Simone and I got cash from my Mum and Dad , tomorrow we put in some new plants .
Apart from that the best gifts we received was seeing our kids go crazy with joy at the gifts St Nic got em = best present a parent could ever want
Best gift for our family this year was having my brother home for the first time in 5 odd years.
I was given a book on album artwork which I really like, and am now looking on the Sanity website to decide on what to use a voucher. At this stage I am thinking the Death Angel Archives and Artifacts Box Set. Have wanted this forever, and since they are touring in the coming months, now is as good a time as any.
Best gift was my parents bought an african family a couple of goats on my behalf, and sent me the card...it was a really good gift.
From, the people in my house (note birthday and christmas hauls merge). Dr Who series two (Tennant Billie Piper) boxed set Series 4 vols 1 and 2. War of the Worlds stage show DVD, and ABBA sing-star (I think the missus bought that for herself)

I used my voucher on the new Cradle of Filth, which I am listening to for the first time now, and it is awesome. Sounds closest to their Midian album than anything else, which is only a good thing! I am rabid I will miss them in Melbourne in May, but hope to catch them in Euroland.
