Honestly, no one cares what I received, and I do not care what anyone else received. Lets keep the posts to relevant, community news and refrain from posting empty articles such as this just to stir site traffic up...OK???

Voopsie, honestly, if you don't like the game don't join in! Nobody will miss you or care. There's plenty of depressing news out there. Go for it.

Haters gonna hate. Seriously stories like this are cute. Not everything has to be about robberies and bad things.

Haters still want to hate. And call people names. That is really spreading the cheer.

I didn't have need for a gadget this year, I got a game which I wanted and another that my daughter liked and thought I would like, I also got a book one of my friends wrote and I promised I would read. I am expecting a pair of Oakley sunglasses which my daughter ordered for me to replace a pair I wrecked in an accident. I am happy. I hope everyone had a nice holiday, if they got or gave presents, or both:)

Oh yeah, I forgot I did get a" gadget" this year. My daughter gave me an answering machine, because I hate bot calls, so now I can screen my calls. Please no one else argue, in the end, you hurt yourself more than others because anger eats like poison, while those you argue with over nothing soon forget about it.

Honestly I do not think it is a good idea to we writing online to complete strangers about what electronics you recieved for the holidays. It is a burglers deam to find out what is in your house before they even break in and now a days anyone can find out where someones post came from and can pick the house they want to rob because they already knows what is in it.

And exactly why are you posting on a Perry Hall patch? BTW Harford county also disqualified as Perry Hall.

This is the Bel Air Patch. From what my info says? Perry hall is Baltimore in my opinion. This is for the Harford County Folks.

Sorry for the confusion. This poll was cross-published on numerous Patch sites—one in Baltimore City, the three in Harford County and the eight in Baltimore County. I oversee the two areas as regional editor. I apologize for any confusion.

The only thing you need to apologize for, is Voopsie.

Doug, we don't live in a bubble, as many here would like to. No apology necessary.
