Civ 5, Psychonauts, Inception on DVD, the Tron soundtrack, some interesting books, and some great shirts (along with an assortment of other clothing).
What did you get for christmas?

- Start date
A block of chocolate and a cheap solar rechargeable torch. (only my grandmother celebrates Christmas, so she's the only one who gives presents to me.)
Assassins creed 2 GOTY
Need For Speed: Hot pursuit
and Blur. The multiplayer is great, but sadly only approx. 200 players are playing it. It's so good, you have no idea! Blur is now officially underrated.
Also, Jamiroquai's Rock Dust Light Star. Yeah Buoy.

Chocolate money. It was the only thing I got this year. My family has stopped to whole getting gifts thing. We all agreed we didn't want to do it any more. Anyway at the family lunch an extended family memeber throw me a bag of chocolate money and said merry christmas.
So now a group of the family had all these chocolate money. We played poker for a lot longer then we thought we would. It was great. It was a gift that was more entertaining then normal gifts and we ate it. Two gifts in one.
Awesome gift. Simple and very good.

HAH! I'm American and I got my gifts on Christmas Eve as well.GeorgW said: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!)
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.
A ton of books and some bluetooth headphones that have shitty sound quality which I was surprised about because my other sony headphones (non BT) have great sound quality and the BT ones were more expensive. If anything I thought bad sound quality would be due to a shitty connection but the connection is great. The BT couldn't cost much to add (hell I bought a BT USB adapter for my PC for $12). My other sony headphones are like $20 cheaper so you'd think they could make these BT ones with decent sound. Guess I'll have to spend upwards of $100 for a good pair, at least I can use them as a headset as well which will be more comfortable than my PS3 earbud headset.
I got:
Fracture
Condemned
Condemned 2
Fable 2
Gears of War 2
Fallout 3
Dark Void
Halo Reach
Damnation
Legendary
Gun
Quake 4
Stormrise
Frontlines Fuels of War

Darksiders
Turok
Dead Rising
Too Human
Fear
Assassin's Creed 2

29 games, all Xbox 360, all except Halo Reach were preowned and bought using that 3 for 2 sale at Gamestop (and 1 preowned was just bought, but can't remember which). Yes, I planned this since last Christmas.
Plus some clothes, random stuff, and a Trygon (WH40k Tyranid).
If you guys dont see me for a while, this is why.

BT usually gets worse quality because of the hardware, and they charge a lot just for the BT symbol on the box.
2 Seasons of the Big Bang Theory, some books, earrings, make-up brushes, Pokemon HeartGold, a Boromir action figure, a Fable 3 shirt and hopefully a guitar from my dad later today. I split my Christmas because I'm from a family of divorce.
I bought myself a few gamebooks. Nothing recent mind you, but some books I wanted years ago.
My brother got me a Playstation Move wand.
