Presents aside, it's been a good Christmas. I've had parties with most of my family and will be having dinner with them all again tonight. :) Good to see everybody together.

[Sinewav]

Man... it's only 8pm Christmas Eve here. Lucky dog.

[The Damned]

You other-side-of-the-planet types and your multiple hours ahead of us. One day, we're going to blow up your part of the sun, and watch you freeze in the dark like the pinko commies you are! Then you'll be begging to be part of Mountain Standard Time, and we'll let you in. FOR A PRICE! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

On a more serious side... I already know what I got, so here goes:

Mario Galaxy
Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Wii component cables (should go nicely with the new HD tv I'm buying later this week)
Some other stuff. Really, who cares? Mario Galaxy!

[The Pezman]

What the hell you guys?

I'm going to MAGfest.

That's about it.

Playing Everquest 2 above 20 FPS will be my gift this year.
Couldn't spring for a PCI-x?

[Airwalker]

A few small giftcards, a new cell phone to replace my almost dead one, and Phoenix Wright 3. They are all still under the tree. It's hard to keep a secret in this household.

[Hawkwing]

Couldn't spring for a PCI-x?

maybe his mobo doesnt have pci-x

[CHIPP Damage]

I got a DVD called Love Actually.

[Beatdown]

maybe his mobo doesnt have pci-x

DING DING DING DING DING. This is a free upgrade for me.

[Global-Trance]

I already know what I got... and I'm gonna lump some stuff from my birthday since it was so close.

Lost Season 3 DVDs
Chrono Cross Original Soundtrack Piano Solo Arrangement Book
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (bought for myself)

That's about it. I don't like getting a lot of things.

[Bahamut]

No haul for me, as usual.

[Fenrir]

It's barely midnight here, no swag yet.

[The Tiger]

I suppose I am the only one who thinks that the term "Christmas haul" falls tragically short of including any notion that these are gifts people have given us...its not like we are going out fishing or something. Perhaps I am looking too much into it, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Got some great personalized gifts from people I know online already and a few from friends that live nearby. Probably the neatest is a clock/timer/alarm/thermometer that is powered by water.

[The Author]

A remote started for my car and some money to buy myself a present.

Oh I definitely agree. I don't think you're looking into it too deeply, but yeah.. we just have the obligatory annual thread to mention things frankly I guess. =)

[eternal Zero]

I got a 360 which I bought I told my dad to order on Black Friday and Halo 3...that's only the stuff I know about now, but I can assume that tomorrow there will be some little surprises here and there which'll be nice. Hopefully a HD cable for the 360 that has a vga/dvi port...since I kinda forgot to get one and am currently using composite...which blows when you're using a nice monitor.

[Antipode]

A Casio WK-8000 keyboard with stand and sustain pedal, a new jacket, and a case of beer.

[Amayirot Akago]

Lessee here: 2 GB SD memory card
1 GB USB memory stick

I hope it was a 360 Elite - the other versions of the 360 don't have an HDMI port.

[Fishy]

Games:

Call of Duty 4
UT3
Twilight Princess

Other crap:

Some smart shirts
A rawk t-shirt
Random clothes
A book "Do ants have arseholes? - And other stupid questions"

I didn't ask for much cause I WAS going to magfest, but I had to cancel.

[I-n-j-i-n]

I really, really, really, really crave for a good present, but I never got a good one in almost a decade now.

So I allowed myself an extra $100 personal allowance.

[Chapel]

I had a very electronic but un-videogame related Christmas. I received:

Clothes
New Derby
Clothes
Sax Accessories
New Sound System (4 speakers and a PA system) for my band (Woohoo)

Kinda bummed that I didn't get a Wii but I expected that. Although, with my new sound system I can start gigging and make enough to buy me one amongst other things. It was a good Christmas for me.

[Nutritious]

Here goes:

-Bourne Ultimatum
-Tedd Dekker book
-Hybrid - Wide Angle (yeah I'm behind the times)
-A Drum 'N' Bass CD my wife put together from songs she found on Amazon that she guessed I might like, which I do (yeah, she's awesome; she didn't really know the style of DnB I liked, but the songs on here are very very good)
-EWQLSO Silver (bought for myself, been saving up)

My wife owns :)

[MechaFone]

I got: 2 Classic Wii controllers, 4 thousand Wii points, a controller recharger, ooh a Wii wireless usb port ^.^ aaaaand...Naruto volumes 3 4 and 5...Ohhh yeah, AND a magnificent printer which makes cd labels and prints photos on it's own sticky film. I'll have that Cheerinos T-shirt soon :-o

[Fenrir]

I got a Wii (still en route), Twilight Princess, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, A Terry Prachett novel, a stocking full of candy, and a nice jacket.

