As for me...

ZombiU 2-player is the reason to own a Pro Controller. And a Wii U in general, actually.

I didn't get any games, but lots of neat game related things..
A 1-Up Mushroom belt buckle
A Mario themed t-shirt (a black one with the Mario Bros, Wario, DK, and most of the cast of the original SMB on it..)
Non-gaming things include
A digital photo keychain
A game capture device (this might help with the Mario theme video project, after I get it set up and figure it out)
Other types of clothing (mostly shirts and pajamas)
A pretty good Christmas, but no games. :(
Oh well. Games are expensive and it's been a hard year.

Second cousin? I think? Or is this when you start breaking out the "*ce removed"s?
A box of Old Spice body wash and deodorant from my mom (wat)
I still have a bottle of Old Spice cologne that I got for Christmas in 2001.

I got that for my sister. Sidekick mode is fun, but you can't directly control the Nintendo characters.
My stuff:
•Glasses hloder that looks like a tiki head
•Tetris light
•8bit heart mug
•Sonic & All-stars Racing Transformed Bonus Edition (Picture of me eating it coming soon)
•Sonic Franchise bundle on Steam

Updates:
Old Navy gift card turned into five pairs of jeans. Hooray, pants!
Visa gift card turned into this (http://www.amazon.com/2112-5-1-Audio-Deluxe-Edition/dp/B00A2BTCM4).
Gave the Dalek to my girlfriend, and she loved it. Now I just need to watch Doctor Who so I can figure out what the hell it even is.

Hey BriGuy!

Your parent's cousin is your first cousin once removed, which is also what you call your cousin's child. Cousins are the same generation as you (and the number of the cousin is the number of generations you have to go back to find common ancestry (siblings are technically zeroth cousins!)); removal refers to how far shifted they are from your generation.
It makes sense kinda!
