Merry Christmas! (Brag about your haul)

Since no one's created one already, I thought I'd post a thread wishing everyone a Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays, as the case may be). For those who do celebrate Christmas, I hope you had/have a great day. Thanks for your continued support of the NLSC, I know we've had some rough times especially with technical problems but we're hoping we now have everything under control and look forward to a much better year in 2009.

But enough talking shop. Anyone care to share/brag about what they got this year?

Thanks to my very generous friends and family, I managed to expand my collections while preparing myself for one of my New Year's Resolutions; to cut down on impulsive spending and the need to own new DVDs and the like as soon as they come out.

Ghostbusters 1 & 2 DVD doublepack
Family Guy Season 7 Boxset
Scrubs Season 7 Boxset
The Godfather 1-3 DVD Collection Boxset