I asked for, but was totally not expecting, the Wii.

Awesome. Now I get to fail out of college.

[Barnsalot]

Oblivion, among other items.

[Sgt. Fuzzy]

A candy cane, which actually is the most I've gotten in years.

[anosou]

Underwear, a lot of underwear.

We also (FINALLY) got wireless internet at my mom's place so I can connect my DS and my laptop without hassle. Other than that I bought myself a new 500GB FW800 harddrive for music-purposes and pretty much every ReasonBanks (www.reasonbanks.com) refill made. :3

[The Damned]

We also (FINALLY) got wireless internet at my mom's place so I can connect my DS and my laptop without hassle.

Dude. http://ocr.anticlan.net/ Sign up and get in on the internet DS playingness.

[zircon]

It has been a great Christmas (+ Eve) with family so far. Very relaxing.

* New TASCAM speakers
* Soniccare electric toothbrush
* Super Mario Galaxy
* Advent Children special edition DVD
* New long-sleeved shirt
* A book from my sister
* Address labels (since I mail stuff so often)

* Nintendo Wii plus extra controller and nunchuk and 4000 Wii points

Life is good.

[Sinewav]

Dude. http://ocr.anticlan.net/ Sign up and get in on the internet DS playingness.

I need to update my info on there. I've actually gotten a few good wireless games since then.

This was a rather amusing year for presents at my house...

"The Totally Interactive Band Bible"... looks pretty extensive, probably has some useful info in it.
"The Complete Bible Experience"... lol lots of Bibles this year. This one is a dramatic reading by the likes of Denzel Washington, Sam Jackson, and a lot of other cool black people.
"Sansa Clip" 2GB Mp3 Player... kinda looks like an iPod mini.
An Optimus Prime Voice Changer/Helmet... It doesn't cover my whole face, and it looks pretty funny. I'll try to post pictures later if anyone wants to see Optimus Prime with a beard.
Animaniacs, Vol. 3... My collection is now complete! Now on to Pinky and the Brain, Vol. 1!
The usual apparel items... including a very cool looking black t-shirt with a Raven holding a pair of mixing headphones.
A pocket knife with artwork of a big mouth bass on it... wtf???
Stuff I bought for my brother, but I'll probably end up using as well.. yeah, I'm that guy.
A bag of Goldfish... mmmm, Tasty.

[Hylian Lemon]

This year wasn't really disappointing. No embarrassing gifts that didn't make any sense. Woohoo.

-Zelda DS Lite
-Nintendo hoodie
-Mario pajama pants (it's about time. I needed some more)
-The Towering Inferno/Volcano DVD combo thingy
-Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

And apparently there's some kind of secret I'll find out about in a couple of days. No idea if it's another present or what...

[linkspast]

sony Xplod for my car...
Sweat pants.
A sweet flashlight.
and this boxing game for the wii... victorious boxing revolution. Its good so far.

I hope it was a 360 Elite - the other versions of the 360 don't have an HDMI port.

Check again--Pros have been coming with built-in HDMI ports for a few months now.

So far I got a new 8.2 MP camera, a few movies and books, and Creative EP-630s (which are about as good as I can ask for given the use I want out of them). I bought myself quite a present--a Creative ZEN--a month ago.

[AMT]

A pair of M-Audio BX5a's, an Alesis Multimix8 USB mixer, a microphone, some shirts, FEAR, Dead Rising, and a CD. This was a pretty awesome year.

Also, yeah, new 360s have HDMI now. I bought my pro on the Halo 3 launch and it has one.

"The Complete Bible Experience"... lol lots of Bibles this year. This one is a dramatic reading by the likes of Denzel Washington, Sam Jackson, and a lot of other cool black people.

Ok, I looked this up, and this sounds pretty awesome. I need to get my hands on one of these.

[Zombie]

Alrighty then:

Music Stuff:

[Bahamut]

Check again--Pros have been coming with built-in HDMI ports for a few months now.

You guys sure do get a lot of stuff for Xmas. This is the first year i didn't get any games or movies probably. I pretty much buy everything i want beforehand. I'm 22 btw.

[anthonium]

[Sinewav]

Assorted Wii Games, Fire Emblem, Mario Galaxy, Wii Play, AMF Bowling, Bleach, Mario Party 8, Wii Sports

I've been rented that Fire Emblem about a week ago, and it's pretty addicting. Definitely one of the more underrated Wii titles, probably because it doesn't take advantage of the pointing and motion sensing controls.

Only without the Bigsby.

