I got a ton of cds this year, as well as other things, but its the music that counts right most this year to me. Here's what I got:

I am set with some METAL for this year :D What did everyone else get? Even if you didn't get music, you can still share :)
 
Vintersorg, Rage, and Amaran are all seriously awesome cd's. I got $55 in The End certificates but I'm going to wait until they restock to buy anything, they dont have anything there now that I really want.
 
tv & dvd player :) and other stuff. quite a bit of money from father-in-law because he didnt go shopping this year (too many personal tragedies too close to christmas for him and his wife), so we'll be getting clothes, books and probably cd's and dvd's later today, if i can wake hubby and daughter up. i need to work out what i want to buy, lol!!
 
Mini-disch player/recorder... and 100 bucks in certificates to theendredcords.com
Yeah, i'm really happy... oh and other little things, but that's mainly it.
