Wanna list what you gave and what you got?

Please avoid listing every stupid thing you may have given/revieved. Noone cares about that pack of M&Ms in the Christmas Stocking.

Not everything has come yet. Gimme a couple of more days.

I did get a sweet new blanket though. It's Mario Kart-themed.

I gave some chocolate away and received some candles.

But today I'll go to my mother's place and there will be more presents.

I didn't get a lot, but I got a new towel (I genuinely asked for one and it's really soft >>) And the Great British Bake Off recipe book. I'm making gingerbread today.

Worst present? My car's clutch went last night on the way home from the bf's house. Literally only got 5 minutes from his house lol. Festive call to the RAC this morning. Excellent. Could have been worse, like on the hill on the way home, or on the motorway...

Otherwise, christmas was lovely. Hope everyone else had a good day too :)

Excellent! If you want to exchange Wii IDs, we can race each other!

I got some wonderful TARDIS-themed swag from my boyfriend and some other cool gadgets like a Galilean thermometer, as well as lots of practical things such as three pairs of sweatpants. He also stocked me up with racy undergarments... Well played, Magmar's boyfriend, well played :D

I gave him more or less things for us, like an ice cream maker, two memory foam pillows, and an 8 quart crock pot (ham! roast! ROAST HAM), and less practical things for his manly pleasure such as the new Need for Speed game and Shaolin Soccer... also a new hoodie from LL Bean, which is his favorite store since he's a lumberjack and chops wood all day while I sip frozen drinks and watch actually he's the administrator for a center at a local university and lives in the city where there are no choppable trees BUT I CAN PRETEND. Spending Christmas with him was the best thing to happen to me all year. I love him... and I'll stop talking about it now XD

I gave my 3-year-old cousins the Air Swimmer inflatable shark :D can't wait to see that thing in action! I'm also arranging for a bicycle with training wheels to arrive for my brother in kindergarten... He really wanted it but my family couldn't afford it, so I figured since they live so far away I can wait and see what he still wanted in the end, then make up the difference with whatever gift cards & such he got.

I got my roommates two new bath towels each... and gave silly bonus gifts such as a box of chocolate-covered cherries from the dollar store, a book with 642 writing prompts for my nanowrimo-savvy roomie, and a wall decoration with a clam on it. I didn't do much for friends & other relatives otherwise... a set of margarita glasses here and a tie there, more or less.

I got my mom a pair of earrings with real gold in them that were around 70 to 75% off one day (their original price was nearly $130 CAD) at the local Sears store, that day also happened to be the only day they were on sale, so I was glad I bought them then, I got my brother a Wii game he wanted, and I also gave him tickets to see Randy Bachman next year (the tickets were actually for the three of us, but he wants to see this guy more than anything as he is a fan of The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive)...as for gifts I received, I got a slew of DVDs (nearly 50 in total), a deck of The Legend of Zelda themed playing cards (they came from Japan, but they're still an official Nintendo product), a Super Mario themed calendar for 2013, Mario Kart 7 (since I got a 3DS XL back in November), a few books, some cash, a $100 gift card for Chapters/Indigo (the book chain), some clothes, etc. In a nutshell, Christmas was quite good to me.

I got a new purse, a Roll Tide T-shirt, $200 in cash, a $25 Visa gift card, a 32" HDTV, HD channels, a Blu-Ray player, Thor and Legend of the Guardians on Blu-Ray, a set of bowls, a set of blue bracelets, and chocolate.

Cash was used for 1600 Microsoft points, Cowboy Bebop on DVD, Steins;Gate on Blu-Ray/DVD, and the rest will be saved for a new bookcase.

Oh, and I cleaned my room for Mom. That was one hell of a job.

Someone remind me to do this tomorrow during the day when he's awake. Ain't nobody playing Mario Kart at 2am.

Brian and I have a yearly tradition. Each year during Christmas season, we purchase an ornament, usually Swarovski, that list the year. This year we happened to be in Disney World for a conference, so Brian ordered a custom wedding themed ornament with our names and wedding date on it.

Listing out all my family and friends would take too long--Christmas is a big deal for me-- so here's what Brian got and what I got from each other:

Brian got:
Pokemon Conquest
Professor Layton game for 3Ds
Tales of the Abyss 3Ds
PokePark 2 game for Wii
Handheld back massager
Adjustable back support cushion for his work chair
Family Guy trivia box
Plush Brian of Family Guy who says funny things when you press the button
"Damn you, Autocorrect!" Board game
Most important: new Coach wallet

I may have left things out.

For Becky:
Imported Pikachu figure
VS- luminous touch spray
VS- luminous touch body wash
Movie: The Campaign (saw in theaters and loved)
Movie: Ted (saw in theaters and loed)
Ted soundtrack
VS 'Supermodel essential' white hoodie with gold angel wings on the back and wing clasp in the front
VS Bombshell Sparkle gift set
Lingerie that I won't speak about here!
Entire Atelier Iris games 1,2, and 3 for PS2, all new in box
Squirrel Whisperer shirt and mug

I may have left things out. We have nice Christmases. I love my sweetie.

Featured in photo:

British Lions vintage rugby top. British Lions will be touring Australia in 2013.

FIFA 13 for PS3. A great year to be a footie fan.

Bottle of vintage port. Currently resisting temptation to open.

Snakeskin hip-flask. See below item.

Glenfiddich. Have failed to resist temptation to open.

MLP:FiM Rainbow Dash pyjama pants. Very comfortable, extreme levels of swag. Guaranteed to make the wearer 20% cooler.

I have great family and friends.

All I got was an iHome clock with iPod dock and a Crock Pot. I really don't ask for much for Christmas or my birthday because most of the things I'd like I can easily save up and buy myself. Unless it's money. I'll never refuse money from someone I'm close to and know very well unless I know it is a bit too much and I feel I shouldn't be given that amount. I'm talking around $20 to $100 at most. If it's one of my dad's friends that I don't know too well, I'll just tell them I don't need it because it seems weird to accept money from someone I barely know.

I can't believe how awesome my friends on TPM are.

My post of "I didn't get a lot" came before I received 3 parcels. And remembered about a certain ticket I've been given >>

http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq92/chobichibi/DSCF0652_zps15bdf02a.jpg

The jewellery box at the back is from Crystal Tears. OH BUT IT'S NOT JUST ANY JEWELLERY BOX. It's a musical box. It plays a happy tune every time I open it :3
The Zekrom and Reshiram are from Shadow Wolf. Omg I died of happiness this morning when the post lady woke me up X3 It's not just that, but the sweetest card he wrote to me, with a hamster in a wine glass on the front XD
Paul and The IT Crowd are from Weasel Overlord. I watched Paul already, just spent the entire time thinking Simon Pegg was Heald XD

This beautiful ticket is from Samchu :D EEEEE WE MIGHT GET TO MEET NOBOU UMEATSU EEEEEEEEEEEE. *fangirl swoon*

"QUICK BECKI GET PUMPKIN RIDING THE POKEMON!" Didn't quite work, but doesn't she look menacing?

iPad Mini from my parents. Wii U for the family (add me! I'm IslanderJeff02). Also, not a Christmas present, but I got myself a new laptop since I've been needing one, and my mom suggested that I'd be able to get a good deal on one (ended up getting about 20% off). Other than that, mostly clothes.

I got a boomerang from my step mother. She thought it would be a great exercise to venture to parks and boomerang the boomerang (is she implying I have no friends to chuck a ball with). I went out the back yesterday and threw it rather forcefully, and it went around the corner out of sight. I could no longer find it. I think it went over the neighbour's fence. Now I have to talk to them. Fuck 2013.
