An outfit for interview, Ipod Nano, $100 cash + $100 amazon card, electric shaver, some small stuff, and a bookbag.
I have no idea why they got me an Ipod I've never said I wanted one and I dont really listen to music except on youtube, so I'll probably just sell it. And the bookbag... I graduated from college a year ago.
Anyone know what to do with $40 on Amazon? I don't have anything else I want.

not that it wasn't bad, just thought it didn't turn out that good as a series as a whole
-
My favorite gift would be the Detroit Red Wings Home Jersey I got. I love it. I also got some new headphones and other things.
We just got a new kitchen and everything in our house, so I didn't got 'much'. Not that I would care if I got one or a million gifts. I'm still thankful.

I'm really happy especially seeing as I didn't ask for anything. The only thing is I didn't feel that Christmas magic this year at all, I really hope it comes back next year because I love that warm feeling that Christmas brings. This year felt pretty empty.
-
I loved the first two, but I got really bored reading the third one and couldn't finish it. Maybe it was because I discovered video games in between Eldest and Brisingr.

I was impressed with how well my parents managed to get the computer down to that price. They did their research... They're 58 almost, and they can custom build a gaming comp like this? Coolest parents every. I felt like I was getting spoiled with the computer. Hell, I don't need half of the stuff on this list.

-
A shirt
$1080
Lots of chocolate.

A new desk
Chair
3 pairs of comfy fleece pants
Around $200 in total which went to my new comp build, on it's way from Newegg.
Very Happy with this.

it's also more slave oriented (thanks thread on sinterklaas)
-
you people are spoiled. i had four gifts of mediocre/average quality and i had a great christmas. i find it a bit annoying that some of you are like "ugh i only got skyrim, l4d2, and $600 this year.".
merry christmas nonetheless but seriously. just because you didn't get a Turbo-Derp 87600 GTX GTi GX graphics card. doesn't mean that your life is over.
-
New owner of this, I'm really happy with it actually. I don't feel spoiled, because I spent 5k of my own money towards it, and my parents are helping me finance the rest of the it till I get out of school, then I'll pay for it myself.
-
Got a bottle of this http://www.blacksheepbrewery.com/bee..._bottled_beer/ along with some camera accessories, some gift cards, season 1 of The Kennedy's on BluRay, a new suit top and about $120 in cash. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

I had a lovely Christmas and I got pyjamas, three packs of socks, chocolate and a simple bracelet to attach charms too. Honestly the gifts aren't what made me happy (although I did need the clothes!) but spending quality time with my family. I went to see a panto with my mum and toured the European Christmas markets in Manchester and had more fun than stuffing myself Christmas Day.
I look forward to organising more days out/parties with my family now :)
