(Darn you for starting this topic before me!)
As for my stuff...oh goodness, I have quite a lot. At this point, I'm not in the mood to post everything I got, so I decided to record videos on my webcam system, and I'm uploading them to YouTube right now. I'll post them here later on. TTFN!

I got 3 shirts, a Camaro calendar and a Camaro history book called "Camaro: Five Generations Of Performance" ^_^ :) So, I got two BRAND NEW Camaro things for Christmas, but not the actual car. ;) Lol. And I have a long-lost cousin Ashley who's 5 years older than me who hasn't seen me since I was reaallly little. I can't even remember the last time I saw her, I was that young.
The shirts were a Tommy Hilfiger polo shirt, a black IZOD polo shirt, and a red "Coca-Cola" t-shirt. ;) I did get all of the gifts that I wanted. ;)

I got some pretty awesome gifts!
I got a scarf, a Maroon 5 CD, a One Direction CD, $300 in iTunes gift cards, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and, my personal favorite, Assassin's Creed 3. So, all in all, it was a pretty good Christmas. :)
-
Well I haven't opened half my presents yet as I was spending Christmas with my father's family rather than at home, but what I've received so far is:
A 250 GB PS3
Bond 50 (all the Bond films on Blu--ray)
Mad Men up to the current season on Blu-ray
A lot of rare Beach Boys' concerts on Blu-ray
Some Confederate currency
And my personal favorite: An 8 inch tall bronze statue of Napoleon that my father picked up when he visited France earlier this year. :DD
Oh yes, and lots of gift cards. :D Still have the other half of my presents waiting, though those won't be opened until my mom gets back on the 27th. :)
-
I got an Artist's Loft with acrylic paints (along with other things like a sharpener and eraser), two new Skylanders, some shower supplies, a shower rack to put my stuff on when I shower, and some new glass cookware.
-
Ehh, I didn't expect gifts this year, but I got some sketching pencils, a book about Crows (I am super psyched about that!!) candy (lots and lots of candy :p) and I got gloves, and a scarf, as well as a graphic novel, sort of a compilation of various artist's works printed together in a single volume.
I hope everyone had a peaceful and restful (and food-filled... ugh, my brain is melting from all the tryptophan in that turkey) holiday^^
-
I got myself some long sleeved t-shirts, a few sweat pants, to help me keep warm this winter, also 2 dvd sets. 1 is a collection of public domain sword and sandal movies, and the other, I managed to get during 24 hour 7?% off sale is the whole series of monty python tv series.

A lot of MLP stuff, even the season one DVD.
-
Forgot, I got myself some video games from GOG, they are having a month long sale.
Duke Nukem 3d, Sam and Max adventure games from telltale, Wallace & Gromit adventure game, torchlight, planescape: torment, painkiller: black edition, postal 1 and 2, blood 1 and 2, and carmageddon. Some of those I've not heard of before, but were part of package deals.
-
All I got are two movies on DVD: Captain America & Battleship (I don't go out much)
On the other hand, I drew a lot of gifts for friends on DA!

Yipes, my other grandma sent us something and it just arrived late. Huge box full of food. :o
Beef jerky, smoked salmon (yay!), pepperoni sticks, blackberry jam, crackers, and some cheese. And two oven mitts. 0.o
I don't think we'll be buying snack foods until next Christmas.
-
I got Halo 4, X-COM, Far Cry 3 and a bunch of The Walking Dead books and comics.
-
I didn't get much, as usual:
- a Lego set (LEGO City: Space Launch Pad) (there was a second, much larger, set that I also wanted (also LEGO City space-related), but I guess the cost was just too much for my parents)
- one of those 4D Cityscape Time Puzzles (Last year, I got New York and Washington D.C. This year, I got the country of USA. It was a good way to spend the day without an internet connection. (until I got to the part where I had to remove the plastic pieces from those rack things. The connections were so thick that I had to use an xacto knife to remove them, adding four hours of frustration to a puzzle that should have taken no more than six hours to finish. :bang ))
- and a set of headphones, because my dad frequently complains that I always turn up the volume on the TV if someone else is in the room. :rolleyes
-
The flu. :wacko
And an Avatar: The Last Airbender artbook!
-
Sorry to hear you got sick freckled one. I got a couple Games and so on.

Well, I’m weeks late, :oops but here’s my list of what I got for Christmas:
Dinosaur models:- Carnegie 2011 Carnotaurus (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yz05r-y1Zbk/TIjs7Qwg43I/AAAAAAAAADw/gO7mz0oRZOQ/s1600/carno-color-1-send.jpg)
- CollectA Argentinosaurus (http://www.handhwc.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/88547.jpg)
- CollectA Kosmoceratops (http://blog.everythingdinosaur.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/kosmoceratops.jpg)
- Wild Safari 2008 Allosaurus (http://images.esellerpro.com/2382/I/104/56/SF284929.jpg)
Food:- A bottle of barbecue sauce (I love BBQ wings :p) on which my sister had used a marker to doodle my signature bushy beard and “bullhorn sideburns” on the faces of the two guys in the logo. :lol
- A little bottle of vodka shaped like a human skull. :huh: (I’m really not much of a vodka drinker, but it was kind of funny.
- A 2-liter bottle of Diet Coke and a pack of Mentos (I had shown my mom the Mythbusters' "Diet Coke + Mentos" episode earlier that month, and evidently she found it so fascinating that she bought four sets of these, for me and each of my siblings. The cola geysers we managed to create weren’t too spectacular, but it was neat nonetheless.)
Books:- Drawn from Paradise: The Discovery, Art and Natural History of the Birds of Paradise by David Attenborough and Errol Fuller
- Dinosaur Art: The World's Greatest Paleoart by Steve White
- A Field Guide to Mesozoic Birds and Other Winged Dinosaurs (http://www.panaves.com/) by Matthew P. Martyniuk, an awesome book about feathered dinosaurs laid out exactly like a birdwatcher’s Audubon field guide.
- All Yesterdays: Unique and Speculative Views of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals (http://svpow.com/2012/11/29/review-all-yesterdays-conway-koseman-and-naish/) by Darren Naish, C.M. Kosemen, John Conway, and Scott Hartman, my favorite among the books I received. I enjoyed this one so much that I may make a special thread for it in the “Member Recommendations” section.
And, as usual, I received a complement of awesome and hilarious hand-drawn Christmas cards from my siblings. :DD
