Re: What did you get?
 

Well, It's a bit odd of an odd story, but I'm not celebrating Christmas until the 26th.

You see, usually, we don't celebrate with the extended family until after Christmas, but this year, we're doing it on Christmas day (later today.) My intimidate family and I like to spend a lot of time opening presents (I have younger sisters.) so Christmas and the opening of presents is an all day affair, since we have to go out today, we decided to wait until tomorrow to open up our presents.

And actually, I think that's pretty cool.

So I'll let ya'll know tomorrow.

Re: What did you get?
 

My Birthday and Christmas combined (birthday being in January) from Santa, direct family, and distant family (grandparents and the like) only puts about $200 to the computer that I bought.

:unsure:

Aside from that, today I got two small tupperware, a small box (Magic: The Gathering card holding devices), a Weapons and Warfare book for LotR, a KMFDM shirt, and a LotR poster. The last two being from my sister as part of an "out-of-the-hat" sibling-to-sibling gift exchange.

Compared to what I see from the majority at this board, it appears as though I got the shaft. However, I've gotta remember that those outside of my direct family are asses who like to receive more than give, and my parents have to pay for five children's gifts.

But I'll make up for it when I invite a good half dozen friends over for my birthday.

P.S. Damn Deathshand... nice gifts! But yeah... I've received many a self-help "How to be a true Christian and stay away from Satan" books from my "ex-Aunt". It feels awkward to be happy not getting them anymore... I mean, a gift should be a gift, right? Nope, it just sucked more than it was worth. I feel for you man.

Re: What did you get?

new cellphone (nokia with sprint service)

Re: What did you get?
 

Yeah me too, when I'm retired and if I have enough money to do so, I want to visit everywhere before I transition on to the afterlife.

Re: What did you get?
 

Agreed. Places that Im deffinatly going to try and visit when I retire:

1. A European Tour. Yeah, I would just like to spend three or four months visiting every country in Europe.
2. Some Asian countries...

Then, after Im done touring, Im going to settle down somewhere in Europe. I'll live the rest of my life in England somewhere before I "hit the afterlife."

Re: What did you get?
 

I hope I f*cking die before I ever have a chance to retire.
