...I know it isn't Christmas morning yet, but I thought I'd go ahead and start this inevitable thread now and pin it before a million different ones suddenly pop up.

'Sides, in my household, we're allowed to open a present or two on Christmas Eve... the one I've picked out is large, boxy and suspiciously Zoid-like...

*checks the email confirmation stuff*

Got a muscle T, leg gaiters, front and rear shooting rests, SOCOM III, snow camo, and a barrel kit for my thingy . . .er(its a paintball gun with a funny name, Autococker or Cocker). That and prolly the usual cloths from g-ma and all that.

We're the same way,w e get to pick one on x-mas eve as well. We also have x-mas with my dads family to i already got the T and gaiters unwrapped.

I'll prolly open the snow camo first so i can tell my dad he forgot the pants(not to sound snotty, the thing he ordered from makes it seem like it comes with pants) . . .

So far.. I got for myself that little "Pocket Ref" book that was on Myth Busters.. Its SO amazing! There is literally informationa about everything (except the 7 wonders of the world, O have my mom to thank for that one :P)


More coming..

Well, The two Zoid models came in yesterday...I'm getting/ got a Brastle tiger , and a rayse tiger...Don't know what else I'm getting though...

Ooh, for Christmas Eve I got a shock-game thingy, a Saliva CD, a braclet with 'DREAM' on it, and a Vampire GBA gamelight. Yay. And I haven't even been over grandma's yet, I'll update later. :rolleyes:

Just got the WOTW dvd from my sister. :P Best movie in the whole world. And we also got DDR Extreme from my parents.^^ I'm hoping for a Bio Megaraptor. I've got this funny feeling...

That's just the fumes from the rubbery plastic they used going to your head. *nods*

Hopefully, I'll get a GilDragon for Christmas.

So far, I only got gifts from my friends. A necklace, Hershey Kisses, 12 candy canes, and a Roy Mustang Patch.

So far, I've got:

-An 8 oz Hershey Milk Chocolate bar
-A 3.5 oz Hershey Milk Chocolate bar
-A can of original Pringles
-A chocolate/marshmallow Santa thing
-A beef stick
-A can of these really good things called Pirouettes
-A 512 MB USB flash drive
-A book called "Thoughts from the Commode" (A joke because I'm always in the bathroom for so long)

I should be getting at least one more, maybe two or three more things in a little bit from my Mom's side of the family, and then of course there's tomorrow morning for actual Christmas stuff, and then tomorrow evening as well for things from my Dad's side :D

Ehh it's not even Christmas yet...so far I got $110 in a Chinese New Year envelope and it was happy birthday and merry Christmas, omg so cheap! Both as $110!? I got $200 already from my grandparents just for Chinese New Years...I am definitly going to complain...

I know what Zoid I'm getting because I wrapped it. There's a Hayate Liger with just a bow stuck on the box under the tree as a result :p. I want to paint it piiiink. I just need some pink paint. For now, I plan on taking it apart for kicks and panel-lining it, and possibly trying to move the boosters farther back.

As for other presents...the big one I already got was mister tablet. And a nice long phone call...

Lesh see.....

I got Zoids Battle Legends (again) for Gamecube, $250, $50 gas gift card, A really fluffy, cute and big leopard plush (cause I ish a leopard), candy, more candy, and I still waiting to see what I shall recieve tomarrow morning from all my friends.

Yay me... Now, if only I had a Gamecube to play my game on. >.<

I'd like a Gamecube. And Battle Legends. But I'm poor so, oh well. :rolleyes:

*built the Hayate right on the floor as people were still cleaning up*

My sister looked at it and said the boosters were in the wrong spot :p. I agree. I just need superglue and a screwdriver...

This dude!

I love Epsilon...

OMG!!! That Mudpuppy thing is so CUTE! *Pets it*

OH BOY. Steve got his favouritist King Kong remake evar. XD

No Zoids for me either, but I hardly suffered this Christmas. My mother goes berserk with the spending every. single. year. She's a Berserk Christmas Fuhrer. Anyhoo, highlights of this year's orgy of materialism:

- a carpet spot cleaner ("for when your cat pukes, so you can clean it up," she tells me. -.-* )
- LitterMate self-cleaning litter pan for the cat
- CD racks!
- shoe storage cube...for my four pairs of shoes/slippers/whathaveyou. 0.o*
- bunches of videogames, including Baten Kaitos, Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, Inuyasha: Feudal Combat, S.L.A.I., and some others
- newest volumes of xXxHolic and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles
- weekly planner and wall calendar
- electric toothbrush
- new cordless phone and
- lots of pretty new bedding.

