Figured it's about time by now for this years (or last years (wait until 2009, then this will make sense) thread.

In this thread you discuss what you got for xmas, what you got people, what your plans are for xmas/new years.. Hell, even discuss xmas origins, santa, etc.
 
Here's what I'm hoping to get for Christmas:

- Radio
- Motherboard, specifically socket AM2+
- One or more pairs of pants
- Some Magic the Gathering cards
- Socks (a merry-Christmas prerequisite)

Here's what I'm getting people for Christmas:

- A teddy bear wearing paper lobster-claw mittens and a punny poem for my girlfriend (long story)
- A card for my family

I'd get better gifts, but I have exactly $34.91 to my name, $7.60 of which is earmarked for bus tickets so I can get to work. And I don't get paid until the 26th. :|
 
Bubble party in a Subiaco nightclub on Chrissy eve, then will go down and visit my brother and my little nephew the day after.


Then on New Years eve, hittin it up in Northbridge. New Years day, we've got the Perth Cup (horse racing) in Ascot... a few days after that we've got Summerdayze (Dance Festival = Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Eric Prydz, TYDI, Calvin Harris etc etc.)


Which reminds me, i promised a bootleg for Virus. Shit. Where did that charming ****** go?

4 manga and a music cd. There was another cd I wanted in addition, but it went right out of stock when I wrote it on my xmas list :(
Not the greatest xmas ever, but oh well.

I spent way more on other people than I'm getting.
 
I had a Happy New Year Birthday image, but I can't find it anymore. <sigh>
 

I read the pictures instead of the words, and I was like "Lolwut four anime and a road?"

I'm getting a Big Day Out ticket (NZ/Australia's answer to Lollapalooza, but not as good, for those of you playing at home).

I got mum a lightsabre and dad a foam dart gun, my brother a Pokemon action figure, my sister a Joker action figure, and my youngest brother a Spiderman action figure. **** yeah, toys.

But bears don't have claws.
 
What i want
Weight set
Trench Coat
Rad silver-colored steel-toe boots
Soul Calibur 3
Left 4 Dead
 
What i have bought so far: New canalphones, lots of albums and LOTS of firework.
 
I'm planning on getting something special for a friend to give her when we get back in school from break. I have no idea what the **** to get her.
 
****, I should have asked for plates! We need plates. And a vacuum, and a computer desk, and a TV, and bowls, and a kitchen table, and chairs...
 
I pretty much get everything the months before xmas. On the day its more like get a random thing I don't expect. What I've gotten in the past month (anime dvds): DBZ: season 7, movies 5-6, DBGT season 1, Yuu Yuu Hakusho seasons 1-2, Blue Gender (complete), Samurai 7 (complete). Annnnd Fallout 3 collector's edition. I don't feel TOO greedy about it since I let my brother see most of it too (everything up to and including YYH). But yeah, I pretty much have been on a super spending spree and I know I have to slow down. (I don't normally buy this much stuff >_<)
 
Bah, i just figured out I could've saved YYH season 2 and DBGT for xmas day, since I only recently got'm. Oh well.
 
I'm not going to bother ****ing around and ordering Yuu Yuu Hakusho. To the store it is.
 
pffft ?.?

It happens every year...


Oh wait. :smoking:
