Christmas in the ocean is my notion of fun! (Presents!)

Mr. Wand!

I took some pix!



I like these cardigans, but Hux says I have the fashion sensibilities of an old man sometimes - or at least when it comes to cardigans. :)



I like this jacket a lot!



My gloves, my ear muffs and umbrella splayed on my zebra snuggie. XD



I'm going to put these PJs on as soon as all of my family gets out of the house!



Hand sanitizer, Audrey Hepburn box set (thnx Huxley) and giant candy cane. What could be better?!

The rest of my family that just arrived gave me some more money and some candy on top of this. Yay!

I got:
-A 100-pack of blank CR-Rs
-A desk clock
-A sweater
-Fuzzy d20s
-Four t-shirts (Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock, Binary People, and two relatively uninteresting shirts)
-Season 3 of Psych
-Several pairs of socks
-Two pairs of gloves
-A sample box from a chocolate shop
-A case of Mtn. Dew
-A thinkgeek gift certificate
-Two Wal*Mart gift cards
-A book about cats
-A kitten calendar

From what I can remember off the top of my head:

32 gig iPod Touch

one of these badboys which I can't wait to get in the kitchen with

Pair of pink cashmere socks which I am rocking right now and are very comfortable.

£25 itunes voucher for apps and all that stuff for the iPod

a Mr. T t-shirt

A big ass book (think it was a new Stephen King novel or something)

generic chocolate/ale/socks/£60 for shoes from my Auntie Janet etc etc

Pretty stoked overall. Didn't ask for anything so it was definitely a good haul all things considered

As a recently single man I only got gack presents from my Ma. :(


Christmas Sucked this year.

- Kodak Zi8
- Bluetooth headset
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Madworld
- New earbud headphones
- New boxers
- Scarf
- Calendar made with pictures of my nephew :)

Also, sorta as a present to myself, I got myself a Samsung Solstice. I mean, it's free after rebate and all, but yeah, I really like it :) Great for texting.

I feel kind of awkward when Christmas comes around, because I get so disgustingly spoiled I feel somewhat sick to my stomach afterward-- I don't deserve any of this. My mom's excuse: 'Well, I never get you anything through the year, so...'

Anyway, at the very least, I'll mention the most notable stuff... (note that I have a large, broken family, so I ended up getting a bunch of stuff from everyone)
Some DS games (most notably, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days)
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Cardcaptor Sakura manga, vols. 1-6, (1st Edition Tokyopop)
The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Shoot the Bullet, Mountain of Faith, and Subterranean Animism (aside from the fighting games, my Windows Touhou collection is now complete)
Ibara (PS2 port)
House, Seasons 1-4
A camera/camcorder
HRAP EX-SE arcade stick
60GB Xbox 360 hard drive
around $175
and probably most curiously, a 31-DVD Studio Ghibli box set, imported from China. Some of them are obvious bootlegs, but many of them play perfectly well (and actually look incredibly clear!) with English subtitles. Some of them I haven't even heard of! I can't wait to delve into this.

I actually feel really uncomfortable accepting everything I got this year. I don't deserve any of it. I really, really don't.

:gruffi:

I got Assassin's Creed II, some money and gift cards, a couple of shirts and some chocolate. Merry Christmas, folks. :)

I thought you would have had all the Touhou games at this point xD

Had them all downloaded, yeah-- but not actual hard copies. :p

16 GB iPod Nano
Beatles Rockband
Fallout 3 GOTY (smurfing lost my old copy so I'm so stoked to get to play this again)
lots of sweet clothes
approximately 400 dollars
The Harper Book of Quotations (smurfing awesome)
The Professor and the Madman (looks like an awesome read)
Elk Jerky
Other miscellaneous :bou::bou::bou::bou:e

Such an awesome Christmas, not only 'cause of this sweet haul, but because I got to see lots of people I haven't seen in forever. and yeah I definitely feel so unworthy of accepting all this stuff. oh well though.
