I handled all my Christmas gifts this year due to personal events.

 

Picked up the Wii U Deluxe the other week, and found NSMB U on Amazon Warehouse Deals for $40. Picked up Kid Icarus for its Virtual Console, and Ball also arrived from Club Nintendo. I've got Kirby's Dream Collection on order to own from GameFly since they were only charging $25 for it, can't wait for that to arrive.

 

My girlfriend doesn't have much money so I'm near-certain she got me a movie, which hopefully I will be able to watch that with her today.

[Kuzu]

Nothing.

[Blue Wisp]

A pair of boxers from my dad, and various shower stuff from my grandma and uh... My grandma's sister, having a brainfart, can't remember how your grandma's sister is called.

Eh I would have liked something else but eh.

 

EDIT: OH. AND MY MOM GAVE ME THIS:

 

 

THANK YOU MOM.

And THIS guy gave me Portal 2 through Steam~

[MykonosFan]

Supposedly you call your grandma's sister your great aunt...had to Google that one. Family terms always confuse me.

[Faseeh]

Oh got a few more.

 

A neat microphone, a pair of sneakers!

 

 

also PSI, if you are reading this, you didn't gift S4Ep2.

[Alex2Beta]

Well, even though it was a rainy and foggy Christmas, I must say I love it anyway.

The gifts, well I got plenty of nice treats in my stocking, followed by:

 

-A Black Wii U with Nintendo Land.

-Sonic & All-Stars Transformed for Wii-U (Even though I already have the PS3 and Vita version, 'tis cool beans)

-Civilization V from my older brother (cannot wait to give it a spin)

-A picture frame for small pictures with a digital clock at the center of it from my sister

 

What I got my family as follows:

 

-A Rolling Stones concert DVD for my Mom, since she's into concert recordings

-A fancy candle that looks like a pastry for my Sister

-Lightbulb vase for my older brother..Surprisingly, he said he actually wanted it, huh.

-A Skylanders figuring DLC thing for my younger brother

-Tepig Plush for my younger sister.

 

Pretty much everyone was happy.

 

EDIT: Forgot to get my Dad and granny a gift, but since my Dad was busy on his job and wasn't able to come, I got time to make up for it by probably buying one tomorrow, possibly for my Granny too.

[JezMM]

 

Mollfie got me Kirby’s Adventure Wii, Professor Layton 4 (yeah I’m a bit behind on Layton lol, lotta games came out when 4 did and I had to make my choice), New Headset, Two New Hoodies (one of which I had early coz I needed it lol), Nando’s Sauce set thing coz I mentioned it looked cute lol, and a new SD Card that, while I originally wanted it for my 3DS, I’m currently using it to install some new Steam games since my comp is chock-full.  Oh, and a beard trimmery shaver thing.

 

My Mumsie and Step Dad got me Brave, Mario Candy Canes, Keane Album (I’m not the hugest fan of them these days but I made a tradition of buying every album in physical release so), Ferrero Rocher (Yaaay we wanted these but so expensive), Scott Pilgrim Colour Volume 1, and an Marks and Spencer voucher for £50!  D8  Which I totally needed for clothes so yay.

 

My bro got me Giana Sisters on Steam, and my sis got me the robot t-shirt.  My Dad got us that massive box of Thorntons (he’s never been a huge gift person lol).

 

Molly’s parents got me that Doctor Who TARDIS toy (out of the blue, we didn’t even know they knew we liked Doctor Who), as well as most of the other random odds and ends and chocolates/biscuits (others were from stockings Molly or my Mum put together).

 

Also my online friend Cyphorian (Cypher from Sonicanime.net, if there are any fellow veterans in the room) very kindly got me Jet Set Radio totally out of the blue.

 

I won’t list of all of Molly’s presents but the ones I got her were the limited edition of Skyrim, the Perspective! guide comic book, Pokémon Black 2 and the Brita Water Filter (which was kind of a present for “the household” but she loves getting stuff like that and I wanted to get her something she wanted but hadn’t asked for lol).  Molly had a lot more money than me this year for the first time so don’t think I was being stingy coz she bought me a load more.  >8U

[Scar]

Hahahaha,

 

Look at all you people and your ridiculous Christmas hauls.

I got......a Vegetarian Christmas lunch, which was a huge surprise, since we've never had Christmas....er....well anything before.

 

As for gifts well....I've received less gifts in my lifetime than some of you have in a single Christmas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not bitter........

 

 

 

Nope.

[LATER BUDDY]

My christmas (and birthday gift) this year was just rent on my apartment since I've been tight on money, XD. Though in a stocking I also got some little but nice things like candy and a 20 dollar gamestop gift card (will probably buy a PSN card and then Munch HD with it XD). Little barebones this year but it's been a great Christmas seeing my family and dog again.

[Danj86]

This be a mighty fine stash o' booty, lads. (heehee, booty.)

 

I took some close up shots of the stuff in case they can't be made out in the group picture.

My dad used one of those special shirt stickers that are stuck by using an iron on a plain white T-shirt, and made me a shirt with a picture of a dancing little orange blob from a series of advertisements I always laugh at. I love that little orange blob, it's an excellent dancer and just so cute. <3

 

My brothers sneaked out and got me a Wii U, with NintendoLand, New Super Mario World U and Rabbids Land. I was having trouble deciding if I wanted one, but now that ones here, it's an awesome surprise.

 

My sister got me Samba De Amigo on Wii and a Sonic Generation figure with codes for those secret trophies in the game. My brothers also got me more of a hit live action TV show I like on DVD, called Burn Notice, as well as Mass Effect 3, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex for PS2 and a John Pinette stand up DVD. Hehe, he's funny.

 

Meanwhile, I had forgotten that 4kids no longer had the rights to One Piece, and I didn't own a dub on DVD, so I splurged out on those.  ...and a lot of other things. lol

 

 

While getting way too many things for Christmas has become part of the tradition for me, I can't help but feel like a 24 carat jerk when I see the very little some of you guys get.

But as long as your happy and have enjoyed your day, then that makes me feel much better.

[sonfan1984]

I didn't get much.

$200 cash (I've also ordered New Super Mario Bros U with some of it. It should come in a few days) and a Wii U Deluxe console.

[Silencer226]

Looks like I'm going to be ordering this with my Christmas money. Well I already ordered it.
