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.
but so far, I've gotten a katana/umbrella (half of it's endangered, the other half IS danger!)
Live DVDs of Behemoth and Transatlantic (blackened death metal, and prog rock - yeah my music taste is fucked, or fucking brilliant, it's up to you), new calender with waterfall photos, a 'postcard album' which is actually filled with gig tickets, photos and setlists from the many gigs my dad and I went to (which is pretty much the most inventive present I've ever had, it's brilliant!), money, and this Mastodon tshirt...
Wearing that to the pub tomorrow for sure.
Anyway, that's the stuff my dad got me. My mum got me boxers, aftershave, Mr Lazy pyjamas (very true tbh), loads of munch, and more moneys!
Oh yeah, and my best friend got me a Terry's Chocolate Orange, because everybody loves those
Hope you all had a good Christmas Escapists!

Well I am Muslim and we got our own holidays only difference is nobody gives a damn about our culture so most of the time we have to work during that time (mostly, unless we carefully plan it as a day off). So if we want to spend money, we will do it on our holidays just as those who celebrate Christmas (for whatever reason) do it on theirs. But hey not only do we have our holidays but those of us that live in countries like USA get to take advantage of the benefits of Christmas, like having a day off so it's still a win-win for us (somewhat).likalaruku said:
Okay, got most of the rest of the stuff, just gotta get a few more presents, which will probably include a game, maybe a book or two.
Boss Metal Distortion pedal (can't remember exact model, but it's pretty good)
Long-ass guitar cable
AC adaptor for mentioned pedal
Halo Reach
Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters (not asked for, but my brother knew I liked the series and it's a decent game)
Scott Pilgrim DVD
Shawn of the Dead DVD
Walking Dead T-shirt
Led Zeppelin music book thing (tabs + actual written music... and also not asked for)
Chord book (not asked for but extremely useful)
John Coltrane - Giant Steps
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
The Human Abstact - Nocturne
$25 iTunes gift card
Year subscription for Xbox Live
Earth by Jon Stewart (also not asked for... but my parents are awesome)
Some guitar picks
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (so far the gameplay is incredibly fun, but the intro flat out confused me)
Can't think of anything else at the moment, but my brother got quite a few games I'll be "borrowing". So it's a very successful Christmas with a few gifts left. Gotta love being a spoiled suburban kid.

No, they don't suck. They just aren't in tune with what the cool people do.GeorgW said:

A 22" LCD High-Resolution monitor to go with my custom-built desktop. I had been using an 8 year old monitor for almost a year, so this was really nice.
The rest of it can be summed up with two brand names: Star Wars and Axe. Not even joking. I got this little stuffed Chewbacca plush, two tee-shirts, LEGO Darth Vader's TIE fighter, and a really cool Boba Fett helmet. Annnd, a Axe travel kit and an Axe shower kit.

For ,aybe the first time in years, I didn't ask for any new games. Instead I got Final Fantasy IX, Castle season 1, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Toy Story 3, and a new phone.
