Posted November 25, 2007 Hello there, merry forum goers. With advent nearly upon us, I propose we use this excellent thread for discussing those things pertaining to the Christmas season, such as the giving and receiving of gifts, and jolly old Saint Nick. (this being said, I have doubts about the existence of the man) Personally I would like to recieve Mario Galaxy, or possibly the amusingly titled "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic games".

Posted November 25, 2007 I prefer being too cold to being too hot, so winter is quite nice in a way. This Christmas I might finally get a Wii, provided I find one for a reasonable price somewhere, which may not be too likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2007 I want it to snow so much so I can go Snowboarding/Sledging, have snowball fights and make a snow base But before that, I should really start with my Christmas shopping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2007 It was lights-on in my town today! This year they've gone and taken away all the tacky multicoloured lights, and instead just have white one! It's really pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2007 It's hard to escape Christmas when you work at John Lewis and everyone is buying gifts for other people. Still need to get some people their present though (like Zell...not idea what i'm getting him). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2007 Went out and got Mario Galaxy (for someone to give me at christmas) and whilst there I got pokemon diamond. I'd been a bit too embarrassed to get it before but I saw my chance, told the cashier it was a christmas present for someone else, and snuck it home to play for myself. 'Back of the net!'

Posted November 25, 2007 Done half of my shopping on play.com last night. Now just need to pick up a few small gifts to accompany what I ordered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2007 Yeah, Christmas is quite made of win a lot. Hows you're shopping going? I think Id be inclined to hazard a guess at a little over 50% done, which is suprising, Ive never done so much so early really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2007 I have completed all my Christmas shopping. I've bought: Nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2007 5% done =( stuff to order, moneys to spend, i do hate spending moneys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2007 Haven't done any Christmas shopping at all yet. Probably start doing it around the 15th which should give me plenty of time. Only getting presents for family and 1 close friend, it just gets messy buying stuff for mates. No idea what I'm getting anyone yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
