I haven't seen this thread yet, so I figured I'd create it.
In my Country, Sweden, we give gifts on christmas eve, so I've already gotten all of my gifts. (Suck it, Americans! :p)
So, what did you get for christmas, and were you happy about it?
If you haven't gotten anything yet, feel free to guess and then later see if you got it right.
I got the first 5 series of Dr. Who and Babylon 5. I'm very happy with that, just what I wanted.
Remind me to get back to you tomorrow

but so far, I've gotten a katana/umbrella (half of it's endangered, the other half IS danger!)
Consider this my reminder.
Double day!
I got as follows

NEEDS: New Computer Mouse, Umbrella, PJ Bottoms (2 pairs), Shirts (2), Flashlights/Batteries (batteries are sitting next to my various devices... 360 controller, Wiimote, TVmote, etc.), Day Calendar full of stupid quotes

WANTS: Monster Lab, Armored Core 4 (got two copies so I'm gifting one to my friend), 3200 MS Points (Castlevania HD, Monday Night Combat, Ikaruga)

UNEXPECTED/OTHER GIFTS: chocolate/candy, HexBug Ant, Rubiks Cube (like I really need FIVE!)

Well, I didn't get the new Goldeneye game, but I did get an MP3 player, a few books by Newt Gingrich, and a full freakin' book on Kanji, so I can't complain at all (it's got more than I could imagine immediately needing) :)

Good things:
A new watch
The new iPod nano
An alarm clock
Hand Lotion!
A new pair of winter gloves
A new fancy electric razor
A new pair of headphones
A pair of moccasins
And a new sweater!
(I'm also re-getting Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors 4)

I really didn't ask for much of that, so this was a pretty good Christmas for me.

The list is quite extensive, for me at least:

-Pants
-Reversible belt
-Two slick button-down shirts
-A tie
-A new, functional, refrigerator
-A roll-up, battery-powered keyboard
-A Squier Jazz Bass
-Way too much candy
-Way too much money in the form of gift cards, checks, etc.

I would just like to mention that missing Sly Cooper during the PS2's runtime is one of my biggest mistakes ever.

The game reminds me of Crash Bandicoot/Spiro. That is the highest compliment I could possibly give to a game.

You can get the collection. But I'm wondering if you got the wrong thread?

A Blu-Ray player (with the new A-team film, Harry Brown, the James Bond collection, The Hangover extended cut and AC/DC live at Donnington in 1991), a shaver, clothes, books, electric toothbrush, sweets, cigars and booze are the things I can remember off the top of my head. It was a hell of a day...

An AMD 6870, a ton of chocolates and lottery tickets, $230 in gift certificates to EB Games, a bunch of shirts and a back patch that I ordered online, some gag gifts from my sister, Apocalypse Now on blu-ray, a new case for my cell phone, a gift certificate to the theater, a bunch of rechargeable batteries for my speedlight and a thousand dollar cheque from my grandparents. Which seriously caught me off guard but I guess they decided to give all their grandkids that much this year. So needless to say that's going into a savings account for my education since I've already paid for the courses I'm taking. My brother and my girlfriend aren't home yet since they were visiting family, but I guess they're bringing me some stuff too. Hopefully my brother got me The Pacific on blu-ray since, other than a new video card, that's the only other thing I asked for.