[Black Mage]

Wolfgang Puck four knife and block set, a 20-piece cookware collection, a Sil-Pat, flannel pants, some gift cards, a distinct lack of gameage, and a healthy dose of holiday emotional instability/depression.

[EvilZereno]

I've been rented that Fire Emblem about a week ago, and it's pretty addicting. Definitely one of the more underrated Wii titles, probably because it doesn't take advantage of the pointing and motion sensing controls.

I'd go as far as "its the best wii game period"... but i don't know how many people will agree with me :)

[Fratto]

Some gardening shoes, a coffee pot, getting my iPod fixed, gift cards, a Rahr Beer hoodie, Guinness hat, a grill.

Oh, and a homebrew kit. Mmmm beer.

YES! A gift that keeps on giving. I want to get one of those myself, and a home wine kit too. I've been wanting to make elderberry wine.

[Triad Orion]

I'd go as far as "its the best wii game period"... but i don't know how many people will agree with me :)

[EvilZereno]

I disagree entirely. I *love* Fire Emblem and I disagree.

Because of one thing I got in my haul: Super Mario Galaxy. Enough said. XD

[bobsideways]

[The Damned]

Addendum to my previous post:

32" HD LCD TV set, from me, to me. Boxing Day sale, $500. And it's not some shit piece, either. It's a rather fancy Toshiba.

Oh it's the Wii version. Ok, I'll give it a chance. I gotta admit though, I am loving the Disco games and the rabbid shoot so far.

[Doulifée]

A laptop
Chocolate.
50€
Clothes.

[Alexis]

apparently all i got was gift cards this year....
2 starbucks giftcards, $50 total
2 Barnes and noble giftcards, $50 total
$25 for itunes
$25 for any carmike cinema movie theater.
I'm excited about the giftcards.

My mom also ignored my request for rock band, and I got socks instead. I was very sad about this. Eh. I guess I'll have to wait until I have enough money and buy it myself like everyone else. I hate being a grownup and crap.

[Skummel Maske]

I got an M-Audio Keystation 61 es. I also got The Devil's Backbone on DVD, Spanish For Dummies, and a scarf. That's pretty much it.

[jmr]

Plus, some 'gifts' to myself:
-RCA Vinyl Record Care Kit (gave one to my brother as well)
-Two 2GB SD Memory Cards (yay for boxing day sales!)

I never got much gaming-related stuff this year, but that's understandable considering I only have a GBA and a laptop that's hardly powerful enough to run anything. My younger brother, on the other hand, received Tetris DS, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and Sonic Rush, so I plan to have a go at those before I head back for university.

[linkspast]

So what is this boxing day all about... I know it has nothing to do with fighting. But whats the deal... Its canadian right?

[Antipode]

So what is this boxing day all about... I know it has nothing to do with fighting. But whats the deal... Its canadian right?

Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_day) - but as far as I know, yeah, it's Canadian, and now it's mostly just used for sales at department stores and such.

[chumble spuzz]

My sister got me an empty, coffee-pot-sized jar emblazoned with the breast-cancer-awareness ribbon, complete with pink lid. I do not know what I'm going to do with it. Normally I'd fill it with change, but now if I do that, I'll feel bad if I don't give it to breast cancer research, which, now that I think about it, probably isn't all that difficult to do. But regardless, it's a really weird Christmas gift, which is the point I would like to stress.

Other "loot":
-A bunch of "The Office (US)" -themed stationery, i.e. pens, post-its, magnets
-A cheese knife
-0.5 lbs of Hershey's milk chocolate (gone already)
-A heavily Photoshopped printed-on-canvas fake-painting picture-with-Bible-verse that would be pretty cool, were I not an art snob
-They Might Be Giant's: Here Come the ABC's CD/DVD combo
-Glass block with a 3D trumpet carved inside it by means of science and/or magic
-Rotating under-lit stand for above item
-sequential $5 bills.
-Mario Galaxy :-D

From work:
-Messenger bag
-"Infamous" themed patches
-Sony [whatever model] noise-canceling headphones. (super comfy :D )
-Laptop bag (that I used to carry my Wii and remotes)
-RC helicopter (secret Santa gift)

Stuff I bought for myself around this time:
-Xbox 360 Elite
-Black pinstriped suit and wool topcoat
-Googly-eyed hand puppet.

I'll have that Cheerinos T-shirt soon :-o

Sweet. I might be more excited about this than you are. :?


EDIT: upon looking again, the pink lid of my breast cancer jar is not embossed after all. Darn.

[BlueMage]

I got myself Crysis ... and I guess this holiday in Dubai counts too.

Also guys, get it right - Boxing Day is AUSTRALIAN. And a public holiday.
