Bing Crosby?

^ that's gone right over my head http://forums.digitalwarfare247.com/...t/confused.png

He's white, and he sings Christmas songs.

I bought myself some stuff for the apartment.
I don't think I'll be getting anything from immediate family members, as they likely can't afford it, and most of them live in other states anyway. My parents will probably give me stuff from their freezer...
I'm not worried about it though. I have everything I need.
Socks and underwear would be cool though. Can never have enough of those. Where are grandparents when you need them? (oh...dead)

Heh, I wrapped various 50 dollar checks with wrapping paper and a bow and everything for them when they come tomorrow. They're under a tiny Christmas tree I bought.
Even though it's the thought that supposedly count, I know they'd prefer money. I'm just not giving as much of it out this year.
At least they'll be happy to know I'm making an awesome dinner, and I even stooped so low as to download one of those fireplace video loops and put a Christmas album to it and made a DVD of it for the living room... I mean.. I never...
Hilariously enough, I HAVE A FUCKING FIREPLACE.

I just don't wanna dick around with it.

I think I just got bumped up to upper-middle class. Sweet!

oh ok, I see what you did there. I've murdered your joke and for that I apologise sincerely :(

Got the BlackBerry Torch 2. Sweet device. Very speedy, and very efficient. The navigation is not all that different from the other BlackBerry devices, and I was able to do pretty much everything within ten minutes of powering up. The touch screen is nice, big, and has a wonderful color display. I'm going to download some tunes on it and see how the sound quality is with headphones. It works VERY nice without.

Also got some books - Sylvia Plath's unabridged journals, a filmmaking book, The Help, and whatnot.

Oh, and I got a tent! Going to set that sucker up later on - it appears to be pretty damn roomy, and is going to be great for festies this summer.

Also got a few board games, an Arrested Development shirt, cash, and assorted doo-dads. Pretty nice haul! Now, I'm going to take a power nap before getting ready for Christmas dinner.

I got a new PC. Lenovo Ideacentre B320, I think it is. Gorgeous thing. And guess what's downloading onto it now? Only my future soulmate, Skyrim.

Finepix Z90

Bethany GR9 Reserve Shiraz 2004

Video games live volume 1 CD

€20 PSN card

Socks X2

and a fleece lined jacket

I'm really jealous.

Check out my sweet new watch.

I got:

Toh Kay's (Tomas Kalnoky of Streetlight Manifesto) "Streetlight Lullabies" LP
The Flatliners "Count Your Bruises" 7"
Shawshank Redemption Blu-Ray
Lord Of The Rings extended DVD box set
Zodiac DVD
Werther's Original Tin
$25 iTunes gift card
Some clothes (tee shirt, socks, pajamas)
Assorted candy

from my parents/siblings. I'm pretty stoked about this stuff.

I have a family Christmas with the grandparents and extended family tomorrow.

That's a pretty good haul. I'd be very pleased if I got all that. Wish someone got me a gift card! Real pain burning CD's all the time.

I love those Nixon watches. I've had my eye on a couple of them, and I think I might buy one with all the cash I got for Christmas.

Here's my loot:

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/a...asloot2011.jpg

• Pajamas (2 pairs - the plaid ones and the red ones)
• A sweater
• P vs Z game. It was on my old laptop but the hard drive got formatted and I lost the original disc. So not really a "gift", just a replacement that I didn't have to buy.
• Lots of chocolate
• iTunes card
• $165 in cold hard cash (as you can see)

The best thing that I got though is a $100 gift certificate to see the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (bottom right corner). I'm so excited because they're putting on so many great performances during the second half of the season. I missed Lang Lang in November, but I think I'm going to go see Yo-Yo Ma perform with them. I'm already going to see a special performance with Itzhak Perlman on April 28th, one night only. Can't wait for that!

Haha, well so far I haven't purchased any music on iTunes, I instead used some of the money to buy Civilization Revolution and Minecraft: Pocket Edition. :D

Pink trimmed ankle weights GB?

I'll be getting most of my stuff tomorrow when I see my nephew.

Did you watch the Christmas special? I'm not keen on Moffat all the time, but it wasn't bad.

Anyway, I'd take pictures but my camera is currently in Scotland with my dad. I got:

^^^ Not actually that one, I got a cheaper one I couldn't find an image for.

I got more cash from my aunt. 100 dollars!!!!! So now I have $265 in cash, and about $200 in various gift cards. Guess who's going on a shopping spree? Except not tomorrow - I don't have the nerve or the patience to go shopping on Boxing Day.

Oh and check out the sweet $100 bill I got:

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/a...asticmoney.jpg

It's ****ing made of plastic! Which is what they're starting to introduce here to curb counterfeiting of money. A see-through section and everything! I never heard of plastic money before, let alone touched it! It's such a novelty and I think it's cool, but I'll have to let it go when I put it in the bank :(

Wow! That's an awesome idea! I'll bet it wears better too.

I wonder if it will catch on.

160 Gig Ipod

Catalinbread Montovillian

various giftcards

3 used DS games.

I feel like I'm a bit spoiled when I look through this thread. :(

Better than last years.

Shame Bill Bailey & Alexander Armstrong weren't in it more.

According to my 'rents, they don't do men's style ankle weights. I'm not too fussed anyway, its not like they're gonna be on show any of the time. Its good enough. 1.5Kg on each leg. Will probably make my daily tasks a bit healthier.

Psshhhht, that's nothing. 100 grams? My dad got one from his sister that weighs a whopping 4.5 kilograms, about 10 pounds. This is not my photo, but it's from the same store she bought it at:

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/a...oblerone-1.jpg

$80.00 for that!!

No it's not 100g, it's a big one.

Not as big as that one.
I value my teeth.

I could of sworn this was taken in an American store. Only Americans can eat that much chocolate.

Well, she lives in Detroit, so yeah! I think it was actually her photo that she posted on Facebook awhile back...

Only real men wear pink!

True, I was hoping to see loads of Bill Bailey. If they went to all that trouble of getting him in, why only have him in a few scenes?

And the same for Claire Skinner from Sleepy Hollow. Hardly saw her.

Mind you, they're probably worried about them upstaging Matt Smith.

I got a sony vinyl player. Now I just need some gigantic speakers and I'll be the most obnoxious kid on my street

I got a white 32g iPhone, but Santa says it's gonna take him 3-5 business days to get it down the chimney.

I got, and I'm not kidding, 50 packs of cat food :D.
There's this certain type of cat food my cat loves and it's often sold out.
So my mother collected some for me.

And, just like last year, which is sort of the idea from now on:
http://www.krantvanflevoland.nl/file...lands-2012.jpg
Tickets to the Lowlands Festival ;).
Which is more than expensive enough :D

I got a new HP. We got our daughter a Kindle Fire and some fun knick knacks and books. My husband is getting trip to Vermont to meet up with his mates for St. Paddy's Day.
My Mom sent us all mugs with a picture of our dead dog on the front.

I got a danelectro spring king reverb pedal
clothes and money

I got:

A really nice flannel shirt

some sweatpants

some money

a nice t shirt
