So, what X-Mas Presents Did YOU get?

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

I got two nice comfy shirts...

...and since I've been obsessed with dinosaurs since I was a little kid, I got a Jr. Monopoly *ages 5-8* Dig'n Dinos board game. Man, it's embarrasing having your family have a good laugh at you. -_-

So, any other tales of gifts out there? :D

[Danielle]

Well, *you* gave me a bucket of anvils......and I believe Sango gave me a French lesson... (wait...no she didn't! I needa French lesson! :p )

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand my sister is forbidden to bother me the whole day 'cause I can't eat.......now *that's* a great present! :D

[Trent Lane]

Well, I got a new stereo system, two shirts, a pair of of dress pants, POTA Thade w/ horse, Darth Maul w/ Sith Speeder, art supplies, and the Wal Mart exclusive Batman two packs. Yeah, I know, twenty years old and still getting toys for Christmas.... :rolleyes:

[Fantasie117]

I got a new calendar, 6 Bon Jovi CDs, and many DVDs: Lethal Weapon 4 (which comes in a snapper case, argh!), Enemy of the State, the Sci-fi Channel's Dune mini-series, and the WB's cartoon version of the Lord of the Ring series. (Does anyone know if they're any good?) I also got the 3 Lord of the Rings books.

I was very happy this morning. :D

[DR. BELCH]

*A Simpsons T-shirt (showing the evolution of Homer)
* Grinch boxers
*Bob Dylan's new CD, Love and Theft
*2002 day planner
*Stephen King's Four Past Midnight
*sack of candy

My neice Saliah, however, made out like a baby bandit, it being her first Christmas. Toy cars, dolls, and such. I gave her some Melaleuca tooth gel, shampoo and bubblebath--she loves bathtime, so I thought it'd be appropriate. ;)

[The Guard]

Lol. My dad got Dave Barry's new book. Hilarious.

My favorite present was a little Super Friends ornament. It's a miniature lunch box that opens up, and there's a little Super Friends thermous inside. Very quaint.

Yeah - we don't have one in our bathroom so we're stepping out of the shower in wet feel to a nice slippery floor. Thankfully no accidents yet.

PS: Bath MAT, not BathMATE, folks.

[NewMaxFranklin]

I had a great pre-Christmas, which is why I haven't been to the boards much in the last few days. My family flew over from Hawaii to visit me (mostly because of my birthday on the 23rd.) They flew home this morning. I hadn't seen my sister in over a year. She looked exactly the same, but my little brother(13) was a lot taller.

We went to Disney land and all over the place, ate all kinds if fatenning food, went shopping. I stayed at a hotel with them, two hotels actually, so it was like when we used to take Disneyland vacations together. I really had a great time.

Gifts were th furthest thing from my mind, really. I bought my dad some leather uppers and my sister something she picked out (the one that wasn't on sale) from Tommy Hilfinger; a brand name I don't like, and don't wear, but the stuff they got was nice. My mother wouldn't let me get her anything, as usual, so I just hugged the hell out of her the whole time she was here, which she likes. ;)

My little brother didn't want anything from me either, because there were a slew of gifts adressed to both of us, which is common practice. So, he kept that stuff, gave me a CD and we called it square:rolleyes:.

Goodnight, everybody!!! :D

[The Penguin]

I got both the Batman and Superman logo shirts I was hoping for. I also got some other shirts and money, which I may use towards Batman: Animated.

[electricsheep]

things were pretty good this month...

earlier in the month I got a 5.1 DVD Home Theater System and a Digi Cam...

and on Christmas I got a new 27'' TV, Metal Gear Solid 2 for PS2, Japanese Gundam X DVD Box Set, and some clothes...

[James]

DVD's Star Trek 3 - The Search For Spock (love that film!)
Cat's And Dogs - Mr Tinkles rules (well cat rules apparently)

Clockwork Bender (yeah, now you can all kiss my shiney metal ...)

Corgi collectors of Knight Rider and Dukes Of Hazzard (surprisingly accurate)

Gameboy Advance (back after many years, to the nintendo family.. :D)

Batman: The Ultimate Guide To The Dark Knight - Pretty...

A rather good xmas if it wasn't for this blasted cold that reared up Xmas morning... :(

[Blight]

Let's see, I got a Gameboy Advance with Spyro: Season of Ice and Dexter's Laboratory: Deesaster Strikes games. I also got the Harry Potter movie soundtrack, (just saw the flim, and I loved it! But that's another post...) Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them, (the 2 comedy relief Harry Potter books) I got the live action Grinch DVD to go with the family's new DVD player, and a Power Puff Girls 2002 calender. And that's it. I love Christmas, don't you? :D

See ya!

[Samhaine]

After a gift exchange with my friends I pulled:
A Goku minibust
The Jersey Trilogy on DVD
Violater 3 figure
and the Ultimate X-Men book (I didn't even know they had one)

However, the gift that was the coolest that I gave was a statue of Cloud Stryfe to a friend who is in love with FF7. He "now has an idol to worship." :bosko:

[Jowy Blight]

A Gamecube
Super Smash Bros. Melee

[James Harvey]

Oh - I forgot something. I got a $50 certificate for FUTURE SHOP (soon to be BEST BUY) which I can't wait to completely blow. I'm still not sure what to buy with the certificate. I may wait until TOMBSTONE: VISTA SERIES comes out on January 2nd (I think) to spend it on, but I'd easily be able to buy the three animated SPAWN DVDs and still have $15 - 20 left over to get something else...

[optimal321]

Well, i got

Gamecube
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Luigi's Mansion
GC accessories
The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight

That's it, I think.

Well for the old man and me, Christmas came about a month early in the form of the Gamecube and a bunch of games (Batman: Vengeance :D ) and a brand new truck. He did surprise me with a Batman T-shirt, though.

From others we got lots of gift certificates, some DVDs (Planet of the Apes, Swordfish, Someone Like You - Hugh Jackman, mmmmm :) ), and personal odds and ends. My secret santa at work was very generous - candles, gloves, candy, knick knacks.
