What'd you get for Christmas?
 

Okay, so it may seem a bit early to start this thread already, but I for one am celebrating Christmas tomorow since C Day isin't as fun as C Eve. That's just how I've allways done it. And I've also decided to start this thread now because I hardley ever am on the comp. in mornings, so... Yep.
I already know one thing I'm getting tommorow, (okay so I peeked), and from some elderly people of my family, it is an almighty colering book with crayons.... Well, it's the thought that counts, right? I am grateful though :).

My family and I have not exchanged gifts yet, as we generally do that on Christmas day. My aunt had to leave early to go visit her daughter who lives in Birmingham, AL, and could not be home for Christmas due to her work, so she went ahead and gave me my present earlier this week-15 pounds of elk meat cut into steaks, burgers, filet mignons, etc., shipped on dry ice from a company out west, and my Cajun "family" down in Louisiana sent me my usual annual 10 pounds of 'gator meat, along with a box of boudin sausages(also shipped on dry ice-my yard looked quite interesting after yesterday's heavy rains), so now I've got a freezer full of meats that you just can't find in the supermarket! My aunt also gave me a sterling silver ring with an amber setting, since we both love amber, and I just now realized that there are two elephants supporting the round amber stone with their tusks!

I open one gift tomorrow night then early in the morning of Christmas we open the rest!

I already know I'm getting these because I had to pick them out for my dad: FMA Vol 1 "The Curse", PoTC II (the special edition) PHP for Teens (a book, I need better web design skills) and my dad has promised me some cash so I can buy two of the Foster's shirts on the Hot Topic online store!

I'll take pictures of my loot once the big day comes :)

so do i hooray! oh well, back on topic. all ive gotten so far is 30 bucks by my grandpa. now to figure out what to waste it on..

(ill post again later when i figure out whatelse i get on Xmas Day)

well, hopefully i'll get CD's and MAYBE a .30-30...i didn't specifically ask for it but i dropped hints like crazy

gator meat is sooooo damn tasty! 10 lbs. OMG i would gorge myself...

My friends exchange gifts on Yule usually and it was fun this year. I got a necklace; Giardia, Mad Cow, and Syphilis from another (they are microbes from ThinkGeek.com); a Ramones collage; and finally A Venom tee and action figure from my g/f. And I get more from my family.

I think I know what I might get, but I could be wrong. Were opening our presents tonight, and tomorrow we just have like a 'family' time :terrsmile:

My Grandma has her Christmas on Christmas Eve(which it today); I got a sketchbook and a book on drawing manga(not one of the crappy ones either! It's a NICE one!) from my friend. Anywayz, I'll post back later today and tomorrow with whatever else I receive.

I'll post tommorow. Yeah, my Nana does that to SM we dinner tonight. *sobs because of waiting*

I think I got some of those weird SW-Transformer things for my collection, (I saw it in my mom's closet when I was getting her computer...OOPS!:o )

Yep, it is...and I can make a pretty awesome jambalaya myself, using a recipe I learned from the late, great Justin Wilson himself! Good thing about 'gator meat-it's not fattening, which is more than I can say about the rest of the stuff I eat this time of year!

My father usually gives me money for Christmas, which usually goes to pay bills and the property taxes on my home, which are due in January, sadly. I seldom have any left over to buy something I want. That just leaves my sister and my brother, and I haven't even gotten any clues as to what they will get me. My sister usually gets me something to wear, and my brother usually gets me something computer-related, like graphic software or a subscription to an online science magazine. My best friend and I exchange gifts on New Year's, since she usually goes to West Virginia to visit her parents on Christmas. Most of the time, she indulges me with a huge box of sugar-free chocolates, so I can't complain.

I always give people decorative wall calenders for Christmas, since a calender is something everyone needs, to keep up with appointments and whatnot, and something they can use all year-long, literally. I pick them based on something that the person is interested in, like my aunt, for instance. She has a Jack Russell Terrier she's crazy about, so I get her a JRT calender. My sister is into horses, so I get her a horse calender. My dad is interested in weather phenomenon, so I got him an "Extreme Weather" calender, which has really cool pics of bizarre lightning strikes and tornadoes and such. Thought I'd toss that out there in case some of you might be "stuck" on what to give someone next year.

Same here! I'm trying to decide which one I wanna open today. I'm thinkin the CD-shaped one. Please be Oingo Boingo!

That, or my turn table. Which I know I got because my brother told me. ;)

Wocky is that Ziggy Stardust avatar? LOL +1

The red hot mullet! It persuades you!

Lots of chocolate, Pirates of the Carribean 2 dvd, booze, pj's, money which got paid on vegetables, new speakers and more chocolate. OH. And the Wonderful Wizard of Oz animation dvd set. And I guess Eduardo.

I got to open one right now, and it was a Faber-Castell marker set :] I love it lots! expect marker Fanart xDD

So word on the street is you SUCK. XD I had a set of prismacolors years ago. They got lost, one by one. :'(


Btw I opened my one present. It was SPAAACEEE ODDITYYYYY on CCCDDDD. :bloocross: I love this album so much.

I think Ziggy Stardust is one of my favorite songs BTW.

I opened all my presents!

From these people my mom knows, I got a nice new coat. New boots. A pocketbook that that was 60 dollars :o! A bunch of bath&body wash, a manicure set, a sweater, and some other nice stuff. From other folks in my family I got clothes, a Peanuts colering pad (not the colering book I mentioned earlier. I love Peanuts!) A new tape recorder, more bath&body wash, paint by numbers kit, AND THREE ADORABLE FURRY KITTENS!!!-they're not real guys. Only fake, but they are soooooooooo cute! And some other stuff.

