Coolest Christmas Gift

[color="#9932CC"][font="Verdana"]The best gift I got this Christmas was my parents acceptance & support of my vocation to the religious life. That trumps any present. However, they did also get me a Taize-style kneeler that was awesome.[/font][/color]

See, I'm the type of guy that would buy that for myself...

Anyway, I got a iPod Touch for Christmas. That's awesome. :)

No.

My mother made a scrapbook of memories of my father who died in May. It took her three months to make one for each of the three children, but each one is beautiful. By far the best gift I received.

I have another one to add to the list. If you have ever prayed the Liturgy of the Hours for an extended period of time, you would be lying if you said it never got repetitious or a little trying on your patience. Enter [url="http://www.augustinianpress.org/word-season-abjr-8d1p.html"]http://www.augustinianpress.org/word-season-abjr-8d1p.html[/url] Word in Season, a supplement to the Office of Readings. It is beautiful collection of readings and a priest friend gave it to me :)

[quote name='Romans1513' post='1438981' date='Dec 27 2007, 10:42 PM']Coolest this year? Or ever?

This year, nothing in particular... I got all the Jane Austen books, a couple movies, a "Day by Day with Mary, the Mother of God" calendar- thats pretty awesome, some boots...
When I was in 9th grade, my parents woke up my sisters and I at 3:30am because they "were too excited" and we were like "whatever" because we were only half awake anyway. Well, there were plane tickets to the Bahamas in our stockings, leaving at 9am that day. We had no idea.

I think that wins.[/quote]

All of the Jane Austen books is a great gift! (OK yes I'm a Jane nerd, but still....)
I got a new iPod which I am greatly enjoying. :)

are you serious?? that's amazing. I would totally use that, if I had it.

one of my friends gave me a grow-your-own guardian angel. you put it in water and it grows to six times it's original size. :)
