Raining_again Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Well 4 weeks today until christmas! we got our tree up today and its looking very pretty and its put me in the christmas spirit! Has anybody started their christmas shoppin yet, anything you looking foward to santa bringing? sorry if this is a lil bit early but ya know i got excited
Bowser57 Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Personally I refer to it as Winter Festival. I've bought a present for my gf, but nothing else just yet. I hope to get it all sorted out online very soon. For me I can't decide if I'll ask my folks to chip in and help me get a 360 or if I'll get Animal Crossing on the DS and a couple of bits and bobs.
Haver Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 It's alright. What's on the Christmas list games-wise, forumites?
Strider Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 We usually "trim up" around the 5th december....I dont know if we'll be getting a real tree (they smell the best when you come down stairs in the morning) Santa will be bringing me A drum Kit (which we have orded and arrived) Mario kart + usb dongle (" ") Some magic tricks (" ") I was thinking about GUN but i dont know if its any good....but there you go. christmas rules!
Infinete Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 dont start hanging decerations till at least 5 december, latest 10th, but santa will be bringing me an electric guitar and accessaries, and possbly some other stuff.
CooInTheZoo Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 My parents are putting half towards my 360ness. Hopefully putting the tree up next weekend, YAY!
Blackfox Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Bah humbug. I dont get into the spirit until the 15th. As for xmas presents - i haven't gave a thought to it. <3 rampant capitalism.
dukkadukka Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 in a couple of weeks i might be ready for this thread, but i get christmas overload if i'm thinking about it for months ahead.
Caris Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Hmmm my list, New Graphics Card. 360 Headset. maby a game or 2. as for other people i havnt bought yet, im levaing it till the last minute as i do every year
Hellfire Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I'm living away from my parents, so there's no christmas spirit or decoration in this house. I'll see if I can get some money to buy something for my parents and I'm going to ask for Mario & Luigi, maybe Santa can hear me
soag Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I've been in the christmas spirt since boxing day last year, I love it so much . At the mo i have to buy loads of pressies should do it next week, santa never brings me anything though hes a bad man
Ashley Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Not done any shopping yet, need to find time to. Trying to organise it with friends but its going nowhere fast. And as far as a list it consists of the following so far; Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing Rufus Wainwright - Want The Movies The £33 PS2 I got a month ago and is sat in my room If santa is feeling really generous I'd like my PC back too.
Charlie Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Bah humbug. I dont get into the spirit until the 15th. . I'm with you on this one, Foxy. No Christmas tree until the weekend closest to the 15th. Christmas music is acceptable at the start of December though. Putting a tree up now is way too early, even if it is the first Sunday of advent, wait until December, at least. I've now decided I want a new phone. There's no way I'll be getting an Xbox 360 or iPod Video, they're just too expensive.
Josh64 Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I Haven't got my decorations up yet, its perhaps a bit early... they usually go up the first weekend including the tree but this year its gonna be extra special because... we might have a real tree! Although this will mean we can't put the tree up so early been as it would probly die its worth it! I love christmas! This year im getting Mario kart ds! havent thought of anything else though. I mite start christmas shopping tomorrow, althogh its probly gonna be tuesday, im getting choclates for most of my friends and for my best friend im getting a lightening lava lamp, theyre new, look in the new argos! I was planning on getting viewtiful joe double trouble for chrristmas too but it seems its not out until january. Oh well, its gonna be a very merry christmas! I might look for an advent calendar aswell! they always make it feel like christmas!
Stocka Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I never look forward to it till the start of December, when I start my advent calendar and the tree is up Damm haven't done any xmas shopping at all yet. Oh and all I'm getting from my parents this year is the Xbox 360 Premium Pack. Not allowed anything else, afterall its £280
Katie Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I've started my christmas shopping, got a couple of things yesterday. We haven't put the decorations up yet, probably will in the first week of December. I can't wait for christmas this year and a trip home to my family.
Sarka Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 We put our tree up the weekend closest 15th aswell. Didn't realise anyone else did that. So far I've bought: Crumb-pets's for my mother and soon I'll be getting: Soul Calibur 3 for my brother Some crappy PC FPS for onw of my friends Some crappy PS2 FPS for another one of my friends Some crappy Country CD for my Dad Some great Nightmare Before Christmas cutlery set for one of my friends I'm making a Big Book of Hot Bassists for one of my friends A bag and Pokemon Leaf Green for my gf That should do... And for me: A Camcorder Ossu! Tatakae! Ouendan! (ordered) Mario and Luigi 2 Edge subscription (ordering this minute) Possibly Electoplankton (pre-order) My Christmas's are always thought out well. :wink:
Wesley Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I haven't got anyone anything yet and don't have a clue what I'm getting them. So I've decided to be simple (and cheap) and only spend thought on my girlfriends present and buy everyone else chocolates.
Ninty 182 Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Ahh Christmas has come at the worst time. I now have to buy a ton of presents (well cheap things for my family ) and have no money. I thought about giving my mum a CD I downloaded from the computer but then I might look cheap. Especially if she gets me something expensive and I've ended up spending 50p on a blank CD to burn it onto
Indigo Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Damn, what is it with you people putting up Christmas decorations so early? There are 12 days of Christmas, not 30.
Raining_again Posted November 27, 2005 Author Posted November 27, 2005 awk but gettin into the christmas spirit is fun i got all my presents bought a month ago, spent a damn fortune - about £70 per person. i didn't really want much tho, just a few cds or sumthin would do me rightly.
dukkadukka Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Damn, what is it with you people putting up Christmas decorations so early? There are 12 days of Christmas, not 30. but the twelve days of christmas start on christmas day. is that when your family put up the tree?
Indigo Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Sure, there's getting into the Christmas spirit, but then there's also getting sucked into what Christmas is steadily becoming - a masquerade for commercialism. If it wasn't for high-street stores starting their Christmas advertising so early every year, Christmas wouldn't even be on anyone's minds until at least December. but the twelve days of christmas start on christmas day. is that when your family put up the tree? We usually put the tree up on Christmas Eve, or the 23rd. And it's always a real tree; none of that fake plastic nonsense.

Guest Jordan Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I'm getting one of two options: 1, XBOX360 Premium with Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo or 2, Creative Portable Media Center and a couple of Hard drives (yes, i'm somehow running out). And other things from the family.
