The 'What did you get for Christmas?' Thread

[Chi's Finest]

New TV (Finally HDTV)
Guitar Hero 3
Zapper/Link's Crossbow
Wii Points
Clothes
Gift Cards for a lot of fast food places, since I eat out a lot (BK, Subway, Gas Card, etc)
Cologne

I think thats it. I'm happy I got an HDTV finally, but I'm super mad about GH3. I was playing it today on my regular TV and I **** on every song, but now I can barely even pass a song, or sometimes not at all now that I'm playing on my HDTV. The lag is unbelievable. I tried using the lag option, but it didn't really help.

 

[craiigg]

I gots

- Guitar Hero 3 for Wii
- New phone
- Air force ones

- Family Guy and Simpsons Dvds

- Pack of books and things for my theory driving test

[Red Exodus]

A little off topic but it's kinda unfortunate that Wii has so many attachments, parents get confused with all of them so easily because they're uneducated [unless they straight up ask you what it does or if you want it or what do you want] about the peripherals.

I got like 2 or 3 unnecessary things and I feel bad because I'll never use them but if I use them I probably won't enjoy it.

 

[Coen]

Holy crap :/

I never get ANYTHING for Christmas.

 

[Xerck Xon Skyes]

Christmas was all year round for me this year. If that is taken into account then I got:

A membership to the gym (whole family got this, but we are dropping it cause no one really uses it now)

Weight Watchers Membership (I was doing what ever I could to keep to my goal of losing weight, and Weight WatcheR+Gym Membership= Holy Crap it works very well, so don't laugh)

Three Week Road trip to San Fanscico, Fort Myers Flordia, and back to PA (More of a Graduation gift, but meh)

A laptop (this was a need)

Four years of college (paid for through scholarships and loans, but I'll end up having to pay for this in the end)

Clothes (A need for college)

So on Chrismas I got only two things from my parents, fifty dollars (I'm a poor college student) and a Gumball machine (To help pay for Laundry)

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
A note saying that Brawl's been preordered
Metroid Prime 3*
Mario Strikers Charged*
WarioWare: Smooth Moves*
F-Zero GX
Metroid Prime
Super Paper Mario*

* Means this was in a Wii Bundle.

And my favorite candy... TURTLES!!!

 

[choknater]

ok so the girl i like brought me aside into a hallway, which was lighted really nicely.

i had given her a card earlier so she bit my idea lol. but on her card, the front said "open this over your head, with your eyes closed as if you were in bed."

i half expected dumbly that something would fall on my head.

there was mistletoe in the card, and she kissed me on the cheek. she likes me too.

hooray for a sweet gift! yayuhzzzz! i got other stuff, but this takes the cake. some of the best gifts don't cost any green! (unless she bought the mistletoe for a few cents haha)

edit: wow, though patinator's wii bundle definitely beats this.

 

[FangzV]

I got...

-Money
-Bubble Wrap (sweeeeet)
-Candy
-A new DS Lite

-Gift cards for book stores
-New iPod headphones

-Some iPod speaker thing
-The Simpsons Movie DVD
-Mario Party DS
-Rayman Raving Rabids 2

That's the basic outline of stuff I got.

 

[Darkurai]

Since FangzV is my sister, I mostly got what she got.
But I was making out with my girlfriend a lot yesterday, so I'm not really thinking much of it.

 

[fluffy]

most of you are spoiled : (

i hate you guys

 

[Patinator]

Now what did we all do to deserve hate?! X_X

 

[Sun-Wukong]

I got a Wii, along with a classic controller from my brother, and a copy of Sonic and the Secret Rings from my sister(As a Target exclusive bonus, it came with a DVD with a comic on it). Aside from that, I got a DVD of Deuce Bigalow European Gigolo(If you haven't seen it, trust me, it's really funny), a bunch of action figures of Vegeta, an action figure of EarthWorm Jim, a 20Q, and some books. I also got some candy, some toys, some fruit, and some more books in my stocking. I got to open some stuff early too, I got a transformers dish set from my other sister, and some other stuff.

 

[fluffy]

Now what did we all do to deserve hate?! X_X

for being very fortunate and spoiled

 

[Blazey]

Jeez man, you need to accept that some families are better off than others and so can afford more expensive gifts for their relatives. My mum was just able to only get that slab of beer for me but in our current situation I'm happy she could get me anything at all.

 

[ZM2004]

What did I get?
NOTHING!

What did I ask for?
NOTHING!

What did I do?
NOTHING!

I think I cleaned up my room a bit, but that's all. I also watched Batman Returns (which has a Christmas theme) so I guess it is a slight improvement over last year's Christmas.

 

[Zero_P]

I didn't get much, but then again I didn't ask for any and I wasn't expecting any gifts.

Ipod nano
Super Mario galaxy


I'm a happy panda

 

[Patinator]

Yes. Normally I would get a larger Christmas (Yes larger than that paragraph of death.), but this year, my mother's surgery cost us a lot. I hate doctors and hospitals and their greed, lemme tell ya.

But I'm not sad at all! This was the best Christmas I've ever had!

Besides, shouldn't "good" people be happy for others that are fortunate? Isn't that in the moral code, if you get what I mean...

Besides, we're not bragging.

 

[fluffy]

There is no such code.

- Navigation system (never will I be lost on the streets again :D )

Velvet Underground 'Peel Slowly and See' Boxset

.....I envy you.....

 

[Venom Dream]

Technically, it was a gift from me. I gave it to my aunt, and she burned herself copies and insisted I take the real ones back. One of my uncles got copies of them too.

....I still envy you....

So, it's basically everything that VU EVER recorded?

Yup. All of their albums, plus extra demos and live tracks

I think 'The Gift' is my favorite song.

[Sandy]

I got the Wii Zapper and some clothes. But I bought a Gibson Epiphone electric
guitar with my Xmas money the day after so I'm content

 

[Aaryk]

I got NiGHTS: Journey into Dreams.
Anyone who has a wii or played the original NiGHTS, please, for the love of small kittens, get this game.
It's beautiful, fun, innovative, and has bad voice acting. What else could you ask for in a Japan hit?

it always struck me as too fantastic
fantastic has a connotation: "awesome or outstanding"
but whenever i use the word fantastic
i am referring to the genre of FANTASY
forever dreaming..
