Well, our family has the tradition of opening one present the night before Christmas, so I figured I would start this thread now, and edit it later.

Post what you got for Christmas! If you didn't get anything, post and everyone will +rep your post, so you'll have some rep to fill your stocking.

My List

Nikon AF-S VR 55-200mm Zoom Nikkor Lens

I got a wallet from my gf, and funnily enough, it has the all seeing eye/pyramid etched into it, some popular aussie surf brand (?????), and she didn't even know it was there.

Heh, seems fitting that it's right where I keep my money too.

Other than that, JD BBQ Sauce, some Thai cookbooks, the Ghostbusters game (rad) and I'm probably going to get myself the intuos 4 large, but probably in jan($$$$$$), for now though, it's gunna be a new mouse, since this one just fucking broke, on christmas eve, while I'm trying to play my new game.

For some funny reason we didnt do the '1 gift on xmas eve' tradition.. I pointed it out, and my sister started asking for it, but my dad said it was too late. And then I finished wrapping my last present, and stuck it in the hard-to-see spot behind the tree.

Actual gifts so far: $10 tf2, lotsa event junk from miscellaneous MMO's with christmas giveaway events including a $5 cash shop coupon, and also a large water bottle (64 oz).

Moved from that one other thread where I forgot it wasn't the loot thread and accidentally bragged about my loot in a thread where a guy was talking about how he wasn't getting anything for christmas because his family was in a jam.

Today was mom's-house-christmas.

Loot list!

Two small highlighters
a stencil...?
chapstick
a bunch of tiny chocolate bars
a bag of chocolate coins
three oranges
a kiwifruit
chocolate altoids
a flashlight (i have gotten some form of flashlight every christmas for three christmases)
a jar of jalapeno stuffed olives (awesome)
a segmented jar of different Dave's Gourmet spices (FUCK YEAH)
180 dollars
and a lumbar support cushion for my car (O_o)

Well... I guess my back does hurt when I drive...


More to come tomorrow at dad's-house-christmas!

Not expecting anything; the only thing I showed any interest in wanting was the Francis T-Shirt from the Valve store, and I don't think anyone in my family trusts online shopping. My mother and I got everyone giftcards for Five Guys (http://www.fiveguys.com/home.aspx), my grandparents a few small things they want and need, and I got my mother a good pair of shoes.

I managed to get myself a copy of Left 4 Dead 2 on the 360 by trading in a few DS and 360 games I don't play anymore. It's funny, I got $20 credit for Mario Kart DS, and only $8 for Halo 3...

It's only 8am, nobody's up yet except me (goddamn cold...), so I might be surprised.

sorry i don't rip everything ever
don't worry, i don't buy music on itunes
just tv shows. because generally ripping them means a massive hassle or terrible quality

*awaits infraction for discussion of piracy*
e: also i got a snowboard fuck yeah
ee: okay freeprancer in my opinion the reason everyone is buying the t1i (which i've noticed as well, last time i had checked amazon was out of stock of the damn things as was the store i went to to buy it) is because they aren't dumb enough to buy the XS or the XSi
they have generally okay reviews, whereas the T1i is marketed as a very good entry level camera and its reviews support it
