So, what did you get for Christmas?

[chaosyoshimage]

I got a Kindle Fire a couple weeks ago as an early gift. My brother got The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Red Steel 2 (With the Wii Motion Plus), and Mario Kart 7 as early gifts. That's from our dad, we get stuff from our mom tomorrow.

 

[Blue Hero]

Arkham City, Skyrim, a bunch of movies, a new mouse, and a new PC tower. What with my limited knowledge of PCs and all, I'm fearful of trying to set it up and not knowing what I'm doing.

 

[ReinWeisserRitter]

Nothing; I've spent today and am spending tomorrow by myself. I've been less concerned about holidays as I've gotten older, and I have a general dislike of Christmas, besides.

This may or may not become less so within the next couple of years, as my living arrangements and proximity to large numbers of relatives have a good chance of changing, but that's how things are for now.

I know that I'll be getting Persona 3 for the psp, Hellsing on dvd and the Harry Potter films box set. Sadly, I don't actually have a psp, nor a dvd player and my laptop's dvd drive is broken...bah humbug :L

Not as much as usual, seeing as we're in a bit of a financial problem (And really shouldn't have even gotten this much, but mother dear can't help but spend money on anything). But, what I got was:
-Gainway Nvidia GeForce 560Ti 2Gb Phantom2 * 2
-OCZ Z1000M 1000W PSU * 1
-Scarecrow and the army of thieves * 1
-A SATA CD/DVD drive * 1
-Money
-A crapton of gift cards
-Chocolate
-A drysuit
-Some clothes

Kinda makes my parents feel ripped off. You can understand why when my Grandmother got my father a clothes washing bucket.

Tomorrow I'm going to go out and get myself a Bitfenix Colossus and a couple of new fans. Kinda killing my system with heat with my current chasis, cramped and squashed together with one fan that is covered by a radiator from my CPU liquid cooling. That'll drop me about $200 or so (Stupid Australian Pricing), but will be worth it for not burning out my whole rig

We have a different tradition here in Iceland instead of one Santa the kids get 13 and they put one shoe in the window Dec 11th, so every night one of the Santas come and give them a present, then we start celebrating Dec 24th and we eat dinner at 18:00 or 06:00pm and we open the packages at 19:00 or 07:00pm.

But I got:
two hoodies
5 pairs of socks
Icelandic comedy cd called Fabio rocks christmas
4500 isk (it's 37 us dollars) for a comic book store.
a lot of Quality Street candy
and a gaming mouse.


this christmas is probably my second favorite, my favorite was in 2005 or 2004 when I got a PS2

Hey, just curious, what happens to the shoe? Do they have to put fourteen more shoes as Christmas approaches?

P.s.: I was just sent to the "you must agree to the code of conduct page." I'm not trolling here. I am genuinely curious. I've never heard of putting shoes in the window and would like to know the origin of the custom.

After Christmas we just keep using the shoe and no we don't need 14 shoes because there are only 13 Santas and we don't have to change the shoe every night.

Merry Christmas (if you don't celebrate Christmas) Happy holidays.

So far I've gotten:

A very hipster-y flannel shirt from my brother.
A strong suggestion to shave from my mom.
An ice cream from my dad.
2 pieces of Coal and Majesty2 from Steam.
And a sheep spawner on the Minecraft Server I play on from a friend that paid the admins to gift it to me


The actual gift exchange starts at midnight here, so I'll probably get some extra stuff in 2 hours, and then tomorrow when I go visit my aunt.


Happy Halloween Escapists~

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on Xbox 360.

 

[ajemas]

It's not Christmas yet here in the States!
As a present to myself though, I think I'm going to pick up the Ubisoft holiday collection from Steam

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Lets see...:
Batman: Arkham City.
A Ramones coffe mug.
A Sex Pistols wall banner.
A skull t-shirt.
A lot of chocolate.

That's about it. I think it all went rather well.

Sounds good! I used to be in a 70's Punk cover band! We used to do Pistols and Ramones stuff, along with The Clash, Sham 69, Vice Squad, UK Subs, Cockney Rejects, The Rutts and more!

Personally I got a Kindle this year! I wasn't expecting it either, so it was quite exciting!

 

[tombman888]

For christmas i got a Razer Deathadder3500, a Razer Lycosa, a 3DS with Mario Kart 7, Shit loads of chocolate, a Mario t-shirt, underwear and bodywash.

I am a happy person right now

 

[viranimus]

A guaranteed 3 + hour drive home after dumping another 60$ into the tank and packing up the last of my junk so I can haul it over a mountain and spend the rest of the day unloading it. YAAA, oh wait.

Yeah, the older i get the less Christmas means anything to me .

 

[RatRace123]

Skyrim
Arkham City
Sonic Generations
And a very nice Mario Shirt.

This is just stuff I got at my family's annual Christmas Eve party, I'll get a bit more tomorrow, mostly DVDs I expect.

And back on the subject of my games, I'll dig more into Skyrim and Arkham City, but right now I'm having the most fun with Sonic. I just finished the City Escape level and I had a huge happily nostalgic grin on my face throughout the entire level.

 

[Urgh76]

I got a rock...

In my family we celebrate Christmas by going to church (well they go to church. I stay home and play video games). Also we celebrate Christmas on January 7th.

Dick all because my family hasn't celebrated christmas and won't for the next...11 hours or so. I'll edit this when we do.

 

[superdelux]

I got Saints row 3, Orcs must die, Skyrim, and left 4 dead 2 on steam with a gift Visa card I got.

And by next Christmas they will finish installing and i cam play them.

Seeing as my family isn't speaking to me, and my boyfriend violently hates Christmas, all I can really say is that for Chanukkah (the boyfriend celebrates it, but I never really have on account of I was raised Catholic) I got a bird ornament. The only reason he got it for me because birds aren't Christmas-y.

So, my Christmas blows and I'm deeply depressed.

Well that's kinda lame. A boyfriend that depresses you tend to need to be... What am I kidding? don't listen to me, I'm only good for pissing people off.

OT: Got chocolate and some sleeping pants, we're all broke as hell so we just basically had a big dinner with some family n friends. Mainly just friends that showed up, family's tied up elsewhere. But there was good food, so it's K.

 

[yman15]

Holy Shit! Its one day into the future man! How are you asking me this if you live in the future?!?! Do they have jet packs and hovercars yet?!?!
OT: Yah still Christmas Eve over here...