I just got the FMA movie Conqueror of Shamballa from my cousin. ^^ He's the one who actually got me into watching it. Thing is...I can't watch it until I've finished watching the rest of the series. D= I'm up to episode 37...Can't find it on google video or youtube. Planning to download it from this site I found tomorrow maybe...

I got $25 from my Dad's side secret santa.

...And I got Grandma coupons. =3 My Grandma got creative a few years back, and now instead of giving us grandkids presents, we get 6 coupons each, redeemable as trips to the mall, movies, spending the night at her house...And this is a sweet deal 'cause our Gramma's KEWL. :D


Tomorrow, I know I'm gettin' $225 from my parents. Heh, I never decided on want I wanted for my birthday, so they added $100 on top of the $125 they decided to spend each on us kids. I like to go shopping myself, so I just asked for cash.
I know what I'm getting from my sisters too. Sara got me a Cyborg 'Super-D' toy(Em can't keep her mouth shut! xD), and Em's gonna get me an Alphonse ski cap. =3 I told her I could wait to get my present from her if she just ordered that.
From one of my friends, I got a little clay Bloo that she made herself(shall I post a pic?), some Fill-Ins puzzle books and some chocolate-covered pretzels. ^^
Dunno what my other friends are getting/have gotten for me.

Ha :D I just opened my X-Mas eve pressies and it was a marker set as well! But Mine are Prismacolor :D

I opened my pressies a couple of hours ago. My sister got me a pikachu plushie wearing a christmas hat aww and my dad got me some batteries with a battery charger and I also got a nintendo DS and two games to go with it pokemon link and Spyro a new beginning.

I got comic books, "Garfield: The Tail of Two Kitties" DVD, The "Sailor Moon" movie collecor set uncut version, "Pokemon Rangers" DS game and book, The "Anastacia" soundtrack, and something I didn't expect: The "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends" Game!:wiltshock: I wasn't planning to get that, but I got it anyways. And Truffles for me!:D :D :D I have more, but I don't feel like listing the rest.

I got that for my sister. ^^ Since I don't have a GBA. It was the perfect present for me---I mean, her. 8D J/k.

What I got:

2 Disney Faries books (I <3 Tinker Bell)

2 jogging suits (white and black)

1 set of pajamas

AND BEST OF ALL:

1 White video iPod

Don't any of you dare try to steal it. :terrence:

lets see:

a sonic game for the ps2 (not sonic riders though :( )
some yugioh cards
some action figures
ton of candy
a bobblehead
a dartboard
some other stuff i forget

And blah blah blah a bunch of other stuff... but mostly importantly...

A turntable and A BUNCH OF QUEEN ALBUMS ON VINYL ALONG WITH MY GRAMPA'S BOX OF AWESOME VINYL CRAP. There was everything from the Styx to Yes to Frank Zappa to the Grateful Dead and I was so happy I was shaking for like an hour afterward. I had no idea he had all that stuff, I thought it'd all gone when my mom had a garage sale and sold all my albums for a quarter a piece. :jk:

NICE!!!!

I got 10+ classic rock albums on CD, including Beggars Banquet, Quadrophenia, and Demons & Wizards...and speaking of vinyl steals, about a year ago i found Woodstock on vinyl, part 1 and 2 for $1 a piece at a garage sale! I listened to the whole thing (5+ hours) in one sitting. OMG rocked my world!

Merry X-Mas all!

All righty, I'm going to list everything that I've received from everyone. I was definitely surprised with what I received. We did NOT open gifts until 3 PM, and I woke up around 8-9 AM (we had to wait for my older brother to show up).

- $25 gift certificate from Amazon.com
- A 2-disc audio CD with 72 hymns.
- $15 iTunes Card
- $25 Starbucks Card
- $25 Best Buy Card
- $75 Cash
- A round-trip voucher to fly anywhere in the US.

That last one made me feel emotional (in a good sense), though I liked everything I've received. It was awesome. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. ;) :)

Here's what I got, I got most of what I wanted and a few surprises too:

30$ for BestBuy
Flamezilla (Godzilla fire mouth) light up statue
Dragon Ballk Z: Budokai Tenkaji 2 (Wii)
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Wii)
Foster's home t-shirt :D!
Transformers t-shirt
Buffy the vampire slayer season 5
Aqua Teen hunger forcr season 2

And the biggest shocker of all, tickets for a vacation cruise to Mexico in january.

My brother got me software, as I predicted, Corel Draw Professional Suite, which I can't wait to try out!

My dad gave me money, which will at least mean I hopefully won't have to take out a loan to pay this month's bills.

My sister gave me pajamas and some perfume.

I still won't know what my friend Barbara gave me until New Year's Day, but that's it as far as family is concerned. Most family members naturally concentrated on buying stuff for my nieces, who are aged three(almost four)and 18 months, respectively. I have never seen so much "Dora the Explorer" stuff in my entire life! I have GOT to get those kids into Foster's, before it's too late!

-The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
-Lots of da cash monies

* = I was originally going to get a Wii with it's version of the new Zelda, but the Wii was 100% sold out everywhere I went... so I decided to get the Cube version. So I'll most likely be Wii-less until next Christmas.

Ok whoa I got quite a bit of stuff this year... I got some much-wanted awesome t-shirts (my two favorites are a Dethklok one and a Skinned Deep one with Surgeon General on it!), and I got a lot of stuff for whenever I move out of the house. I've always wanted spider web curtains, and I got a set of them! They're so delicate and lacy and... spider webby. I also got a matching spider web tablecloth. I got a toaster oven and an electric griddle :D so we're having eggs and toast on the first morning that my boyfriend and I move in together! I also got two Living Dead Dolls and for my viewing pleasure the final Gregory Horror Show, Vol 3: The Nightmare Train.

Yay... it was a good Christmas!
