So boys and girls
What did you get for Christmas/Chanuka/Kwanzaa/whatever?
|
EDIT:
ipod shuffle (clearenced) Two mario shirts A new DS holder case Mario Kart double Dash Book bag form Hot Topic A sweatshirt with an over shirt 50 bucks form my grandma and some other little things. |
I got: New digital camera, drawing stuff, preserved rhinocerous beatle, brown sweater, mp3 player, new shoes (opened before hand), and the soundtrack to The Wiz.
|
I got a few games, a shaver, an appointment book, and a reading lamp. I'm pretty happy with my gifts, though I won't be able to use a few of 'em until I'm back home, which kinda sucks :p.
|
I got a T-Shirt but no Socks or Jocks. :fuzsad:
Like most years I got a whole lot of little small stuff mainly because I could never think of anything expensive. |
New red scarf, ski socks for my trip to the french alps, a sheet to cover my raggedy ass couch, new lamps for my bike (I was fed up with being stopped by the police), a new router with some wires for it, and umm... Clog-shaped-flip-flops. Yeah, theyr'e nice and warm.
|
Tennis shoes, socks, a pair of pants, a dressier button shirt, a wallet with a hundred dollar bill in, about 50 bucks from relatives, a 40 dollars Christmas bonus. Other money will be arriving from Minnesota from relatives. Not big, but I really needed the ****ing money and new clothes!
|
For Christmas, I got:
A Wii (Much to my surprise as I was planning to get it myself in March) Zelda: Twilight Princess Wii-Sports (Came with the Wii) 3 Guardian Angel figures (I believe in that sort of thing) 3 Books (Teen-girl books) A Wii-Carrier (From my Brother) Chocolates A small book on how to draw 'thumb-print' animals A chocolate Santa 2 DVDs Rayman for the Wii A CD A bracelet New pyjamas Yoshi's Island DS An A5 sketch book Sketch colouring pencils A scarf and gloves A chocolate thing with hazelnuts Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit Something for notes and letters A 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' calender A body warmer and knitted scarf A bed throw to keep my bed neat A 'Friends for life' ornament A Jewelry Box Money Arm-Warmers ...I feel so ruddy spoilt...doesn't mean I'm ungrateful though XP.

I am such a selfish pig. |
You know what I give out for Christmas? Nothing. Christmas blows, Christmas Eve is the real money day. Christmas Eve every store is open and I meet relatives...Christmas day I sit around at home with my family, take "power naps", scratch my balls, and bitch that I have to eat grilled cheese sandwhiches again because we haven't went to Aldi's since Thanksgiving.
Christmas afterparty at work, tomorrow. Whoopity do. I wish I was back in school already. |
I got....
Beast Wars season 3. call me a fanboy! Gears Of War. Its really good. Assorted Warhammer 40k models. A small moons' worth of chocolate. |
Beast Wars? What did you get last year, the Starship Troopers and Space Monkeys box sets? I'm not busting your balls, I'd like to know if they exist.:fuzcool:
|
I only got two things and didn't give anything.
|
19" Widescreen LCD TV
Zelda: Twilight Princess (GCN) V for Vendetta (DVD) My Neighbor Totoro (DVD) Aqualung by Jethro Tull (CD) A spiffy pair of pants A load of candy and other relatively insignificant stuff |
Of any interest at all, I received:
|
You mean to tell me you didn't have Aqualung already?
For shame. My God, are you thick as a brick? |
I vote that everyone should have to provide photographic evidence of the wonderfullness of their presents. I'm looking at you maxy. :p

And in all seriousness...I can't find the Starship Troopers DVDs anywhere in this backwards country. |
AIDS.
Ahem... just money really. |
Meh, I got 5 bucks, sum chocolate, a buisness mousepad (with built-in FM radio) and a sound system (CD player, radio etc.) with 26 watt speakers.

Nothing I asked for. I didn't ask for anything, yet that is precisely what I got. I asked for nothing, yet I did not receive! :p
Books, mainly. Which is fine, I love books. One of which, the Book of General Ignorance, has now empowered me to dispel your beliefs about the world, which, I assure you, are total bull. So question your basic assumptions. Nearly all are wrong. |

I got an awful lot. Being an only child yet having a lot of aunts, uncles, grandparents etc. can be real profitable at birthdays and Christmas:
The next 5 Discworld books from where I'm up to. An autobiography I've been after for a while Some comedy-themed book written by Stephen Fry Lemmings on PS2 (Despite being an old game, it's great fun!) Fifa 07 on PS2 MK Armageddon on PS2 Little Britain Series 3 The Matrix Complete Collection- Collector's Edition 10 Disc Boxset Family Guy Season 1 (Been after it for ages but never been able to pick it up) Only Fools and Horses Series 6 Only Fools and Horses Series 7 Only Fools and Horses- To Hull and Back Only Fools and Horses- Heroes and Villains Only Fools and Horses- Strangers on the Shore The Story of Only Fools and Horses (Yes I'm a big fan of comedy stuff, but OFAH isn't my favourite comedy, it's just one of the only ones I like which I don't have 99% of on VHS/DVD already) Plus a couple of kickass metal CDs and a Metallica music DVD, as well as about 80 quid from friends and relatives. There's also stuff I got I can't rmember, a couple of DVDs and another game or 2 I think. Being an only child rocks. |
