Your little brother and sister made you a drawing of you and a goldfish, your grandparents got you a neon green wool sweater and your parents got you Spider-Man Fathead wall sticker.
Great.
But let's take a look at a few things that you really wanted for the holidays...
Top 5 in Movies and Music
1: "The Dark Knight"

Do we really need to explain why this is number one? Possibly the greatest sequel to hit the cinema last summer, The Dark Knight reintroduced audiences to the Batman.
Directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Heath Ledger as the legendary Joker, The Dark Knight assures us that the trilogy won't be a flop. Oh, and Ledger is up for a Golden Globe for his part as Joker. How could you miss a performance like that?
Blu-Ray price: $23.99
DVD price: $14.99
2: Kanye West - "808's and Heartbreak"

Just when you thought Kanye's creative well had run dry, he comes out with another stellar album. Unlike most artists who play it safe, Kanye seeks to redefine himself as-surprisingly-a singer.
A more mature album for a more mature man, 808's and Heartbreak deals with more complicated topics. Thankfully, we still get those dance-heavy tracks from Mr. West.
$9.99
3: Britney Spears - "Circus"

Britney is back.
Why not? It's better than "Blackout."
$9.99
4: Fall Out Boy - "Folie a Deux"

It's been a long time, but Fall Out Boy has finally given us another album. The album entitled "Folie a Deux" is just as abstract as it sounds.
Fall Out Boy returns with the same addictive melodies, but adds just enough musical experimentation to keep us interested. A solid follow up to Infinity on High, the group continues to keep us guessing. However, is it too much to ask the lead guitarist, Patrick Stump, to speak clear English when singing?
$9.99
5: "Lost" - Season 4

We know you're out there. Don't try to hide from us; there are at least two of you who still watch "LOST."
It's ok, they have groups for people like you now, but if you are still addicted you can always pick up season four. You're not even reading this anymore, are you? You've already rushed to your nearest video store.

Top 5 in Video Games
1: LittleBigPlanet - Playstation 3
You remember what it was like to be a child? To discover new things and create worlds out of something as simple as a cardboard box. Well, now you can relive those dreams again.
LittleBigPlanet is the latest game from developer Media Molecule, and enables players to create and share whole levels. That's right, you can finally create that My Little Pony level you've been dreaming about since you were a kid. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.
$59.99
2: Gears of War 2 - Xbox 360
Gears of War was one of the defining titles on the Xbox 360 in it's early years. Heavy with the action and little with the dialogue, the first installation was a gift for all action movie lovers.
Gears of War 2 gives us the action and then some. Again, audiences are made familiar with the gun-toting Marcus Fenix and his comrades as they try to fight off an alien race named the Locust. However, unlike the first game, the campaign seems a little more robust and offers us a deeper look into the world of Gears of War. A good look.
$59.99
3: Rockband 2 - Multiplatform
Who doesn't want to be a rock star? Admit it, if you had the talent, cash, and guts, you would be lounging in Beverly Hills with the shades down. To bad you don't have any of that, but thankfully developer Harmonix has your back.
We're talking out the game Rock Band 2, which allows you and your musically challenged friends to play on plastic instruments in your living room. Not as glamorous as the real thing, but a lot more fun. With a wealth of new tracks, and a steady flow of downloadable songs; you'll never have to try a real musical instrument... ever.
