Posted December 24, 2009 Since it seems no one has posted one yet (possibly because some of you don't get your presents until tomorrow), I thought I'd create this year's present thread. The title is self-explanatory: What did you get for Christmas this year? Ecstatic or pissed off? Post your presents and thoughts here. As for myself, I've so far gotten the following: - New Super Mario Bros. Wii - Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" in Danish - A large, illustrated edition of Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons" in Danish - A new set of bed sheet, pillow and duvet cover in Japanese style matching a set I already have - Party stuff: Flashing Rudolph nose, snowmen antennae thingy, and musical ties So yes, I'm very satisfied.

Change the Danish part to English and I'm jealous! I've looked everywhere for The Lost Symbol and every time, it's sold out! ARGH! lol. I'm definitely getting it next year though! Here's what I'm getting: - 4GB MP4 player - Mirror's Edge for the 360 - Devil May Cry 4 for the 360 - Ninja Gaiden II for the 360 - Def Jam: Icon for the 360 - Shirts (a cool patterned shirt and a "Mr. Greedy" t-shirt which I loved instantly) - Combat jeans - Money Overall, I'm ecstatic about what I'm getting :santa: ...and apparently I have a couple of surprises so I can't wait to see what they are tomorrow.

Posted December 24, 2009 How do you know what you're getting? Doesn't that defeat the point of having it wrapped and such? I've heard the phrase 'I've got you something. I hope you like it.' I hate hearing this - like it's my fault and I'm difficult to buy for. Either way I'm not expecting much but then I don't need anything. I'll settle for no arguments. Actually, I'd be ecstatic if that were the case - because it's not going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You and J7 (and possibly O_W) should form a group or something. :p It's not that I know what I'm gonna get - it's that we Danes open our presents Christmas Eve! Hence the "possibly because some of you don't get your presents until tomorrow" comment. EDIT: I just realised Dazz was talking in the future tense, so your comment was most likely aimed at him.

That's not very fair. We can't all be lucky enough to be flooded with gifts from our happy family.

Posted December 25, 2009 I actually knew what I'd get because... I was only planning to get one game for myself to tide me over the Christmas and New Year time. I was looking in the pre-owned section as I do and my Dad noticed it was 4 for £20 so he told me to pick the four I want. The clothes I pick because I kind of have my own style...plus I need to know if it fits me :p The MP4 player I knew because mine broke when I was helping my grandparents out with carrying a massive wardrobe upstairs...long story short...my Mom offered to buy it me because I have no money unfortunately so I accepted (this was back in September) And I normally get money from my aunt and my grandparents... And that is how I know what I definitely got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) Today I'll be opening: Pirate Latitudes - Michael Crichton and I don't know what else. I'm even totally in the dark as to what anyone has got anyone, except that my little brother (3) has a bike and my sister (7) has Meteos (DS).

No harm meant. Nor to jayseven or Oxigen_Waste, for that matter. I love you all, really. Apologies if my humour was misplaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 25, 2009 I so far just have a new United shirt with my name and 18 on the back, which is completely awesome as I haven't had a new one for probably around 7 years (too expensive!). Me and my girlfriend exchanged presents tonight because we won't be seeing each other til tomorrow evening and mine was a surprise that would have been ruined by her little brother by the time I got over there so I have that, but I don't know what else I'll get - maybe I'll let you know tomorrow, although I doubt anyone will be interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 25, 2009 Where does the tradition for opening presents on Xmas Eve come from? I don't know about other people, but in our family it is because we don't have Santa Clause, so we don't have to wait until Christmas morning for our presents. We celebrate it on Christmas Eve, with a nice meal in the evening and presents giving in between. Today we started the "festivities" at about 8 and didn't end until half past midnight (plus then an hour of cleaning heh). So I guess in a way it's Christmas already. =P Anyway, my presents: Spirit Tracks Foo Fighters: Greatest Hits A small chocolate fondue set (this, except it reads Chocolat) Some winter socks for home (with anti-slip bottom =P ) Some perfume I've never heard of before haha. A "You Are Here" bookmark. A coupon to buy a children's book. A book end (which funnily enough I had been looking at two days ago); not white but silverish. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 25, 2009 I'll re-post my list from the other thread, because it is so awesome and hardcore. - Diary - Chocolate coins - two t-shirts - boxers (with my name on) - Stubbi - Dice Game box I'm pretty happy with that, to be honest. If course I'd like more more more, but there's practical stuff that I need (diary) and fun stuff that nobody else I know possesses (dice game thing). - Fall Out Boy Greatist Hits I'm having one of those laugh/cry moments. So that's a CD with two songs on it, then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
