What did you guys get from Santa Claus? I got a David Wright authentic jersey, gift card from MLB.com, and my 8 yr old son got a Mets sweatshirt with a hood. So what about you?
P.S.
Please only post about baseball related stuff, not Aunt Martha knitted you a pair of socks. :crazy

Two caps from ballcap.com (1958 Baltimore Orioles and 1889 Philadelphia Athletics) and a box of 2008 Razor Signature Series that I covered in the Big Box Break Thread (my parents got me an extra box I didn't know about...I'll still be opening one in February). Some REALLY nice autos in that box, and I love the ballcaps, especially the 1958 Orioles cap that is identical to what Steve Dalkowski would've worn in ST from 1958-1963 (I'm actually getting Steve his own cap once I get his hat size...give as well as receive on Christmas!).

I'm giving my Canadian relatives autographs from 3 players from the 1981 Montreal Expos: Andre Dawson, Bryn Smith, and Jeff Reardon.

In terms of sports related gifts, I got a New York Knicks shirt and a Darryl Strawberry Cooperstown jersey. Its so sick! I'm not a mets fan, but the shirt is awesome.

I must have been good this year...the wife got me a box of 2008 Allen and Ginter and a box of 2006 Topps '52.
This isn't baseball related, but I also got the new batman movie and an Indiana Jones box set. I only bring up the DVD's, because it struck me that if you swapped out "2006" and "2008" with "1988", and "DVD" with "VHS", I very well could have gotten two boxes of cards, a batman movie, and an Indiana Jones movie for Christmas when I was 12.
I've come so far! :clapping

pretty much everything i got was baseball related- a puzzle depicting all the stadiums, a small "executive desk" baseball game, Red Sox A to Z book, Howard Bryant's "Juicing the Game" book, baseball tarot card & book set (cool!), and a bunch of older baseball items my mother gave to me from a box at a flea market find- a video of the 500 HR club hosted by mickey mantle, a bundle of minitaure (maybe 5-6") wooden bats, a Don Drysdale model glove, a framed 1986 Logan Airport poster of Roger Clemens listing everybody he struck out that year (dont know anything about it but its very cool), and the best of all-----2 blank Ford Frick baseballs! one is toned but one is in pretty darn good condition----dont know where this flea market was but I never find things like this---- may try to post some pics of some of this stuff later

Of my 15 Christmas's this one has to be the best. I got an xbox 360 but it doesn't end! Alright, I got a gift that was really long and fairly heavy and I had no clue what it was. I opened it and it was a game used bat signed by Boomer Whiting (my favorite Louisville Alum and Nationals prospect) along with two cards! I had no clue where she got it so I had to ask. Come to find out in the off-season Boomer is a Sales Rep. where my mom works at! I just might go out to lunch with him sometime this week!!! If I get around to taking pictures I definitley will!

I received some nice cash presents, which will in good time be used to purchase hobby boxes of 2009 Topps Heritage in February!
