I think i'll be getting both versions of Smash Bros. and likely GH: WoR. Plus, there's the big gift of the year which is supposedly the best gift i've gotten so far in I guess my life, excited to see what that is.

Well my mom already did a big chunk of my christmas shopping, and it was a lot of clothes. A coat, jeans, and shoes. I know my grandmother on one side is getting me PJs like she does every year. I'm probably going to get a bunch of Panera gift cards since my family likely hasn't gotten the memo I don't work there anymore. I think my brother is either getting me a Fallout 3 bobblehead, or an OMGpop one (Jules and Vincent, of course). Also asked my mom to get me this, but she probably forgot about it (http://store.bethsoft.com/brands/fallout/ladies-new-ca-republic-tshirt.html). My aunt will probably get me an American Eagle gift card, or a Barnes and Noble one, same with my grandparents on the other side. My aunt and uncle have recently become grinches and won't give me presents because I'm over 18. Which is kind of messed up since I think they're only coming to get free presents for their kids now. Which I didn't buy for, because you can't just cheat at Christmas like that.

My stocking will probably have gum, candy, and body creams... but I'm interested to see what I think I'll get vs. what I actually get.

Well, my big gift isn't a laptop, which is a bit disappointing because the netbook is annoying as hell because it always has to be hardlined. At least that means there's more mystery to it.

As for clothes, my grandparents are coming up tomorrow and they've got clothes covered, and they usually pick some cool stuff out. Plus they buy dinner at a local pizza and chicken place, so i'm excited for that.

Alpha Sapphire / Paper Towns / TFIOS DVD pretty much sums up what I'm getting. I'll get some extra niceties as well, so that's cool ^^
Title: Re: Christmas Is Nearing

Probably a nice dinner.  I'm in Maryland instead of Tucson so I'm happy with where I am.
Title: Re: Christmas Is Nearing

 Uhm

 Alpha Sapphire (bruh), some fragrances, a shirt and some books. Apart from that, I don't know.

 We're in a tight spot at the moment so I'm happy with what I have but my mother doesn't like how it looks like I've hardly got anything.

I know my brother is probably getting me some RPG related stuff, I kept showing him Paizo's magnetic initiative tracker for role-playing games and I suspect he ordered that for me. I assume he did most of his shopping through thinkgeek and Paizo, we both tend to treat each other that way at Christmas. This year we weren't really planning on celebrating since my dad passed away just over a month ago, but the amount of gifts my grandparents dropped off before going to Florida from the extended family on their side boggles the mind. We didn't even put up a tree this year, so apparently we're going to pack everything up and have Christmas with some very close friends of the family.

As far as my grandparents shopping? They usually do clothes but last year my grandfather got me some neat stuff for tech (Chromecast, which hadn't been released in Canada yet) among some other neat gadgets. So we'll see.

I've got like absolutely no idea what I'll be getting - couldn't think of anything I particularly wanted so didn't ask for anything. Kinda worried with what my parents will come up with when left to their own devices xD

If they give us anything related to Apple I think that would be a nice moment to say "good bye" to my home. Otherwise, as I want nothing, I have no idea. Clothes and perhaps a LEGO and a paintable model.

My mom got me a jacket. I think my brother got me Omega Sapphire.
I got him a Kirby Amiibo and I'll probably look into getting him something else (maybe a Link Amiibo or a game on Steam). I got my parents a new coffee maker (ours doesn't do a good job with non-instant coffee). I'm also going to be participating in a "White Elephant gift exchange" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_gift_exchange) with some extended family. Cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. It'll be about 30 of us participating.

Mainly self medicating to get me through the fact I'm in Lincolnshire for Christmas.

Oh well, mum's happy I came to visit anyway.

And with any luck I'll be driving dad's car home instead of mine.

Wrapping gifts is so annoying.

Why is it impossible to CUT IN A STRAIGHT LINE

WHY

WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME WANT TO KILL A BOX FULL OF KITTENS OUT OF RAGE
Title: Re: Christmas Is Nearing
Post by: SirBlaziken on December 24, 2014, 17:24
NOOOOO NOT THE KITTENS! *Hands him a magikarp* Kill this instead.

Anywho, I have to do Christmas late for my family since I finally got money.

i'm getting a massive golden statue of myself

So far I got $150, cat themed vans (http://scstylecaster.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/authentic_aspca_cats.jpg?w=800&h=1200), the Fallout New Vegas shirt (although my mom accidentally got a men's instead of a woman's size), and the Charisma bobblehead from Fallout. Also I have some comfy new slippers. Now it is on to the dreaded extended family christmas.

I got a few Star Wars themed presents this year.

Two books called The Jedi Path and Book of Sith, that are part of a three book set (the third book which I don't have is about the bounty hunters like Boba Fett).
Another Star Wars book, which is all about Obi Wan.
The Star Wars 2015 annual. The annual says "With augmented reality" on the cover, I'm not sure what that means!
A T-shirt with "Trust me, I'm a Jedi" written on it. My mum wondered why there wasn't a "Trust me, I'm a Sith" T-shirt. Isn't it obvious why there isn't one?
My mum printed out a few pictures of Obi Wan and bought a couple of frames to put them in.

Star Wars presents aside, I also got a karaoke CD with all the songs from Frozen on it.
I got a few DVDs, namely, Sister Act 1 and 2 and How to Train Your Dragon 2.

A Minecraft T-shirt to replace my old one.

A LOT of chocolate!

Christmas has been AMAZING for me this year.

 It's been a nice Christmas. I've got one heck of a lot of books and some other stuff I've wanted, plus some nice incense sticks since my old ones had a scent similar to urine.

Woke up on the morning to a new GHD, some synthetic eyelashes, a certain toy for my collection and my newly repaired kimono under the Christmas tree -- thanks mom

I am joking  v_v Got some movies, cards, clothes, games, jewellery and more. I'll probably get a few hellos from cousins and friends and acquaintances over the coming days as well. Hope you all have a happy new year and a great time :)

Been a bit of a mixed Christmas. My 3DS no longer works, as of about 4 days ago, but it's within warranty, so Nintendo's gonna fix it for free once I can get it shipped out.

The holiday has been used as an excuse for fighting and screaming, as per usual, so half of my immediate family isn't speaking to one another.

On the other hand, I got a Mega Blaziken shirt and Walking Dead pajamas, both of which are comfy and easy to wear. I also got to watch my niece open her Christmas presents, and that's a pretty magical experience. She really loved everything she got, and that makes me happy. :)

Nice to know my family isn't the only one here in a tailspin.  :dry:

On a happier note, in total I got both versions of Smash 4, a fennekin plushie, a huge tin of popcorn, some clothes, couple pairs of pajama pants, some books, a pair of knives, $50, the Iron Fist and Drax Disney Infinity Figurines, the new Disney Infinity, the Samus, Yoshi, and Marth (which the latter alone can go for over $60 on Amazon) Amiibo figurines, HTTYD 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy on BluRay, the complete second season on Impractical Jokers my first tablet (it's an android), a rousing game of Cards Against Humanity at my cousin's, and a lot of dark chocolate. (the ones in orange are family presents)

Best. Christmas. Ever.

Three of us ended up with iPads this year. My fiancee bought me one, my father in law got her one and my dad bought my mum one.

So we're all on tablets as I write this. No talking going on. Oops.
