Every year, the thread is made, and this one is no different :D

I got Dark Knight and the new X Files movie on Blu Ray, a GPS (handheld, not for the car), the Godfather books, a shirt, a bunch of towels and vouchers. Plus I got myself a ticket to The Who so that my Dad (who got his as a gift from me) wouldn't be going alone.

And I'll be going out tomorrow to get Pokemon Diamond or Pearl (probably Pearl, I like the look of Palkia, even though Dialga is more resistant IIRC).

EDIT: Forgot about the pen with my name on it, and a bag of Jelly Babies from England (although I need to share those).

Hrmmm well a couple of WWII aviation books, a Nintendo DS Lite (blue/black), New Super Mario....umm....socks and things like that.  Some of the gifts I got for other people were great...the looks on their faces of total surprise (and delight...they really did want these things :D).  So mission accomplished!

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Most of my gifts come from family,we get together every Christmas Eve and have a huge gift exchange. This is all in addition to $50 dollars my great grandma gave me.

A NeonDragonArt book and kit (Santa brought me it),

a media player (i looks like an ipod, but its smaller, has functional buttons, and 4 GIGS of memory),

SupCom: Forged Alliance (i had to change my pants after that one!),

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Santa again. between this, SCFA, and the neondragonart book, i got everything i asked for),

an "I AM THE STIG" T-shirt (my dad got this for me, i hereby consider him redeemed. favorite show of all time, I'm gonna wear it to school the day we get back, when people ask me, I'm gonna pull out my new media player and show them the 4 hours of top gear i can put on it),

A lot of clothes,

A bunch of Disney pins, we're going back soon,

an Alex Rider book (never read any before),

'Tales of Beedle the Bard' (any fan of Harry Potter would recognize this),

more clothes,

$30.00 Gamestop giftcard,

A pair of Wii sleep pants, complete with a Wii T-shirt,

on of those flashlights that you shake to charge up, never runs out of batteries, because you're the generator,

more clothes,

$25.00 giftcard for WalMart's music download site (an iTunes giftcard was something I'd expressed interest in, but never put on my pitifully small list),

and a REALLY nice stool for sitting on when i go out hunting (the one i used this year barely fits my little sister).


I'm a spoiled brat.  :p  I really don't mind the title, though. Last year i just got a lot of hunting equipment, a bunch of books, a rubix cube, and a crapload of clothes. everyone said it was my 'transition year'. And i still need to collect from a few of my dad's friends who are coming over to my grandparents house later (we got there yesterday, gonna stay for a while) and our neighbours, who we'll see eventually.

Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

Nothing. :p I got myself this and this last week and took advantage of the Christmas sales though.

 
My family is under the impression that I am some kind of geek:

2 t-shirts ("All your base are belong to us." and the Serenity logo)
A sonic screwdriver replica
The new RvB DVD
A couple of calendars (my family always get each other calendars on Christmas)
And an interesting device for viewing movies discreetly: worn like a pair of glasses, and only you can see the screen, makes you look like Cyclops

Oh yeah, and they paid for half of the Electronic Wind Instrument currently en route to my house, so there's that too.

I got a Bodum  Young French Press, and a few bags of coffee from my mom,

Books from my sister

and I'm getting two unspecified late gifts from my girlfriend, that she's being very mysterious about.

God I hope she likes chocolate - known her for years, and I don't know.
