- Nice Hairdryer (mine got to the point where it'd shut off every 30 seconds and I needs my lift, yo)
- New dartboard for the garage
- Smallville Season 2 Box Set (the best season, in my opinion)
- Some new moccasins (I have no shame, I wear 'em everywhere)
- Axe deoderant body kit thing (what they trying to say)
- $150 in cash
- My mom's friend gave me $50 in Chillis gift cards for removing some spyware from her machine.
- ...and my cousin will likely sell me his X800 because he's an obsessive-computer-upgrader. Not so much a direct Christmas present, but I probably just found a use for my $150.

Have a Merry Christmas GAF, trolls and otherwise!

Still have to travel to my sister's next week to exchange gifts with her....think she's giving me a gift certificate of some kind.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention the prerequisite gag gift, which this year was William Hung's Hung for the Holidays. That came courtesy of my brother and his girlfriend...ha, ha.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

whoo-hoo! Trip to Vegas and Suite paid for at the Bellagio! RAWK.

 

[Alex Anderson]

I'm spoiled rotten, w00t! I knew basically everything I was getting, because Mom didn't know what to get me and asked for input. The parents had already sprung for the awesome gifts during Christmases past (Stereo one year, TV the next, DVD-recorder after that) so I just picked out stuff while we shopped.

To the list.

From parents:

GTA Double Pack for XBox; $10 bundle of cheapo racing games for PS2 - Super Trucks Racing, Corvette, Ford Racing 2. This will be saved for a rainy day; F-Zero GX; NINTENDO DS (this was a surprise since they're OOS everywhere); Simpsons Season 5 DVD; Two pairs of jammy pants; recharging dock + accessories for digitial camera; Pride of the Yankees DVD; Wrestling Gold 5 DVD Collection - another Wal-Mart cheapy; Madden 2005 for XBox; NBA Live 2005 for XBox; Three games to use on XBox Live if Verizon ever cuts on our DSL service: Ghost Recon, Top Spin, Mech Assault for XBox; some paper football game from Cracker Barrel; blank VHS tapes; 88-cent A Jackie Robinson Story DVD -- especially cool since it stars Jackie as himself. You know, heralded as Jackie is, I've never really heard him talk; Edge's new book; Mom asked what new games had just come out for the DS and the employee gave her... Need For Speed Underground 2 on GBA. This will be taken back for Mario 64 DS; Adjustable shower head; zip up Champion hoodie; a new electric razor; a pedometer more advanced than the one I got for free at McDonald's

From siblings:

$75 EB gc from brother/sis in-law/niece

$20 B&N gc + CD wallet from sister+hubby

$100 from aunt

Will probably get another $25 gc to EB tomorrow from my other brother.


So yeah, I <3 my family.

 

[Brendonia]

I got:

An Archos Gmini 400 (from recommendations on the board)
A really nice new jacket to wear with nice clothes

$50
Best Buy gift card
Got everything I asked for then the gift card and money from my brother & sister in law and grandma, respectively. It was an excellent year.

I got tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld in February at school a few weeks ago, so that's my present to myself.

 

[RedDwarf]

My current list excluding my previously posted gifts:

A couple of Disinfo books.
$250.00 in gift cards, $100.00 visa card, hooded black sweatshirt, Call of Duty:United Offensive, a Fossil watch, Fossil pocketwatch, Fossil wallet, some cool books from the Mrs., and a little bit of random items. All in all, a good Christmas.

Nunchakus from my friend
6 pairs of Boxer Briefs that are a size too big (I wear small)
20 Bucks from my grandma (pocketed already! cha-ching! )
Grooming Kit + Wallet
Nike Ankle Socks

I got this for myself:

Thanks to someone posting the 20% off Circuit City Games and Peripherals, I bought my brothers/friends games and ended up saving 20 bucks, essentially negating the cost of Soul Calibur II

Almost forgot, my brother got me this:

Score! I'm gonna have one awesome stomach bubbling dinner! YUM!

 

[cvxfreak]

^Ankle socks and briefs eh?

I find those far more interesting than most others.
