[NEW]What did you get for Christmas?

Fallstel - that is funny. The book list is exactly what I should have used for my brother, as he requested "anything on surviving armageddon/zombies/etc" . My favourite part of christmas is just being with my family. I hope they like their presents. I think turning Christmas into a completely materialistic time ruins it.
 
I know i'll get what i want because i orderedmost of it myself. It's really just WoW, a couple months subscription, and Family guy Season 5. I just asked for money from most relatives, because FFIII and XII all come out next year :( and i'm using it and the remains of £300 i won to buy a wii(anything leftover will be spenton either FF.)

As you may have guessed, Xmas is COMPLETELY materialistic for me.
 
Money that I paid for the Wii with, Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin, Red Steel, Twilight Princess, old horror movies like Creepshow and It, and money.

Edit: ^ That's what I got.
 
I want the OST for Tales of Destiny Remake. It the last CD to my collection. Hey I'm a Tale of collecter. I even last tales of the World for the GBA not roms

Awesome Bro

well I WANT a ps3 but want happen. But this what i will get
-a Prepaid Credit Card from my mom with 60 bucks on it to play PSU online
- money from day
- money or gift card for ebgames from my sis
- hmv gift card from 1 of my aunts(she allways gives me this)

thats all. Not lots but i dont mind.
 
I'm looking out for one of those Chotto Shot camera things for the PSP. Though, it won't come out in my country till after christmas, so theres almost no chance of it, oh well.
 
Well, I hope that I finally get 1 gig of ram. Actually, I think I already got it because the conversation I just had with my mom made her kind of give it away :P Hmm..Asked for a Wii, and some other things for my skateboard, and bike.

Santa doesn't shop in the UK man. All of his stuff is manufactured in an invisible building by 3 foot elfs and fairies. GOD! Don't you know anything?

I've been looking into the Wii an awful lot and they are pretty nifty. I definately wouldn't mind getting one myself! The most appealing thing is the fact i can get moderate exercise in the comfort of my own home WHILST enjoying gaming. I think this is the console to turn me back into a nerd =]

I find it a little depressing when families just give their kids money for xmas and tell them to get presents. Isn't the whole point trying to pick out something kinda fun to show you've been thinking about the person? Just giving someone money well before christmas makes it a totally impersonal, entirely "gimme gimme" oriented holiday, in my opinion. I find that sad, and a bit soulless.

I got some excellent presents for my girlfriend and her family; since I know she browses the forums sometimes I will wait until after xmas to post them. As for me, all I seriously want is a nice day, some tasty food, and some time with my girlfriend - and my family but I can't do that this year. I am also very excited to meet my girlfriend's mother this year. If I do get a present, I suppose some warm socks or a few english fantasy novels would be nice.

I do agree, but it just makes life easier for parents who cannot please their teenage sons & daughters as they have no idea what to get them. I know from experience as one christmas i didn't like one gift i recieved. Of course I was overwhelmed with their efforts, but realistically, it was utter crap :P

I'd never say anything, or show that i feel this way, but money is just cool. My mum would never JUST give me money despite how much i beg. There's always a good amount of gifts there come morning ;)
 
I'll get a new ski jacket from my mother,
My father will give me half the money I need to get my car,
I'll get random stuff from my gramps/girlfriend/friends/whatever

and I bought myself a Wii with TP and will buy a car.

I can tell you now that the definate gifts for me are Socks and Calenders .. .but I want the Detectives series on DVD and Alcohol ... of course a kiss under the mistletoe never goes amiss :>
 
My brother gave me almost $1000 a few days ago, since he just got a $30000+ bonus for signing back on with the Navy for four more years... so I'm going to buy myself an Ibanez RGex1 and a Marshall AVT50X. And that's good enough for me.
