Complete and Official What You Got For Christmas List 2003

[Sandy]

Feh, you kids always get tons of presents... Well, mine are:

sister & her fiancé:
- a "lavalamp"! I don't know what it is in English, but it says "Rocket Lamp" on the packing, so maybe it is that... Anyhow, I've ALWAYS wanted one! :D

granny (whom I live with (dad's mother)):
- a cool shirt, and a cap+gloves+scarf-set for cold winter nights.

dad & his family:
- new covers for my Nokia-cellphone, deodorant+hairgel (nice to know you're hygiene is taken care of ;) ).

aunt & her family:
- The Lords of Mystery-cd, containing eg Adiemus, Enigma and Gregorian.

aunt's mother-in-law (yes, believe it or not):
- poems of Federico Garcia Lorca

aunt's husband's aunt (even crazier... :rolleyes: ):
- box of winegums! :D

granpa & his family (my mother's father):
- 20 euros! I WILL spend them on Final Fantasy VI, just have to wait for the shops to open in few days...

Okay, I have a bunch of relatives from my mother's side, but we hardly keep in touch, because I've broken my bonds to "mom" - long story...

But though my presents weren't so glamorous (nothing like Digital Camera or PS2), I'm quite happy with them. Just looking at my little sister (5 years old) makes me feel quite akward - she got like a dozen presents, and she just tore the wrappings, looked at the contect, said something like "Nice!" or "Yay!" and threw it aside! I bet she doesn't even use half of the gifts she got... But kids are demanding, no can do! :huh:

[ZeroBlade]

Time to cash in:

-A sweater
-Mach 3 Turbo razor with other shaving equipment
-$20 in cash
-A Shirt
-And last but not least! *drumroll* [spoiler]Underwear![/spoiler]

It could have been better... I could've gotten things that run on power too but I'm the one who usually buys those. I really wanted a computer but I wasn't expecting it because no one's wallet is that powerful to make my wish come true and I know which best to buy anyway.

Also if there is one thing that I learned this year is that I found out I don't like Christmas shopping much.:whoops:

[Guest Anakin Solo]

Two hundred seventy-three dollars in cash, three Best Buy gift cards for $25 each. A Portable CD palyer, a carrying case along with it, and 100 disk holder, and a watch.

Im very happy about the money. :-D

[B][FONT=arial]I don't think getting a lot of presents makes someone spoiled (and no, I'm not just saying that). I think when you start [i]expecting[/i] a lot of presents is when you're spoiled.

I did get alotta stuff this year (not compared to some, but still). but some food for thought: the most expensive thing I got (excluding the money) was that Nickel Creek CD (about 14 bucks, I think). I think that could explain a bit :bluesweat.[/FONT] [/B][/QUOTE]
I men't alot of expensive presents. Of course if you have a ton of realitives that can be diffrent.

I never got a stocking yet, my mum said she'll give us ours later. o_O My parents didn't even have my presents wrapped, not including one gift. Thats the bad thing about the holidays, no time for anything.. My parents were real busy.

[color=darkblue]
I'm not rich, actually, not at all, but I have a humongous family and they all live close. I'll use Piro's list. . .thing. . .

[b]Christmas Eve[/b]
Clothes
$30 and Reindeer doll ($30 :p)
Austin Powers in Goldmember

[b]Christmas[/b]
Trench Coat (all I asked for)
Yu-Gi-Oh cards
Wallet to put money received Christmas Eve in
Basketball Goal (surprises me too)
Laser Pen
Flashlight (o.O)
Football/Basketball
Cologne and Aftershave balm (heh, not even shaving yet. . .although I could, I just don't)
Electronic Toothbrush
Skateboard

I think that's all, there might be more. All I wanted was the trench coat though. . .

[/color]

[Semjaza]

Hmm... I mostly got stuff I bought myself and gave to my mom. She paid me back for them. So I knew most of my presents, most of which were things I did not want.

My CD club sent me a bunch of stuff like Rob Zombie and Ozzfest that I'd never listen to... But I bought them to get out of the agreement and gave those to my mom heh. Stuff like that. Same with Dracula X on Saturn.

Things I wanted (or didn't know about):

- Apocalypse Hoboken DIY 2002 4-CD Box Set
- Apocalypse Hoboken Daterape Nation Vinyl
- Apocalypse Hoboken Jerk Lessons Vinyl
- Apocalypse Hoboken Jerk Lessons/Daterape Nation CD
- Two shirts from my grandma, kinda eh... but nice
- a black belt with skulls printed on it... it's made of some weird vegan style material
- a fitted Bears hat (had no idea about that heh)
- A bunch of Famicom Disk System games: Zelda, Zelda 2, US Golf, Super Mario Bros and Lost Levels.
- a huge Tigger stuffed animal my mom got for free at Toys R Us
- My mom paid off my $200 bill on my Target card
- And finally $150 from my grandma and about $50 from other people

Good Christmas, although I suppose it's always better when you don't know what you're getting.

'specially you Piro and Juuthena, Jeebus..[/B][/QUOTE][color=indigo]I sort of have three Santa Days, so if you take about of third of all my compiled gifts, that is what I received at one place, another third at another, and the last at the final. I celebrate with my mom. Then with at my father's side of the family. Then with my father. So no, I am not a millionaire. Just three groups of lower-middle to middle/upper-middle class citizens.

[u]SQUEE'S Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors[/u] and [i]Office Space[/i] were from friends. And the backpack was from my mother's family's Santa Day party/giftexchange kind of thing.

If you want me to, I can go through them and tell you where I received them and who I got them from...[/color]

:( I'm sorry, I completely forgot about your Sarichi Christmas Present!

:butthead: < Alice

No matter what happens, you will have your christmas present before Christmas is over! You may get a PM at 11:59pm!

:blackeye: God I'm such a ditz. I've been a bit too caught up in the pointless worthless drama of my current life. But that does not an excuse make. :blackeye:

I'll start work on it right now.

EDIT:So, of course, as soon as I began writing it, my mother kicked me off the computer.. [/color]:cross:
