Just wishing y'all a Merry Christmas. Did Santa pay you a visit?

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #1 on:** December 25, 2010, 05:41:40 AM »

Happy holidays to you as well bro.

Seems Santa was a bit more generous this year, as I got a fair amount of gifts despite asking for very little. A lot of it will look good on my wall though.

WarpRattler · « **Reply #2 on:** December 25, 2010, 08:18:21 AM »

Merry Christmas to you as well.

We got a red Wii. Fun times, except for the part where I have to deal with even more shovelware coming into my house thanks to my eleven-year-old brother, whose tastes in games are the exact opposite of "discerning."

I didn't get much in the way of presents myself - only a couple of little things on top of what I mentioned in the other thread - but again, my biggest present was my tuition being paid. And Ketsui in MAME.

I did get $70 in cash (part of which already went toward me buying Persona 3 Portable, earning me the True Fan achievement; I'm thinking the rest is going to be put away so I can buy Tactics Ogre in February) and a $50 Wal-Mart gift card (which will largely go toward me buying Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and the soundtrack).

A red Wii sounds awesome. I'm glad the Wii finally came out in different colors. White is just so...BORING. Luckily, I'm the one who has bought most of our games, so the shovelware thing is mostly avoided (I wouldn't consider Wii Fit to be shovelware, because it is actually useful).

Anyway...with all that said, Merry Christmas Fungi Forums!

Lessee... Christmas this year... I got:

-A new laptop.
-A new case for the laptop.
-A new wireless mouse for the laptop.
-A pre-ordered copy of Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded.
-New pair of headphones.
-A plush throw.
-Several hygiene products, including a toothbrush, floss, and enough Axe deodorant to last me until next Christmas.
-Lots of candy. Snickers, Butterfinger, Hershey's, Peanut M&M's, and a large three-foot-long gummy snake.

A happy Christmas to y'all! In retrospect, I should've commissioned a picture from one of our resident artists of all the forum's major members doing Christmasy things...

Anyway, I've got some pretty good stuff so far. I'll spare you the this-and-that in-between and just mention the gaming-related and/or really cool stuff:

-A replica EVE hypo (which I accidentally broke the tip off pretending to inject myself with. Thank God for Superglue!), Sackboy, and papercraft Creeper, all from my brother.
-About $75 in Barnes & Noble credit.
-Mario-themed candy "Snerdles" (I can throw up a picture of the packaging if anyone's curiousity is piqued.
-A "Bookworm" plush from ThinkGeek.

I'd rather see a picture of the EVE hypo, actually.

Weegee · « **Reply #7 on:** December 25, 2010, 11:04:47 AM »

My spoils from this year's pillage consist of Donkey Kong Country Returns, Metroid: Other M, $75 for CD Warehouse, and $50 for Chapters (the Canadian, and therefore superior, equivalent of Barnes & Noble). In addition, I'll probably be getting a wad of cash from Grandma this afternoon.

Merry Christmas, TMK, and may peace be with you.

I'd like to see it.

nensondubois · « **Reply #9 on:** December 25, 2010, 12:39:33 PM »

fml. All I got was clothes and a stocking full of medicine cabinet supplies... oh and Hershey Kisses as well as a 25$ Target gift card that I can hopefully put towards the 3DS that I wanted for Christmas. Should I put this on fmylife.com? I'm highly considering it.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #10 on:** December 25, 2010, 03:25:36 PM »

I didn't get anything. Count your blessings.

Jman · « **Reply #11 on:** December 25, 2010, 03:33:04 PM »

I agree with PL on this one.

nensondubois · « **Reply #12 on:** December 25, 2010, 04:17:52 PM »

I feel bad for PaperLuigi; that sucks.

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #13 on:** December 25, 2010, 05:36:39 PM »

Did he at least spend the day with his family?

Personally all the gifts in the world wouldn't mean a thing to me if I wasn't with my family during these times.

Yes... and I'll get pics of some of those gifts up as soon as I can.

And yeah, Wiggles is right on.

Weegee · « **Reply #15 on:** December 26, 2010, 08:11:53 PM »

Mr. Wiggles never struck me as a family man. Perhaps by "family" he means his collection of anime figurines.

