Default 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

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.

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.

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.


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.
