The Damned Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airwalker Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tiger Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 A remote started for my car and some money to buy myself a present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I am looking too much into it, but I thought it was worth mentioning. 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. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Zero Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 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.

I-n-j-i-n Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapel Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 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.