PL: I said it once, and I'll say it again: :(

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #16 on:** December 26, 2010, 08:27:42 PM »

I hope everyone listened to the classic Christmas songs Deezer the Snowman and Deezer Claus is Coming to Town.

WarpRattler · « **Reply #17 on:** December 26, 2010, 08:48:40 PM »

Man, I didn't even listen to the classic Christmas song Silent Hill.

TONIGHT IS A NIGHT FOR I LOVE YOUS

They didn't have Scott Pilgrim on DVD, so I ended up buying Tatsunoko vs. Capcom instead.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #18 on:** December 26, 2010, 08:58:52 PM »

David everied not once, but twice this Christmas.

WarpRattler · « **Reply #22 on:** December 24, 2011, 04:53:59 PM »

My grandparents came over today to celebrate Christmas with us, since tomorrow they're going to be visiting my aunt and uncle who live in another part of the state. We had pizza. It was good.

They also gave me $100 ($50 in cash and a $50 Wal-Mart gift card), and a $25 Wal-Mart gift card from my aunt and uncle. I plan on buying a Dominion set, several packs of Magic: the Gathering cards (since I've recently gotten back into that game), and clothes.

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 24, 2011, 06:45:09 PM »

I got some money, three bags of Haribo gummi stuff, and an awesome shirt (well, two shirts, but I'm going to try to exchange the other one). Tomorrow we do Christmas at our own house as well as with the other side of the family, so we'll see what happens.

Spent some of that money on Skyrim, since it's 33% off on Steam right now.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #24 on:** December 24, 2011, 11:27:18 PM »

Sounds so far, so good, guys. As for me... well, I had the preliminary party at my great-aunt's house to coincide with my dad's Christmas Eve birthday, and... well, first world problems are first world problems, but it was a tad underwhelming in comparison to years past. Current take: A superfluous scarf and UW sweater, and a $25 Amazon gift card (okay, that one could be good). I probably wouldn't mind as much, but everybody else seemed to get a lot more--my bro got Mario Kart 7, at least. But hey, I'm just getting started! Without any snow and all the college stuff I had to worry about beforehand, I've not been able to really get into the seasonal mood beyond singing "Love Like Winter" on Rock Band 3 and writing a poem (on notesandsketches.wordpress.com, as always), so hopefully I can cram enough to make up for it into the next day or two.

And meanwhile, I reiterate...

Weegee · « **Reply #25 on:** December 25, 2011, 01:54:16 AM »

We did our present-opening on Christmas Eve because my dad will likely have to work for nearly twelve hours today.

I got Nuggets, a $100 gift card for CD Warehouse, a rockin' Mario calendar, and Toblerone.

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #26 on:** December 25, 2011, 08:14:40 AM »

Got a 8GB flash drive, several Axe hygiene products, good amount of chocolate, and a pair of very nice studio headphones.

WarpRattler · « **Reply #27 on:** December 25, 2011, 12:33:11 PM »

I got a bunch of candy, a CD, some speakers, Dark Messiah Might and Magic: Elements, and Monster Hunter Tri.

I also received a $25 GameStop gift card as an early Christmas present, which I used to buy the Classic Controller Pro so that I can properly play Monster Hunter Tri, and my dad bought me 1600 Microsoft Points last Sunday as an early present so that I could get Hard Corps: Uprising, Guwange, and Radiant Silvergun while they were on sale.

BP · « **Reply #28 on:** December 25, 2011, 12:38:14 PM »

Viewtiful Joe's T-shirt, a brain-breakingly large TV, and this chunk of ceramics. And some bottles of stuff to keep me smelling like a man.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #29 on:** December 25, 2011, 01:32:04 PM »

A new laptop.

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #30 on:** December 25, 2011, 02:15:13 PM »

A My Little Pony coloring book (not from the current generation, largely a gag gift) and a GameStop gift card. And more candy. That finishes this year up.

