Magnus Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I got a 3DS that I have to share with my brother. Of course, I already knew that, since I'm the one who bought it. Still, pretty awesome. In Denmark we open out presents on Christmas Eve, and I'm mighty pleased with mine! I got a new bedsheet Your post should have ended there.

Sheikah Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You bought it but are sharing it with your brother? That's quite generous of you! I'd recommend Mario Kart and Tales of the Abyss, although you might find the latter quite hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I bought it but my parents are paying for it, since it's a Christmas gift. Though I would have shared it either way, because I'm nice like that. Already planning to get Mario Kart 7 at some point after I'm done with Super Mario 3D Land. I'll get Tales of the Abyss if Bamco ever does a second printing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I bought Ine fuck all. Doesn't matter, I don't need you for presents. I got: set of cutting boards like I already knew (they're nice), two cds (belgian bands), two Disney dvds (Lion King and Oliver & Co), some socks, some scented sticks to put in a room, a weird keyring thing with a whistle (mom said how my R2D2 Lego one looked ugly, pfff) and Super Mario 3D Land. Yay! Also a bit tipsy, whooo, wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 My family just opened all our presents. I don't understand how I get better and better hauls each year - usually it's the opposite as you get older/leave childhood behind in the rearview. I'm so stunned. MUSIC The XX - The XX (Vinyl0 Drake - Take Care (CD) Feist - Metals (CD) The Unthanks new live thingie (CD) Joni Mitchell - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter (CD) -technically bought myself but wanted to receive today DVD's Tree of Life Modern Family Season 1 (A joke thing, heard it's good) Richard Dawkin's Collection Wolverine & The X-Men Complete Collection (A stunningly great thing) Bolt - a joke, as I've never seen. Some random ones from our family secret santa - Like fine but means nothing/I wouldn't choose them. A set of good quality Oil paints, with some brushes AND zest-y stuff. This stuns me as I'm in such a mood to paint. New bottle of HUGO BOSS - Bottled Night. I was running out so this is good. CLOTHES A stunning/I would buy for myself grey (my new colour) jumper. a lovely fit. One of the current Rihanna Loud-era t-shirts from Topman. I love so much. A T-shirt I asked for from the Hayward Gallery website, of the painting Red Antipodean by George Condo. A pair of Calvin Klein trunks. Mmm yes. A spiky earring. SO MUCH LINDT LINDOR CHOCOLATE - Give it 2 me Some Harribo Galaxy Selection Box Arguably my favourite presents - a 2012 Official Taylor Swift calendar + a poster from a family friend's daughter (who's 8), with whom we share Taylow love, just saying "I <3 Taylor Swift". Yes. Erotic Fridge Poetry. I love. £15 Edinburgh Filmhouse voucher - so classy. OH AND £100 from my mum, so unnecesarry but so appreciated. A few other bits, face cloth, ipod-to-car radio transmittor thing etc. We still do stockings for a lol, but just do little joke things, like cheap plastic toys and stuff. So yeah, I'm really grateful. My mum got 2 iPads, so she could choose which she wanted most. Everyone was like "!!!!!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolFunkMan Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 My cousin visited earlier, so I have another gift to add to my list: Magic the Gathering - Innistrad Intro Pack (Carnival of Blood.) Glad to hear everyone's had awesome presents! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Clothes, candy and money. Same procedure as every year. I don't get my family. I have spesifically told them I don't want clothes and the candy is mostly of the luxury kind that is meant to be good but really isn't. What's wrong with dvds? It's the perfect gift if you don't know what to buy someone in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 My family are really cool. Here's a list of what they got me. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Xbox 360 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 for the Xbox 360 A Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows money tin (which won't open! ) £50 A thermal hat and scarf Socks Gloves A very awesome coat which I adore too much A very awesome black and white checkered scarf which goes awesomely with the coat A pair of trainers A pair of sneakers All in all, genuinely love my presents! :D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Socks and pajama bottoms!

Ganepark32 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Modern Family Season 1 (A joke thing, heard it's good) No joke thing about it, Modern Family is good. Fantastic even. Watch it and love it. Anyway, I got: £200 from parents (wasn't expecting as much so nice) Some aftershave from sister/nephew Gift card for Gamestation (no idea how much is on it. Would've preferred a HMV one as I'm not looking to buy games but guess I can get Skyrim now ) Box of Lindt extra dark chocolate Lindor truffle things (these'll be gone by midnight ) £60 from my Grandmother A nice collection of gifts. Although the best gift, I have to say, was watching my nephew open the presents I gave him and then enacting a full scale war, with Pearl Harbour-esque moments. Such a great kid. Didn't play with anything else for an hour. So who's going out tomorrow to brave the sales? I will be but I need to make sure I don't buy a pair of headphones. I've got my eye on a pair of the new QuietComfort noise cancelling headphones by Bose but really shouldn't be buying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEVILMURRAY Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 At present: A mouse which looks like it's from a Mac, Two pairs of socks and a mug with some marshmallows, hot chocolate and chocolate. That's pretty much it for the day. I think I may have guilted my Mum into getting me Mario Kart 7 depending on later outcomes. I know she said she was going to concentrate more on the stepgrandkids, which is fair enough - they're only young 'uns. But I wasn't expecting total abandonment. Ah well. But tomorrow it's off to Daddy's for the other half of the family's presents. Peanut butter cereal for what the fuckingz ... Whatever rings ye sleigh bells mate.
