Yellow 13 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I was content with just getting the three items I originally had on my list. The rest just kind of came out of nowhere. The ironic thing is we were told it was to be a really lite christmas this year, but as you can see, that went over well >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 This is why you make sure to be born in a large and rich extended family and have lots and lots of friends. Edit: If you're Chinese, you'll get gypped on the Christmas gifts, but they'll up make for it on Chinese New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsuta Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 We got a few seriously spoiled fuckers around here. You should see my sister's boyfriend's family. We went to one of his relative's birthdays once. She got so much shit and she was turning 3 or something. I got: 4 "Walkie Bits" - tiny turtles from japan that move when you tap their shells 1 drawing "DigiPro" tablet - It seems pretty cool, but I consider it hilarious that I got this, because my father approached me one day and asked if I would prefer a tablet that doesn't meet my specifications or nothing at all. I told him nothing at all(he had apparently already ordered this). 4 "On the Fast Track" comic books. They were pretty funny, but I don't really like the comic that much. $20 gift card to Blockbuster - this gift might have been a bit better if I didn't know it was originally intended for someone else. I feel so cheap. $25 gift card to Borders - Sweeeeet. An umbrella - It opens and closes with a button! I already know that I'm notoriously hard to shop for, so I wasn't really expecting to get anything all that great. But I was surprised that I didn't get a single DS game, because I actually listed about five two year old+ games to choose from. According to them, they didn't find any of the games 'on sale.' You'd think that two year old games like Electroplankton would be cheap enough to get without an extra discount. Hell, I saw Polarium in GameStop for $12 several months ago. So uh.. I went pretty broke getting people stuff(lolz no job!) and I didn't get a single thing I wanted. So I'm just considering my expenses-paid Magfest trip as a Christmas present. an electronic "20 questions" game that is either psychic, or demonic,... seriously though http://www.radicagames.com/20q-cb.php I'm gonna take it apart and look for like pentagrams in the computer chips... HOW THE HECK DID IT GET MACINTOSH COMPUTER!? HOW!? NOT JUST COMPUTER, BUT MACINTOSH COMPUTER!!! My brother in law has one of those exactly. I played with it while we were waiting for Wii. I was quite surprised that it guessed dragon, but I beat it several times in a row. It couldn't even guess itself. Or steering wheel(although it got close with "muffler"). Oh yeah that reminds me. I think one of the big reasons I didn't get anything much is because my parents were counting on them being able to grab a Wii. Well, no one in the family was able to get one. So, yeah.

Tptranger Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 So some you have me beat, but I beat most... I got a Wii! And two weeks before Christmas too, haha... Apparently my grandma was at a Circuit City, as they got two in... one reserved, and she got the other one, which she gave to my parents, who were playing it before I even got back from college. I was pretty excited, so much fun. And a baritone ukulele, which I had promptly forgotten about, even though I am a trumpet player, it is still fun. End of list. Edit was the uke =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamRod Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 We got a few seriously spoiled fuckers around here. Nothing wrong with that. This is why you make sure to be born in a large and rich extended family and have lots and lots of friends. Yep. I made sure of this before I was born.

comwiz02 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Erm well this is what I got.... 1)Xbox 360(Asia Version) 2)Nintendo Wii(US Version) 3)Gears of War 4)Lost Planet Extreme Condition 5)Rainbow Six Vegas(Xbox360) 6)Zelda Twilight Princess 7)Excite Truck 8)Trauma Center 2nd Opinion Well my brother got me the Nintendo Wii and games for it while my relatives in the US who came to visit my family here got me the Xbox 360 and the games for it. It was a pretty damn delightful surprise for me because I never asked them for any of this stuff and never expected to get any of it.

Brim Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 My gifts load is pretty huge this year, considering I usually don't get anything beyond one or two gifts. BenQ 19" Flat Screen LCD monitor (about $230 dollars) $300 towards a new computer $140 hard cash $40 in gift cards ($25 Best Buy, $15 Cold Stones) Calvin Klein jacket Mirage jacket and hat (from a relative in Las Vegas) Tons of Snickers bars The $140 hard cash ended up turning into a $60 Kenneth Cole watch and money spent on myself. The Best Buy gift card turned into Mega Man ZX. And my computer is still being built at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melee (finally, haha)- S-video cables for my Gamecube That's pretty much all I wanted so, I'm satisfied. I still need to go out and by myself a new DDR pad though.
