I know what I'll get, but... it's now 1:15 A.M. on the 24th, so... - A sh*tty trivia game my mom bought - A sh*tty pedometer game my dad bought - Something awesome for the Wii that my brother bought - I'spose clothing or pillows from my grandma (And that's fine by me) - A Black Classic Controller (We're still waiting for the eBay shipment) And neither me nor my bro got what we asked. (Me: This Tosh, My bro: A used PS3 that's way cheaper than the real thing). Why are our parents total dicks? And not just about Christmas either. Anyways, what I'M giving out is... - A Darth Vader CubeCraft and a back massage for Dad - A Knuckles the Echidna CubeCraft and Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections for my bro - An NES and NES controller CubeCrafts for my other bro - Foot massages and me shaving my beard for Mom *groan* You guys should also post what you're giving. |

Why are our parents total dicks? Ever stop to think they might not be able to afford a goddamn laptop and PS3? Anyway, yeah. Giving, because I'm a generous b*stard. - Fifty quid of hotel vouchers fer ma maw (because that's what she wants for some reason) - Rod Stewart CD for my dad. Yes, I am intentionally spending less on him, because he's probably going to die of liver failure sometime soon anyway. - Some DVD for my brother. Yet to decide on what exactly. Considering getting him Haruhi or some KIPPERS, because he loathes anime. - Phantasy Star Portable for Jack, since we've been playing Monster Hunter Freedom 2 for far too goddamn long. - Garth Mahrengi's Darkplace and Dillan Moran's What It Is for my true bros in Northen Ireland. Some of the funniest sh*t I could muster. - Frankie Boyle's My Sh*t Life So Far and Jack Dee's Thanks For Nothing for myself. I figured if I was going to get books, they should at least both be by comedians famous for their misanthropy. |

A jar of marmite? ? EDIT: forgot to add this but.. TRATER! A mis-spelling of TRACTER? Except this is going to be a lot more fail now because I've just realised "Tractor" is spelt with an O. Damn. Anyway, I've asked for a network switch for Christmas, an item I probably have no use for because I have no understanding of networks at all, on any level. I'm giving: Some liqeur liquer DRINK chocolates for my Dad Some Jellied fruit things for my Mum.. believe it or not, she actually ASKED for these.. And a vaguely stylish wallet for my brother. |

It's almost as if everyone forgot my thread existed (Understandably)
It ain't Christmas for me yet so I'll have to wait and see :v
However, so far I've got:
New shiny 22" monitor.
I guess that gorgeous new coat counts as a rather early present.
I'm sure tomorrow will bring much fun.

Getting nothing. Money is really bad so we can't really afford anything this year  as for giving, draining all the money of my bank account ($60 lol) to get presents for my nieces/nephews. |

Got a Kindle a few weeks back.
Got my dad an office chair, some books for my mom..
And I'm fairly certain I'm getting Mount and Blade, the best combat-sim-disguised-as-an-RPG ever, a book light for said Kindle, and a bunch of other minor KIPPER I haven't seen yet, mostly from my massive extended family.

Despite my suggestion that we should've celebrated Winter Solstice instead of Christmas, I'm not getting much until probably later than the 25th because of the snow and KIPPERS has made shopping difficult.
I have however gotten a couple of books that I wanted as early presents, these are Beginning OpenGL Game Programming and Game Physics (lots of maths in that book, as expected, given any luck I'll be able to understand more than half of it by the end of the year).
