So what are you getting for christmas this year? thought I might create this as its only 7 days to go.

I'm getting,

Fallout 3 xbox360
Borderlands
Microsoft points card
Wii Points Card
New Desktop
Other stuff

I'm getting:

Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing (Special Edition)
Nothing

Yup, another great year for me.

I'm Getting:

Dunno, it's a Surprise.
Dunno, it's a Mystery.
Dunno, it has been bought by someone for me and I didn't ask like a brat for it.

Damn it Shadowmoon! Why did you have to go and ruin my tradition?

:p

iPod

I'm so future

....and the obsession with already knowing exactly what you get is, what? ruins the surprise. I've got a list of like 40 things and just told everyone to pick something from the list.

How often do you end up with 40 of item 1, and none of items 2 - 40? :p

I suppose he makes sure that when someone makes a choice, they check it off of the list and pass it onto the next person (without him seeing the checked-off items of course)

I suppose he makes sure that when someone makes a choice, they check it off of the list and pass it onto the next person (without him seeing the checked-off items of course)it's actually an amazon list. when someone orders from amazon it auto-checks it off the list :p

and the only people with this list are my immediate family anyway, so they can easily coordinate who's getting what. if my friends get me something it's completely random **** they thought I'd find amusing, but nothing I actively desired to have. for instance, last year I got a stuffed black knight from monty python from a friend.

I'm getting my life back

I get to go home!!
Things I'd like are a second Dualshock PS3 controller, God of War Collections and a preorder of God of War III Ultimate Edition, and maybe Dante's Inferno preorder if I'm lucky.

I think I asked for some weighing scales. I'm very excited.

I'm getting my life back

Where did it go?

Where did it go?it ran away. do you blame it?

How do people already know what they are getting? D:
IT'S THINGS LIKE THIS THAT RUIN CHRISTMAS FOR EVERYONE... including baby jesus.

Bah humbug. :mad:

I don't know what I'm getting since I haven't asked for anything. Screw you materialistic possessions. :p

I don't. I'm just hoping that's what I get.

All I asked for was a moleskin sketchbook. I really don't want a bunch of stuff..

I find these threads are always more fun if read in the voice of Harry Enfield's Loadsamoney.

It depends on how you know. If you are told in advance then yes, it sucks. The funnest thing about getting presents is trying to find them before you receive them. :p
Back when I was a kid we(me and my brother mostly) would spend almost the entire two weeks before Christmas secretly searching every little crevice in our house and our grandparents house for our presents. Once we found a parrot and were like "no way that's for us". But yes, it was. Probably the craziest Christmas gift we ever got.

There's a simple solution to that problem.


Put the most expensive present as item #1!

I'm getting my life back
Owch. What a sucky gift!


*runs*

Put the most expensive present as item #1!I think you completely missed his point.

That's...

That's the joke, Aku.

That's...

That's the joke, Aku.I was trying to give you some credit and assume that wasn't the case.....

A Wacom Intuos4 tablet.

Might get something else I don't know about.

... oh, and a sprained ankle, just this morning.


Amazingly, this is the first christmas in about eight years in which I have not recieved anything in the way of electronic games. I never thought this day would come.

I got:

Fallout 3 GOTY edition
Borderlands
Wii points card
Microsoft points card
Docking station for my ipod
Itunes card
Clothes
Sweets
Chocolate

I got a hoodie. I don't quite like it tho.

I got a shirt, a sweater, an extra PS3 Dualshock Controller (finally I can play local multi with my friends who don't have a PS3), some various sweet foods, and the latest Discworld book, "Unseen Academicals". Enjoying it thoroughly. If you're a Pratchett fan, I recommend that you buy it ASAP. Highlights some very interesting philosophical issues as well as being funny as always.

Got ODST from my auntie today, playing it as I speak. The multiplayer disc is tasty.

Lets see I got:

Assassins Creed II
Killzone 2
Spaced Series 1 & 2 on DVD
Waltz With Bashir on DVD (which is a brilliant film if you haven't already seen it.)
Many, many, sweeties
Several items of clothing.

I also got to spend my first Christmas abroad in the north of France, which was delightful.

Super Mario Bros Wii (which I played CONSTANTLY over the next couple of days with my sisters. beat it and now I've let them borrow it cause I can't play my Wii due to lacking a TV here)

and an actually decent digital camera.

and a ton of random food.

Ah...
Pants, earrings, lip balm, money, PSN Card, candy, pajamas.

Hm, a Green Day album and a Wolfmother album.
That and Killzone 2.
And a bunch of other stuff. :p

Me and my brother got a PS3, with Brutal Legend, Assassin's Creed II, Ratchet and Clank, and Uncharted 2. On top of that I got a cushion. And then I bought a crud-load of games in the Steam Holiday sale.
