Been refreshing the boards all day waiting for this topic! Now that I have a job I said I didn't really need anything this year (was more in the mood for giving), so a pretty small haul.

From parents:
- DJ Hero: Renegade Edition (it was a bargain at 70% off, so a spur of the moment decision)
- New shoes
- Assortment of other goodies

From sister:
- 'Wii Sports champion' t-shirt

From myself:
- 5.1 speakers
- Ray Ban sunglasses
- 1TB hard drive

For others, I bought:

- GPS Navigator (for dad)
- Surface Season 1, iPod FM transmitter (for mum)
- Gift cards (older sister, brother)
- Guitar Hero Metallica & Guitar Hero 5 (for younger brothers)
- Risk board game, Home Alone collection (for family)
- Taken on bluray (for coworker)
- Luelinks account (for a friend)



Pretty good Christmas, I finally understand why buying gifts for people is fun!

This is the first year in a long time I didn't ask for any electronics.  That 1TB XHD I got last year is proving to be one of my most useful gifts ever!

 


 

This year I got;

 

-Old Navy argyle sweater

 

-Three dress shirts

 

-Dockers black pants

 

-Burberry Brit cologne (I don't expect many of you to know what Burberry is... it's too high end for you )

 

-a $50 pen

 

-a $25 pen

 

-two $10 pens (I needed pens badly )

 

-pair of 20lb dumbbells (I know lol )

 

-a Jonas Brothers themed coffee mug

 

-Sportcheck gift card ($25)

 

-Starbucks gift card ($unknown)

 

-2 pairs of underwear

 

-about $50 cash so far

 

-various stocking stuffers incl. Terry's Chocolate Orange, Werther's Original candies, Axe bodyspray, etc.

 


 

Merry Christmas!

- Arcade Mania book (a small paperback talking about Japanese arcade culture, written by a Kotaku.com editor)
- Red Xbox controller
- Cash from grandparents (an amount I'm not comfortable disclosing)
- New shaver
- Box of chocolate-covered maraschino cherries (my favorite Christmas candy)
- A nice collection of shirts
- Don Cherry 21 DVD (I collect these!)
- New cell phone

Probably something else I'm forgetting. First year in a while I didn't get a game for Christmas, primarily because I bought most of the stuff that interested me earlier, and most of the games I wanted got pushed to early 2010.

Don't worry Durk, I'm sure the postal service is just slow this time of year but I bought you a book on Amazon called "Survivor, Poker, UFC and all the trends that defined this generation" which should be arriving in the mail shortly.
