What Did You Get?

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, Festivus... Whatever you celebrate (or don't!) this time of the year, let's face it, there's bound to be at least a present or two lying around. So this thread is dedicated to people being able to share and gush all about what they gave and got this holiday season.

For myself and Markus, we celebrated Christmas with my mother, doing the gifts under the tree yesterday (because tomorrow will be really busy), but we also had our own Yule celebration, and have been giving small gifts to each other throughout the month.

So, here's some of what I recieved:
Pocky
Black 2
White 2
A new mp3
An Oshawott plushie
A few shirts (>9000, Regular Show, and a few plain but cool ones. Ooh, and a flannel one)
Jeans
A blindfold sleepmask (I have an irregular sleeping pattern)
Ear muffs (also for sleeping)
A laptop case that can double as a messenger bag
A few books (Hunger Games, and a couple Animorphs ones)
Oh, and my mother gave us a bottle of imported French wine for tomorrow that seems to be worth about $40-ish

Wow, that's a really nice haul.

So far I know I will receive a movie, and my sister bought me a coffee mug.

I actually got a few other things, but a lot was spread through the month. Markus also got me a Bleach movie. And I got some sleep pants and a nice jacket and an electric toothbrush with many attachments and stuff. And Axe stuff, as is typical of the season (despite the fact that I rarely use any kinds of scents). More stuff, too.

Markus and I both wanted to make sure the other had a good holiday season for once.

So far, I got two PS3 games, Silent Hill Downpour and Shadows of the Damned.

I have never heard of the second one, and I've am unsure on any new Silent Hill game. Not sure on other stuff though.

I also got 60 bucks. FUCK YEAH!

You can tell you've become an adult in my family when you get a calendar while your brother gets a PS3.

I got a really good haul this year, not one thing I had to do the fake appreciation face for.

Beat Headphones
Halo 4
New Wallet
Joop aftershave
Lots of deoderant/shower gel sets (the practical things are really appreciated when you live away at university)
Socks (see above)
Where's Wally? Calendar
Chocolate
Money Money Money

I bought myself Pokémon White 2 a week ago as an early present but it bored the hell out of me so I stopped playing.

Back for round two: A Zelda shirt, a Green Day shirt (someone apparently doesn't know me very well but it's the thought that counts), sunglasses, a stomach ache, and a telescope. The last one I'm particularly excites about because it was one of the only three things I asked for this year that I got, so I'm happy. Hope to take it out to a dark sky location somewhere and take a gander at some nebulas and galaxies, which it's powerful enough to capture.

And on Steam