Kojinka · « **Reply #31 on:** December 25, 2011, 07:49:16 PM »

In terms of family, it was kind of rough. It was the first time we spent Christmas with only one side of the family. Ever since my mother passed away, that side of the family got more and more distant. Since my dad's not very close to the surviving relatives that live hundreds of miles away, the last tie to my mom's side of the family was pretty much gone when my grandmother passed away this spring,. And my dad is going through a divorce, so we didn't go to the step relative gathering. It's just left us with complicated thoughts and emotions that I am not going to go into on this thread. Basically, I didn't really ask for much for Christmas this year. What mattered was that I got to spend Christmas with my closest relatives (my dad, sister, and her family, So overall, I wasn't disappointed.

My Christmas Hoard:
Pokemon cards
Mood ring w/ my name
Talkng Phineas and Ferb plush
Doofenshmirtz plush
money
frog socks
boot slippers
callendar
cat picture frame ornament
Snow leopard hat
cat towels
A couple neat breakables

You're a trooper, Kojinka.

Update: Yesterday I got about $125 in cash and gift cards.

Kojinka · « **Reply #33 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:18:38 PM »

UPDATE: Last night, we got visit from a feline friend of ours that had been missing since this fall! He first came to us about a year ago as a stray that got along well with the other outdoor cats, but didn't really want anything to do with people. But over the months, he warmed up to us, and became one of the sweetest cats in the clan. He's still sweet as ever, and seems to be loving the attention. And it looks like he's been well fed during absence, which leads us to believe he's probably been doing some farm hopping. And that's okay. I'm just glad to know he's alive and well. I think that's one of the greatest Christmas presents I've ever received.

Weegee · « **Reply #34 on:** December 25, 2013, 09:56:26 AM »

Got some gift Cards, the complete Brick Testament, and a box set of all of Bob Dylan's 41 albums.

How about you guys?

Bigluigifan1.0 · « **Reply #35 on:** December 25, 2013, 12:58:16 PM »

So far, only a couple things. (Personal Household) Family Christmas is getting smaller every year.

Six Flags Season Pass, shoes and Triominoes. Apparently we're doing extended family Christmas in the next couple days, but we will be hanging out with them today as well. Still, I had a pretty awesome Christmas (Eve); I got to speak with a relative of Weird Al's on the phone for a couple of minutes.

BP · « **Reply #36 on:** December 25, 2013, 01:22:22 PM »

A really nice new watch, a rather hella set of bluetooth earbuds (it's not a ******bag's earpiece, it's this horseshoe-shaped piece that hangs over the neck, volume and track buttons on the ends, and the buds magnet to the tips when not in use), and 50 bucks. And CommodoreJim got me Mario 3D World and I got him a Christmas-themed plush Chespin, but we gave those at each other already.

TheMightyThor · « **Reply #37 on:** December 25, 2013, 04:00:13 PM »

On the 21st, I got a GameStop giftcard, some headphones, and a redeemable card for $20 of eShop money.
For Christmas Eve, I got the new Black Sabbath album 13, a redeemable card of some kind worth $20, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge for Wii U.
For Christmas, I got:
a Nintendo hoodie
a Twilight Princess shirt
a Wii U Pro Controller
a Blu Ray of the fifth season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Super Mario 3D World
Wind Waker HD
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
and Pokémon X.

Nice loot, huh? Musta cost my family a fortune that I didn't deserve at all. I also wanted A Link Between Worlds, but I can use my GameStop gift card to get it.

We had Christmas three different times over the course of Christmas Day..

Round One: My wife, my girls, and I. My wife got me Pokémon Y, I got her a pressure canner (she's gotten into canning things recently), and the girls got a truckload of toys and stuff from Santa (one thing in particular that was a hit: a toy castle they can play inside that sets up similarly to a small tent)

Round Two: My wife's family. I got a nice shirt, my wife got some bath soap she really likes, a rolling pin, and some misc other things, and the girls got some more toys. Nothing particularly noteworthy here, except maybe a pair of toy guns that light up and make spacey shooting noise when you hold the trigger. Much fun. XD

Round Three: My family. I got two gift cards for Old Navy ($20 and $25 apiece), a gift card for Chili's ($25), a couple of new shirts with Mario's face on them, and some misc other things. My wife got a box full of stuff she can use for canning and general cooking (she loves to cook), and the girls got yet more toys (surprise).

The girls got a haul younger me would be jealous of, but Pokémon Y is a great present. I'm part of the in-crowd now. XD
