What´s under your tree this Christmas?

A 360 slim and a broken clock. Gears of War also.

Going to head to walmart and spend some cash on Black Ops and Xbox live gold. Too bad it's closed here at the moment.

I was intending to make payments on an iPod touch for myself, but they're out of stock right now, so I'll wait until later.
 
I got some things.
1) Kirby's Epic Yarn
2) PS2
3) Kingdom Hearts
4) RPG Maker II
5) 10" Sonic Action Figure (From Jazwares)
6) Big and Froggy Figures (From Jazwares)
7) A Baseball cap with 3 LED lights, so I can draw in the car at night.
 
I got, The Incredible Crash Dummies for NES
Sonic blast for Game Gear
Sonic Colors for both Wii and DS
a DVD rack
Epsiodes 1-25 of Hyper Police
and a Pokemon Ranger game
 
Lemme think back...

- A PS3, with Uncharted, inFamous, LittleBigPlanet (ended up getting two copies of that), Super Street Fighter 4, and Blazblue:CS.
- A second PS3 controller and a SSF4 fightpad
- A $50 PSN card
- A gaming headset
- $250 in credit
- Several bottle of hot sauces (no idea what's up with that)
- A flashlight
- A crapton of candy
- A cell phone
- A new jacket

I picked up Marvel VS Capcom 2, Bloody Roar 2, Pain, and Joe Danger with the PSN card, and with the credit, I got Civilization 5, Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, and a tabletop RPG book based on fighting games.

And I've still got $178 to go. Yep, it's been a pretty nice haul. <3
 
Tabletob RPG? Is that like that thing that I see people playing at the gaming center...? If so, I have one of those. Sort of. It's a DC Heroes & Villians roleplaying game. It's pretty old. ._.

Such a big innuendo, I have to refrain from saying "That's what he said".


Some other stuff I forgot that I got:

WWE Andre the Giant DVD

Family Guy Freakin' Christmas

Slider Burger maker (I have an addiction to sliders)

Jeff Dunham Walter talking doll (The new one where the mouth moves)

Jeff Dunham Peanut talking bobble-head (In case you haven't noticed, I'm kind of a Jeff Dunham fan)

Snowboarding boots

Sonic the Hedgehog blanket (It's awesome, so be quiet)

Sketch Pad

Sketching & Drawing pencil set

Mechanical Pencil 5-pack (I prefer to use Mechanical pencils)

A new sweatshirt

$100 (I used this money before Christmas even came)

MP3 player

and these things I got after my birthday, which is less than a month away from Christmas, so I guess you can consider these christmas presents.

Animesafari 7" FullMetal Alchemist Edward Elric figurine (cost 50 dollars, but sooooo worth it)

FullMetal Alchemist keychain (cost $2, but again sooooo worth it)

GameBoy Advance-to-GameCube connector link

Most of these things I didn't list before because I thought they seemed childish, but the sastifactory that I got more stuff than most anyone else here outweighs that thought.

F.Y.I., my parents like to spoil me.

Pretty much just money and some candy. Good enough for me.

The highlight of it was pound cake.
 
Goldeneye 007 Limited Edition (comes with a Gold Classic Controller Pro, much like the old Gold N64 Controller, but the code for Classic Conflict doesn't like to work.)

$200

5 Pairs of Headphones (I simply cannot take care of headphones, lets' just leave it at that)

Dazzle DVD Recorder (Though, I lack the cords necessary to use it yet)

8GB SD card (for above)

Not a lot of stuff, but good enough for me. Though, since I'm saving the $200 twards the 3DS, I can't get any of the new games out, and I know I wont care about getting them later. Bummer.
 
Some of the stuff I received was frivolous, which I absolutely hate. It sounds unappreciative, and it is, but I'd rather have a few things I really want and will use as opposed to numerous trinkets that family members think I'll like, but only end up as a waste of money for them, a drain on natural resources in general, and a burden for me to haul about and store. It's kinda embarrassing and I always feel depressed around the holidays because of that.

On the plus side, I did receive an air pump, some school supplies, and money for some business-casual khakis that I've been needing, so that was good. Plus, a day off of work, which was welcome.

I'm sorry about the above rant, but the material excess that I always tend to experience around Christmas kinda spoils the holiday for me. A coworker of mine says that his family doesn't exchange gifts at all, but rather all gather together for a meal. This isn't due to ideology, but rather because they'll generally too poor to afford buying and exchanging gifts. I can't help but feel somewhat self-conscious, especially after that. Also, on a lesser note, I cannot believe how wasteful wrapping paper is.

Notable presents include a Kinect (which has not as of yet touched my 360), a desk Dalek, and some other odds and ends.

Oh, yeah, and an early Christmas present of a really shitty cold that almost ruined my Christmas.


Oh, and this:

I got a lot of books, Epic Mickey and Donkey Kong Country Returns, a Barnes & Noble Nook, and a bunch of good stocking stuffers like a bendable Stewie Griffin and the Pearls Before Swine 2011 wall calendar. I gave a lot of cool stuff too, from jewelry to webcams.

On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 would be if Christmas was canceled and 10 is equivalent to the best Christmas I ever had, I'd rate this one 7.3.
 
This was a good Christmas for me, too. I forgot to mention my new Alarm Clock Radio, which I've wanted for a while, and my brother got Super Scribblenauts. Also, I got a truckload of Andes Mints. Awesome Christmas.

My family around dining room table. :-)

That's definitely an awesome one! So many people take their families for granted, or worse, don't get along with their families, or even worse still, don't even WANT to get along with their families. Hrm, I think I had a discussion about that on #srb2fun the other day.

I was actually kind of sad this Christmas Eve, because even while my family was doing Advent, we were all at each others throats. Finally, I broke down though, and was the first to apologize, and since then we've all been getting along a lot better.

Merry day after Christmas everyone!
