About 5 shirts, all pretty good too. A shaver, looks all right, will try it tomorrow and see how well it works. A very nice watch, although it is waaay too big for my wrists, and slips off my hands.


Pretty good haul!

[palsch]

A SCOTTeVEST hoodie and Thinkgeek Bag of Holding. My encumbrance limit just doubled.

Also the usual pile of books. Given the size of some of them (Reamde in hardback...) I'm going to be needing the bag.

[micelus]

Lets see what I got this year...

The usual cash, some clothes that I dearly need, Itune cards, and a nerf gun.

[Frajic]

Earphones! I can now listen on both again, and each session doesn't require 5 minutes of wriggling around the contact to get to that perfect spot were it doesn't... whatever you call it. Where the signals goes through anyway.

Oh hey, someone who shares my issues! It has happened to all three of my headsets so far, and while I replaced the extension cord that got ruined for the last one, it might be going the same way.

Anyway, presents. I got a scarf(considering wearing it normally, it looks kinda good on me), Doctor Who visual novels, volume 1, 2, and 3, "Snuff", by Terry Pratchett, a day-to-day Pondus(Norwegian comic) calendar, 4-5000 kr, and a Hero of Hope hoodie should be arriving soon enough(I don't "know" about it :y).

[inteuniso]

The most notable of my presents, a Mosin-Nagant M1930 Carbine, manufactured in 1936. My dad is so awesome.

[Roboboy33]

I got quite a bit,
I got,
20$ (Steam)
A nano hex bug, (Is running around the room)
A hex bug spider (I like this. Just hope my cat doesnt)
2 games, both puzzlers (I likes puzzlers)
A pair of genuine swede men's slippers (No more cold feet)
A box of cees candy. (Yum!)
A charlie the unicorn shirt (Hell yeah)
A minecraft shirt (HELL YEAH)
A 100 piece puzzle (Puzzles!)
A bionicle (I think I can use this for show)
Rubiks cube (PUZZLES)
Get ball off metal puzzle (PuZzLeS1!1!)
Gyrocopter from Propel RC (Who?)
Next book in the series I'm reading (Yay!)
My cat going cRaZy because of the foreign content (Really, hes running up and down the hall because of a bottle cap.)
A whole cylinder of cheese balls (Can I eat these?)

Spoiler: Chez ballz (click to show/hide)

Thats about it, along with other small stuff.

I guess I should post a list.

-A poseable wooden mannequin to use for reference when sketching out poses.
-Lots and lots of candy.
-A gift card for a coffee shop that's closed but will be back in the spring.
-A Loface shirt:

-A new tablet! It's pretty great so far. Feels different than my old one, though. Probably because it's slightly bigger.
-Did I mention candy?

It was a great Christmas.

I happily want to open presents, and then realize my brother is going to sleep in for another five hours. My parents will probably wake him up in two, sure, but that's still too late. I want my childish joy, man.

[Mono124]

I recieved a watch, $140, Skyrim, and Orange tic-tacs. The first thing I did was flip out about the tic-tacs and eat them all.

I completely understand, that would have been my exact course of action. Orange tic-tacs are the best candy in existence.

[freeformschooler]

I downed half of my Sour Gummy Worms in one go, which was a poor decision as we had a Christmas breakfast feast.

[Itnetlolor]

Previously (within the week):
An RC mini helicopter (and a good brand/type) from my dad
Portal 2 and Orcs Must Die (Steam) from my older brother
I don't think I got anything from my oldest brother yet
2 Replacement tires and a tune-up on my car from my mom (Most used/abused car in the household as well; and not often driven by me unless I have work)

Today:
3 Dress shirts from my mom and "Santa" (A hint?)
2 T-shirts from my older sister
A stocking full of hygenics from "Santa" (A hint maybe?)
 -Cotton pads (facial scrubbing I suppose)
 -Toothpaste
 -Candy Coal (Joke item of the lot; everyone got some.)
 -Plastic toothpicks (These I actually use plenty often)
1 $4.00 winning $1 lottery ticket (out of 4)
A bag of beef jerky (Jack Link's Teriyaki)
I assume my room being mangled then re-arranged after a thorough cleaning is supposed to count as a gift in itself.
I also assume last night's drunken stupor/lush permission (not too common) also counts. No hangover at least, yet again.
(UPDATE:)
101 Philosophy exercises book and a replacement XBOX (not 360) controller, since I was thinking of breaking that back out again sometime soon. A good condition replacement controller really helps. (Now if I can get myself a A/V cable connection linked onto my computer and be able to broadcast what I'm playing on my PS2 and XBOX for livestreaming, that'll be something. But for now, YAY! Classic XBOX is essentially live again. Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio Future, I return!)

Note on supposed hints:
I hope I'm being hooked up with somebody (blind date) or something, otherwise, I see no other point to these gifts personally outside of my wardrobe getting the same treatment as my room being up next; not to sound rude. Then again, I am near-impossible to shop for, and changing me and my lifestyle is the closest thing to a full-blown gift (I think as "my" family gift to everyone. I think I apparently lack class. I prefer the term 'practicality-minded'; I go with what works, not what looks good (Utility vehicle rather than sports car (including SUV), so to put it, despite my sports car unofficially turning into a utility vehicle itself.) they can think of.

I sense my birthday (2 months from now) may look similar. One thing's for certain, this kind of stuff is persistent and near-impossible to shake off my tail. Funny thing, when I find the time appropriate, and I am personally motivated to, I clean up far better than I've been setup by anyone else in the past. Why they don't see that, I still don't understand. I have nobody to impress, why should others care? To stop caring about that would be a more adequate gift to me.

I don't think there are really any others left besides other guests to the house that haven't delivered their gifts yet. I'll update accordingly if any.

UPDATE:
Added a couple more items.

[Neyvn]

Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah!!!
Why is everyone getting Mini RC Helicoptors... There is like 2 on this page alone...

[DJ]

<<+socks+>>

[MetalSlimeHunt]

-50$ of Best Buy credit
-Gears of War Lounge Pants (No, I don't really know either.)
-A subscription to Weird Tales (The magazine that Lovecraft submitted most of his tales to when he was alive.)
-Skyrim
-Gears of War 3
-Another game of my choosing.

All in all, a very good year. But now I must go and visit relatives without using any of it. Alas.
