My parents were mean and gave me like 5 small-medium presents first, then gave me the awesome laptop after watching me utterly fail at hiding my disappointment.

I was definitely spoiled this year. Several of these things i didn't get specifically today, but they were considered either Christmas presents or my birthday (which is coming next week).

- New fast laptop (This)
- Samsung Fascinate (Android) with Verizon (though i've had it for a few months, it was still part of the holiday presents)
- 10 day trip to Walt Disney World (WOOHOO)

- Some new clothes that actually FIT me, definitely not ungrateful (lost a ton of weight and can't wear that old elephant skin anymore)
- Fantasia bluray (love that movie)

One of mom's Christmas presents from me was being pushed around Disney in the wheelchair lol! She had a knee injury a while ago and was having issues walking (huge place i'm sure you know), so i rented her a wheel chair and pushed her around the entire park. Pretty exhausted myself right now, but i'm not really complaining. Probably good for me, and it's fucking Disney World after all! I also handed over my other desktop computer to her since i now have a new laptop (her old pc needs to be donated to the smithsonian).

So, just from her I got, 2 expensive sweaters, $50, a movie, an xbox game. Also, a 40" television. That wasn't just for me though, it was more for the whole family.

From everyone else I got

Kinect (Surprisingly, it's REALLY fun)
RDR:Undead Revolution
$200
2 more sweaters
A t shirt
Chocolate
$20 cineplex gift card
Skittles

I got a lot more than I was expecting, and it was a great Christmas

Nice. You're kinda late to the generation, though. Glad everyone had a great Christmas, and for the others, quit whining.

He already had an xbox. Him and I game together sometimes. I guess he was just lucky enough to get an upgrade.

It just kills me that people come and bitch online about their family Christmas. I realize financially some families can't afford to give their kids as nice as Christmas as other, but seriously guys, complaining on the temp?

This thread wasn't meant to start jealousy, just to share what people got.
I will say I am sorry to some people who's parents did give the shaft or made their Christmas hell.

$140
Sony bluetooth headset for ps3
deodorant
coffee mug with my name on it

Overall, a kinda crappy year for me but nevertheless, I am still grateful as there are people who can't even afford a healthy lifestyle.

A merry Tempmas to you all and may you all continue to find happiness.

(crappy year because last christmas was my first christmas that my parents split up and I got $200 from each of them and a few other things)

Like...15 pounds of candy...I dunno why. My GF's family is weird like that.

And a giftcard to get some groceries, which seems like a holiday buzzkill, but I really need food.

Yeah, I already had a Arcade XBOX 360, release date Wii, and another 120 GB PS3. I have no clue why I got another set, but I'm not complaining.