Mom also randomly bought me a PSP. I'd never indicated that I was panting away for one, but it looks neat anyway. It's just such an expensive thing to buy...

Hope everyone else had a fun holiday too. ^___^

Aardy

Right, we finished the whole gifts thing.

I got $50.

I finally got around to getting what I got up

-$150 (total from 3 people)

-Almost all Naruto episodes (subbed, 1-27 and 79-100 are missing)

From my better half (I don't need anything from her cause she already does so much but she got me something anyways~! :])

-Baby pics, cause I never saw them before
-All the Naruto episodes my cousin didn't have
-A bunch of songs she remixed so they sound chibi-ish
-A card, I'll scan it later.

I'll take pictures of everything once my camera stops being a suck. I wish I got a new camera for christmas along with all the other stuff. While getting all that stuff was fun, I had to get presents for each and every single one of them....

Things I have observed over past high school xmas

-It's easy for guys to get guys other presents because well duh, they're both guys.
-It's easy for girls to get girls other presents cause all they have to do is buy each other panties or other girl things. :]
-It's easy for girls to get guys things cause guys are easily satisfied for the most part.
-It's NOT easy for guys to get girls things because

a. Guy things are not as expensive as girl things (with the exception of games)
b. Most guys who are seen going into Victoria's Secret to buy stuff for girls end up being called gay by other guys that see them...which is why they cant be seen.

That's my experience.

0.0 Wow. You sure had a nice Christmas.


ALL the Bleach eps.?? *steals*

I had no Bleach eps beforehand to call my own... :(

Last years xmas was better though... *coughgettinglaidcough*

Not if you go with alot of girls of course, I've gone in with them to shop. I've never bought anything from that store though.

I hate Victoria's Secret and their traumatizing store fronts. Disgrace to the color pink, that stuff is...

Nope, I'm talking about actually buying things. There's one big problem with going with a lot of other girls...

They get jealous of whoever you buy the gift for. (Unless you're someone they'd never want, like say, the 40 year old virgin.)

Oh yeah, there are other problems too when it comes to actually buying things. Since it's not exactly something to easily discuss....

Spoiler tag time:

Things to remember when buying from that store

-Know what you're getting. Get the wrong thing (too big implies you think they're fatter than they are, too small implies anorexia)
-Know the girl you're getting it for. (It's embarrasing to have to ask for their bra size as it shows you don't know them. Instead, find these things out firsthand if you know what I mean)
-Don't bring a lot of girls unless they're not single and are really close friends. Otherwise, jealousy may occur
-Always wrap the present. It makes everyone happier. It also makes the present easier to deliver at school, especially when you go to a school like mine.

In my experience, fullfilling ALL of these leads to pleasurable results. Remember kids, stay safe~! :]



This is pretty much the only useful thing I learned in freshmen year. You learn a lot when 90% of your friends are the opposite sex :]

Been there, done that.

Though I wasn't buying anything for anyone, a friend wanted my opinion because she was getting a gift for her boyfriend. Oy but that was a weird evening.

And Tilly....I agree. Those store fronts ought to be banned. They're eye sores.

Full List now...

-$50 gas gift card
-$200 in cash
-Zoids Battle Legends
-Gamecube
-Wireless Gamecube Controller
-Gamecube memory card
-Giant stuffed leopard
-Giant stuffed tiger
-Giant stuffed white tiger
-lots and LOTS of candy
-Box of ritz crackers cause I LOVE THEM@!!@$#@^$@^*$@*^(
-Rum cake
-Bottle of Jack Danial's
-a cold
-and alot of boredom... >.<

Yeah, fun fun

The ultimate rule:

Dark Horns are better than flowers, and Leoshop chrome Zoids better than jewelry.

Skimpy underwear is only good for cutting up and using the elastic in craft projects.
