The Christmas / New Years Thread! YAY

[Skaadi]

Eh, Christmas just doesnt seem as exciting now that I'm older.

 

[Jintor]

Atheist and christmas?

THIS IS MADNESS.

No, this is commercial recognition of the need to only be happy for other people once a year.

In other news, I expect to probably get book vouchers on Christmas, knowing my family. I got my mum the Heroes Boxset, my brother Harry Potter 5, and my Dad Casino Royale.

Do i still get kicked into a well?

 

[Lucid]

Turns out my girl is getting me a Wii with Metroid Prime 3.
And my father is getting me Call of Duty 4, two copies so we can LAN it up.
I suspect that everyone else is getting me various articles of clothing, posters, DVDs, and cash.

I got my girl a bottle of Goldschlagar, ever since SuperBad she's been dying to try it. :|
Along with House Seasons 1 & 2.
I got my dad House Seasons 1 & 2 along with an authentic NFL Patriots hoodie.
Got my mom a new microwave and set of pans.

Do i still get kicked into a well?

No, but I'm sure the ballpit at Chuck E. Cheese's will suffice.

/me gets kicky stick

 

[Xendance]

This is clever. You decided to "come in early" because you just wanted to be the first one who starts a christmas thread, so that yours could remain the official one when everyone starts making their own christmas threads!

He wanted it to become his first, EVER, stickied thread.

 

[scotland1]

With two mystery games. Oooh!

 

[Jintor]

Didn't Nintendo express their dissatisfaction with that?

Anyway, happy <holiday name here> everyone!

 

[Jintor]

Twas the day of Christmas and my fingers are covered in blood. What's up with that?

 

[Qonfused]

I've been given the choice to open my presents tonight or tomorrow morning...

 

[Bad^Hat]

So, this was a pretty sweet christmas. The first one in years where I've had a substantial present that I haven't known about in advance. Apparently I haven't outgrown the surprise either, since I was still giddy as hell both before and after. My roommate and I (I keep calling her that, but we're practically a couple) exchanged gifts, neither of us having any inkling as to what the other got us. I feel confident in saying that we were both quite pleasantly surprised.

Mine (from her) -

Hers (from me) -

The car is awesome - ignore the pink (she did), it's a ****in beast. The guy in the store sold me on it by showing me their display model, which had been run over by a car and was barely scratched. WTF.

And yeah. Bongos are fun.


Merry Christmas y'all! not as merry as mine, though!

 

[TCfromBN]

I'll be getting my real car fixed.

It's going to cost $5,000 (USD).

 

[ericms]

I ate chocolate mousse, something that's clearly exclusive to Christmas.

 

[sinkoman]

****, I STILL Don't have anything for my mum.

 

[Seppo]

I have a new Mp3 player now, Creative MuVo V100. It's great.

 

[Qonfused]

Those are nice.

 

[nofx]

[AKIRA]

im hoping to get a 360 or a new graphics card so i can finally get the orange box

 

[watermonster]

It's already a Merry Christmas this part of the world - so yeah, high spirits to all!
We didn't do much celebrating. Christmas Eve, we drank some red wine and went to bed. It's not our holiday and we get presents for New Year.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Laptop, Rock Band, Mass Effect, money. Woo.

[Tagaziel]

I refuse to celebrate a barbarian's holiday

Numbers, Europe was civilized long before you came down from the trees and learned to wipe yourself.

I finally got that stuffed tiger I wanted. And Vonnegut's "Welcome to the monkeyhouse".

 

[Lucid]

Got Call of Duty 4 and a XFX PVT88PYDE4 GeForce 8800GT 512MB PCIE XT from my parents, a Wii with Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 from my girl, and various articles of clothing and miscellaneous items from the siblings.

And a ****ing sweet headache from last night.

 

[Baal]

I'm getting sick of this rampant gift giving, I have to tell you. I love Christmas as much as the next person, but it's getting retarded. In my city, I have the following people I have to definitely buy for:

Mom
Dad
Two Sisters
Brother in Law
Aunt

Then I have one cousin, daughter of the Aunt, that I'm never sure if I have to buy her something. I bought her something last year, but then she didn't get me anything, so I didn't give her the gift so that I could avoid the "oh well I didn't get you anything" embarrassment on her part. So then my mom re-gifts that gift this year to someone else, but now my cousin got me something this year.

I'm sitting here now, basically screwed into giving her cash in some random Christmas card.

Then, I have another cousin and her husband that live in my city too, whom I have to buy for. It's getting ridiculous, and it must be stopped.

And I love Christmas, too, I swear :|

 

[ailevation]

Merry Christmas all!

I just got money from my mom her boyfriend and my brother and a t-shirt from my brother.

I gave out a printer to my mom's boyfriend, got my mom a jacket, my brother a dvd player and my girlfriend a purse.
