What did you get for christmas?

[Rickyvantof]

Heaps of candy and chocolate and sweets and etc.

Best present ever.

 

[Sojoez]

A leak in the roof, a call from my best friend and a text message from my niece. Tomorrow I'm home alone.

On the other hand, you could try Orthodox christmas in early January, which has the advantage of allowing some serious gift buying during all the post xmas and post new years sales.

That sounds really nice actually. Cheap gifts FTW!

Yeah but there is a caveat - it doesn't work so well in places where any of the Orthodox Christian sects are the dominant religion.

some dvd's, a book, money, clothes.

Why not, would it affect the sales?
Either way, not a problem for me. Sweden is almost completely non-religious.

 

[OniaPL]

I received 3 books, and other general stuff.

 

[Hatchet90]

A big ol' 6 hours of work in the morning and then home to spend time with family .

 

[higgs20]

And if your fam kept northern european traditions, you'd have gotten them 8-12hrs or so ago.

More importantly, though, did you get bacon?[/quote]

Christmas is nothing without bacon, we wrap it around sausages, gotta love the 'pigs in blankets'.

Yeah, it would. Not likely they'd be having post-christmas sales before their christmas.

 

[wildpeaks]

Nothing (unless you include what I bought myself on the Steam sales), they didn't even bother to send an email or call this year, lovely...

I'm trying to come up with a new christmas tradition that results in early bacon.

If that succeeds then it's time for the real plan to be put into effect - Baconmas

We (UK) tend to open one present on Christmas Eve. I opened up the 5 Disc Final Cut of Blade Runner. Made me a happy bunny

I WASN'T TOLD ABOUT THIS

I always open all my presents on the 25th D:

 

[Mistermixmaster]

In no particular order:
- Vanquish (PS3)
- Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)
- Inception
- "The Pacific" (TV Series, not y'know, the whole Pacific Ocean)
- "The Highly Sensitive Person in Love", by Elaine N. Aron

... also some other stuff like clothes and the like, but the listed things were actually on my "wishlist"

I'm gonna have a lot to do onwards

 

[Boom129]

I got a massive pile of NO!

But what about the people that do celebrate christmas on the 24/25th? Shouldn't they try to accomodate them?

Nothing (unless you include what I bought myself on the Steam sales), they didn't even bother to send an email or call this year, lovely...

That sucks! Well, you get a "Merry X-mas!" from me at least.

 

[VanityGirl]

My new laptop was given to me by Santa two weeks ago.

I also got a waffle maker that makes elephant, lion and clown shaped waffles. SUCK IT!

 

[Vancleef]

14 months of xbox live, a copy of vanilla wow, a 3D picture and lots of candy (yep, candy)
