Your 2009 Christmas haul.
- Thread starter Knife-28
- Start date
My parents let me open one present each Sunday of Advent,plus I got some others, so the presents I have right now are:
Lego Advent Calendar (not really a present, butis was awesome. I just built the last thing)
First Sunday: Flashlights that can clip onto my hat.
Second Sunday: My new computer arrived on Wednesday, so that counted as that weeks present, and my birthday present
Third Sunday: Headphones with a Microphone. I'm actually using them as I type this.
Fourth Sunday: I fell asleep at 3:45 PM, so I wasn't awake when we usually open the ones from my parents, but my dad's friend gave me a $50 Toys R Us gift card.
Other: My sister gave me a snowman pen with light up eyes and boxing gloves that she was giving out as party favors. Then she gave me another one because I stepped on the first one and it broke.
What I know I'm going to get: Since my parents keep leaving receipts in the catalogs that they order the presents from and then let me look in them, I accidentally found out that I'm getting both the Marvel and DC encyclopedias. And from "santa" (any belief I had left in him is now gone because I fond the receipt for a present from him): http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/retro-gaming/bd6f/
Edit: Oh, and a lot of people celebrate with their extended family Christmas Eve and their immediate family Christmas Day, so this thread is here at the right time.

I was going to go into this long pedantic speech about how timezones work, and then I realized the time.Icecoldcynic said:
there are only 2 places in this list of places (and it's vast) that are in December 25th yet:

edit: THere are actually a couple of others
Anadyr, Kamchalka, Auckland, Kiritimati, Majuro, Suva, Chatham Islands, Wellington, Nukualofa, Funafuti, Yaren
So if you're in or near those places, Merry Christmas.
Well that's exactly what i was thinking, since no-one really celebrates christmas the second it gets to 12:00.Altorin said:
As far as I know, I'm getting Assassins Creed 2, a series DVD of The Thick of It and an iTunes gift card. Not much but now the novelty of the festive season is starting to wear off a tiny bit.
I got a sweet strobe tuner and a soldering station for the solstice. I gave my mom some violin albums and the most important book in music [http://aebersold.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=V01DS&Category_Code=AEBALL]. Waiting to swap gifts with everyone else until tomorrow. I foresee a significant growth in my Steam account.
