A hot chocolate maker, along with a tin of Tim Horton's hot chocolate (some of the best stuff I've found, I say)
A toaster oven
New wallet (the old one was barely hanging on)
A whole bunch of sugarfoods (including a large jar of chocolate covered almonds and a rather large amount of Christmas baking from my parents)
A hand blender
two hoodies (one's a 2010 Vancouver one, the other's plain gray)
Some Microsoft Points (can never have enough, I say)

Best part for me, though, was just going out to my parent's place for Christmas Eve, followed by a larger-scale family get-together on Christmas Day. Some time with my family was something I've needed for a while.

My list is small, but at least it's nearly everything I asked for.

1 Bionicle set: Takanuva (the new one)
4 Bionicle books: Bionicle, Legends #11, The Final Battle; Bioncle, Rahi Beasts; Bionicle, Dark Hunters; Bionicle Encyclopedia, Updated
DVDs of the first two Bionicle movies, Mask of Light, and Legends of Metru Nui (although I've seen these movies before, I've never been able to actually own them)

I also got a few things not related to Bionicle, but I don't have enough time to list them now.

My first fanfiction: Quest for the Energy Stones
My unfinished and canceled second fanfiction: Quest for the Mask of Life
My currently ongoing fanfiction series: LEGO Equestria Girls

My family decided that instead of spending money on ourselves this year, we thought it would be best to donate the money we would have spent on presents to ASPCA.  I'm sure we made a lot of poor animals happy and I'm glad we decided to do it.  Through EVERYONE in the family, we donated a total of a little over $30,000 (we have a BIG family).  Let's just say they sent us a lot of T-shirts. :lol Naw, just kidding. :p

Um, I think about $200 for my new laptop, the movie Bender's Game (I love it from its hilarity), a $50 Best-buy gift card, and $25 for iTunes. I'm happy.

EDIT: Oh! I forgot my Secret-Santa gift exchange through my class. I got a nice roll of duck tape, a Dragonforce CD, and two glowsticks for our annual talent show. This satisfied me the most.

Hey guys!

Despite being a few days late, (done a little travelling this jolly season and not too long got back), thought I'd may as well share my bounty too :)

This Xmas, I got:

£170 from various relatives
An Electric Shaver
Kung-Fu Panda
Family Guy Season 7 (technically it's just the 2nd half of season 6 but the British Certificate Office screwed things up)
Family Guy: Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story
Clothes
A Black Doo-rag (bandana in other terms)
a Dragon Figurine
Deodorant and Shower Gel Gift Set (wonder if there's a hidden message there :DD )

Didn't do too bad, not that I was hunting for anything in particular. ;)

I'll tell you, Littlefoot1616, Stewie Griffin: An Untold Story, is hilarious. I love it.

Mumbling: Awwww. That's sweet.
Rat_Lady7: There are two things on that list of things you got that I like. The origami set, and the Leopard OS disk.
