more ram for my G5.

I got a sonicare! They're very good. I also got £50, tracksuit bottoms, silk shirt and the How Clean Is Your House? book. Oh and a rubbish bin. I detect a theme going here.

I plan to treat myself to I, Robot (seeing as no one brought it me), new digital camera I think and I've already brought seaon 3 and 4 of Futurama, will probably get the other 2 soon.

Is it true they make it seem like a just-left-the-dentist experience everytime you use it?

Apparently I was very good this Christmas...

Leather executive chair
Screwdriver kit (I always don't have the right tool to open a computer case)
A year of Xbox Live (I won't use it much though...)
Gift certificates for Subway, McDonalds, etc...
$400!!!

I was lucky to get the money, I needed a new computer. The one I have now is on its last leg (a old Wintel box) ...and I already bought a replacement:

Amongst other small things, I got an Ibanez Black V70 Acoustic Guitar :wub:, and using the cash that I got from various people, went out and bought a Samsung Digimax A400 digital camera at Future Shop's boxing day sale. :P

Stood for 20 minutes in the cold until they opened at 6am, and got it for $179.99CDN.

Other than that, nothing big, a Melitta Take Two Coffee Maker, some shirts, a Roots beach towel (The brand probably won't mean much to non-canadians), and some Jelly Bellys. I'm happy. ^_^

How sad that nobody got a tennis racket or a baseball bat or anything else sports related... Does anyone here actually breathe fresh air?

I got a brand new pair of Ski Boots, I just don't talk about what I got for Christmas since that's what it's not about.

Not for me, I have yet to run away from it (dentists scare me).
As for cleaning, it leaves my teeth exceptionally clean. Can't really compare it to a dentists cleaning as I've never had to have one done, but really, I think it'd probably be comparable to it.
