Heroin! (chocolate powder stuff)

A book~ (death Bringer)

A metal thingy! (Wah-wah pedal)

Halo Anniversary!!!! (so... so shiny...)

Mock the week's funniest book of all Time!

Awesome facts (second hand lol)

I think I did well~ must be compensation for getting nothing last year~ ^_^

Well, I'm of to make the guitar sound funny~

 

[Shinclone]

Shyla Stylez giftwrapped in tinsel and not much else. Also looking at receiving a kidnapping and false imprisonment charge soon. Yay Christmas!

 

[similar.squirrel]

Hiking socks, an excellent sleeping bag, a massive bar of miners' soap [?], The Grand Design by Hawking and Mlodinow and one of those puzzles that are semi-impossible to take apart and that I therefore love.

Also, my family is paying for most of college and whatnot.

Edit: And the Simon's Cat book.

 

[svenjl]

Sennheiser earphones, Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, undies, BBQ utensils, Norwegian goat cheese, gift voucher for camping gear. Quite an eclectic mix. Very happy. My 5 year old got a Lego police station and spent fully 3 hours on his own building and playing with it. This was the first Christmas or birthday in 3 years that I neither asked for or received a video game. I contemplated asking for Dirt 3 but Skyrim is all consuming of what little gaming time I have. Oh, I almost forgot that I also spent at least 30 minutes running around my neighbourhood with my wife after our neighbour's dogs got loose. It was pouring with rain, and then started hailing. Thunder, lightning...the works. Pretty funny in hindsight. Anyone from Melbourne will know what I mean :-D

i don't celebrate Christmas only new year.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Clothes, again... women and their frekin clothes obsessions... jesus efin christ.

 

[Anti Nudist Cupcake]

Cold hard cash and chocolates.

Was hoping to get myself swtor but noooooo South Africa has to have later release dates.

 

[EHKOS]

I got a ton of fucking chocolate. Two huge Reeses cups, ZOE 2, $200 prepaid Visa, $50 gift card for the local second hand game shop, a bunch of books, and a subscription to GameInformer.
Oh! And Tail Concerto and Ribbit King!

 

[jyork89]

I got a couple of books and some chocolate. Prior to Christmas my mum had asked for a list of games which I would like. I gave quite a large list to give her heaps of selections and she said she would get one. I restrained from purchasing some steam deals and now no games so I am smiling away while fuming inside.

Reading these posts I can see a clear correlation between number of gifts you receive and age. I am no the downward curve it seems

 

[Vault101]

Skyrim...dont think I'll like it all that much but I'll try and give this a real go..even if I got kind of burned on Oblivion

 

[Muspelheim]

Some money, a pack of cigarettes, a book and a bottle of vodka. It's been a very good harvest indeed this year. <3

 

[GodofDisaster]

Let's see I got.

Assassins's Creed Revelations.
A One Piece Wallet. (Which I'm really grateful for because my old wallet is ruined.)
A Book on the top 500 anime movies.
A Ninetendo DSI with Pokemon Heartgold (Just started a new game and my starter was a female, fuck yeah.)
Aftershave, clothes and sweets.
Also Forty Pound in cash and a PSN £35 gift voucher.

I also got £20 and a big box of Celebrations from my Grandparents on Christmas Eve. It also helps that they're my Godparents as well.

 

[MetaKnight19]

A massive hangover....

I also got a Fallout: New Vegas shirt, a wallet made of flexible stainless steel, an awesome hat and a big Lego VW Camper Van.

 

[michiehoward]

Well I know I got new copies of LoTR-TT and RotK
A surprise from Mom and Dad.

And got the husband a new 40 inch flatscreen, which was also for me, so yay!


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Being Swedish, yesterday was the big day, and this year, we had family Christmas at my house. All week, my husband and I had been cleaning, baking, making candy, decorating and so on. Yesterday I got up early and did the last of the cooking. At one, my mother, her husband, my brother and his fiancée arrived and we ate from the big traditional Christmas smorgasbord I hade prepared until we all felt like bursting.

Then we opened presents. I got a lovely fast and powerful android smartphone and my first pair of ice skates since I outgrew my last pair 25 years ago. My children's main present was a Lego Mindstorms set. They are buildning their first project right now.

I really had a perfect Christmas. I usually do.

 

[ToastiestZombie]

A brand new computer which I am typing on now! A 2.1 speaker system for it. All my other presents were just stocking fillers but I did get a nice SuperDry T-shirt

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I nearly died of shock when I realised my sister had bought me the Assassins Creed books.

My family NEVER buy me anything computer game related. Maybe they are getting the message that I like computer games after 29 years...

I usually just get makeup or a hairdryer or something :|

It is truly a glorious day.

Merry Christmas all ;P

 

[ultimateownage]

A couple of games, some shoes, a book (On grammar, because someone thought it'd be funny), and a media server.
I always try to stay as far below £200 as I can for Christmas. Then I see people getting presents that must be worth thousands, and I get a little irritated. It all seems a little spoilt to me; as if they don't consider the cost of things and how much their family spends.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

I got 50 dollars. Thank god, now I can put that in my bank account and stop being overdrawn.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

Some chocolate and a snuggle blanket.

But I got to spend some time with the family so Christmas was a pretty good day for me.
