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

Yep, I know exactly what you mean.

Today I saw the largest storm cloud I've ever seen and heard quite possibly the loudest thunder clap.

As for presents I just got money, which is good 'cause I can just spend it on whatever I want.

You forgot to mention that it was hot and sunny too (+wind). Silly Melbourne.

 

[smokeyninjas]

Few pairs of pyjama bottoms, a furry dressing gown & furry slippers all very very comfortable

My Birthday is on the 7th of January, so I get the majority of my gifts then, and normally it's like a super bundle of stuff, or one big thing.

This year, I'm getting a new computer. Super excited.

Got The Beatles autobiography, some shirts and some chocolate today though. Which was nice.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

But damn, I cannot wait till my mom feels better. Why? Because I ordered some sweet ass english food (crisps, sweets, tea, etc) and I dont want to open the package till shes up again. Cant fucking wait to eat some Walkers Ready Salted.

*feels smug*
Yeah... it is good i suppose, but you get a little used to it...
But not Cadbury's, good god that's delicious.

Anyway, i got this kick-ass dragon cane, i have pictures!

Spoiler: Slightly blurred pic of said cane ;P

Oh and a pocket-watch
I look dapper ;D

 

[bliebblob]

I'll limit myself to the neatest stuff.

A crystal tree.
It's a little cardboard tree coated in a chemical that you have to "water" with another chemical. The "water" slowly travels upwards through the cardboard and where the 2 chemicals meet, colorful crystals form so you slowly get a beatiful crystal tree.

A book on "how to do everything."
It's a big book that contains very to-the-point step by step instructions on how to do ANYTHING. From cooking spaghetti to building a hovercraft and everything in between. I didn't get to really read it yet but here are some things I found so far:
how to operate a jetpack
how to hunt with a falcon (both tibet style and roman style)
how to survive a tiger attack unarmed
...
Even the simple stuff like how to mop or how to paint a wall is great for me because I somehow never really learned a lot of those practical everyday skills. Especially cooking and DIY.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

$200 in cash and noise-cancelling headphones (coming via mail).

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I still have to go to Dad's house this afternoon and, I'm going back to GA to be with my GF in a couple days so, I have more stuff coming...but within the past few hours?

clothes (3 t-shirts, Jeans, PJ Pants, boxers)
candy
Old Spice
Megablocks Shortsword
Skyward Sword

considering I'm 23 not a bad haul. I wasn't expecting Skyward Sword at all to be honest and haven't had a chance to play it yet but the CD it came with is amazing. Once I find my Zune it's going on. While I haven't been there yet, I'm about 80% sure my Dad got me a dual-player (VCR/ DVD player)

 

[Ultress]

Some new converse and gloves, Complete collection of Kino's Journey, Revolutionary Girl Utena part 3 box set, Volumes 10 and 11 of Farewell Mr. Despair, The undertaking by Thomas Lynch and Cheese Whiz.

 

[otakon17]

Welp, some odd knick-knacks in my stocking (candy, good root beer, toiletries, etc.), a nice tee-shirt(now I have to buy Angry Birds), and a big gift of a eReader Multimedia Tablet. Sure, it's not even as powerful as my iPod Touch 4th gen. in terms of storage, but still and awesome gift.

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.

I'm sorry to hear that, I really am. Still, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It's just around the corner, a blank state for a fresh start! I wish you the best of luck on it.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

And a Laptop that works.
Hellz yeah, thanks little bro for believing in Santa.

 

[CoL0sS]

A 10 hour shift at work, but it pays extra so it could be worse. Gifts were kinda depressing since they reflect how poorly my close family knows me, but at least lunch was awesome
Merry Christmas to everyone at Escapist btw.

 

[SkullKing84]

I got SKYRIM, a beard trimmer (think my wife is hinting at something... ), and a drawing book.


-EDIT- And I also got today the flu that my wife had.

 

[spiffleh]

Still waiting for everyone to get up. It's only 9 am here but we probably won't start present opening until like 11.
