Probably just some clothes. I mostly like to give out gifts could care less about what I get since if there's something I really want I just got get it myself.

Is this thread for those who have took a sneek peek at your gifts? Or is it just a "Look what I got!"-thread?

Since we celebrate on christmas eve here in Sweden, i'll get my gifts today

I haven't checked what it is though, so I don't know yet... But I will tell you later!

Since this is the first Christmas in a while when I've been working and thus had enough cash to buy things for other people, I've focussed more on being generous this year than my usual self. So I bought my dad a light up disco drinks coaster (he has a love of daft gadgets with lights) and loaned my brother the money to get dad the new Tron game on PS3 he wanted, I bought my brother a golf game he wanted for PSP and an Indiana Jones doll (he's alarmingly childish for a 37 year old) and I got my 7 year old nephew a Star Wars toy gun of some kind and LittleBig Planet for his PSP.

As for what I expect to recieve in return, I suspect my dad has rather pointlessly got me RUSE for PS3 after I commented on its decent use of Move controls, even though since we have a house full of children throughout Christmas and when that finishes he'll be sat playing Tron, getting me a PS3 game is entirely wasted money in the grand scheme of things. Unless he's got me a PS3 to go with it he's wasting his time. My brother has probably got me a DVD box set of either Indiana Jones or Back to the Future as I commented on seeking both of them at some point during a previous paycheck. I don't expect anything from anyone else in my family.

As for what my friends give and recieve this year, I got Kai a remote control plane, dunno what he got me. And what Amelia and I exchange during the holidays in none of your damn business. Everyone else is too busy with their own shit these days so I doubt I'll see much else. Still, it's largely irrelevant since everything I wanted or needed I bought with my wages anyway, including my rather nice new jacket which cost me more than a week's pay.

But all the same, merry christmas to all. Hope you all get whatever it is you feel you need to be happy. Personally I'd have had a merrier time if Team Cyclops had released the new firmware BEFORE I dropped 28 quid on Golden Sun, but such is life I suppose.

Toodles.

Usually people start getting things from christmas eve so just keep posting as you keep getting more

I've gotten some new clothes and 50 euros. That's it, it's like that every year and I honestly don't care.
Clothes are always nice to have

 

[Forstride]

And what Amelia and I exchange during the holidays in none of your damn business.

I have a few good guesses.

A 3DS from GBAtemp!


No? Oh...

 

[SubliminalSegue]

Wont know until Saturday, but I honestly don't care anymore. I got my Xmas Present back in October, and whatever my gf gives me on Saturday.

I'm supposed to be getting a new computer with a 500gb Harddrive and a brand new motherboard, but I have to give them two six packs of beer, some vodka and a couple huge cans of Fosters for it, so it's not really a christmas gift.

 

[Twiffles]

I got a cold as a present. Celebrating with my clogged sinuses and sore throat!

 

[unnkown95]

On my final day of school before Christmas break, I was surprised to find that many of my friends had gotten me gifts, out of the blue. Of course, presents are meant to be given as a surprise, but I was especially caught off-guard by the fact that I had never received gifts from them in previous years.

In total, I received a Simpsons comic book, a DVD of one of those old Japanese Monster movies, a Yoshi doll ( I asked her if she had to play the Trendy Game to get it, she was not amused), and some awesome Mario-themed candy.

On one hand, I'm flattered by this sudden flood of gifts from all of my best buddies. On the other, I now feel obligated to return all their favors. So I'm going to go out and buy their gifts tonight, and drive down to their houses to deliver them. I know I'll probably be a nuisance, considering it's Christmas Eve, but I feel that unrequited gift-giving is totally lame. Curse you, moral values!

In the realm of what I'm expecting tomorrow, I know for sure that I'll be opening an iPod Touch 4, and an Adventure Time themed shirt. It's not that I snoop, rather, I ended up encountering both of their boxes while I was getting the mail. Despite these unintentional spoilers, I'm still quite stoked.
