[pokeplayer984]

So, what did you get for whatever December Holiday you celebrate this year?

I'll post mine later!

Please list yours!

See ya later!

I received a Garmin GPS unit for my car, a 1.5 TB external hard drive, and some socks.  Now that I have a GPS unit that actually functions, perhaps I can avoid getting lost the next time I take a trip to St. Louis.   The last time I was there I left and reentered the same neighborhood about 4 times before I finally managed to find my way out of the city.

I got gifts all over the place so I'll write down what I remember

This morning I got a book on funny language mistakes made in the media the past couple of years. Think of incorrect grammatical constructions, which then lead to hilarious misunderstanding.

Michael and I got a shared present, namely Zelda, A Link Between Worlds. I wanted to get that game as soon as it was announced on Nintendo Direct, so yay!

I got gifts from two GoF members this year! I'd like to thank TFS for Pokemon Conquest for my ds (it's good fun!) and Coyote_A for the Age of Empires II HD the Forgotten expansion. Haven't really gotten around to playing it yet, but I'm sure I will sometime soon.

Not sure if I forgot anything. Got a couple of small gifts, including some pokemon card packs, for Sinterklaas earlier this December. Also 100 euros from my grandmother

lol don't judge me, but gift cards aside, I asked/got body cream, shaving cream, microfiber clothes, earpads, and; oh and money. The gift cards were BlicksArtStore and AMC. Lol tbh I got all that I asked for, with $40 extra, a $15 TB gift card, and a free pack of Dove cookies 'n' cream xD

I got some stuff, most of it I got myself.

adjustable stand for tablets, cellphones, ect.
the hobbit extended edition dvd

Godzilla hoodie


another friend said he'll give me the Christmas gift he got me next week, no idea what that is.

[The Chronicler]

At this time, all I got was a couple of LEGO sets. The rest of what I was supposed to get has apparently yet to arrive in the mail. I'll let you know about it when it arrives.

Also, my brother spent last week with his girlfriend and her family in Florida, specifically around Disneyland and Daytona. Because of this, he got all of us quite a few gifts of his own. For me, he got some fridge magnets and a pack of Astronaut food (a freeze-dried ice cream sandwich). Since it's supposed to stay good for a long time, I think I'll save it for a special occasion.

Well, my holidays were rather modest, of the gifts I recieved:

Vintage Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

Nintendo 2DS

Pokemon X

Mortal Kombat Kollection(PS2)

[WeirdRaptor]

A whole pay load of Classic Era Doctor Who serials.

[Nick22]

i got the first 3 books of the game of thrones book series
 a book about theodore roosevelt and william howard taft
 new clothes
a BIG box of candy
a new hat

[The Chronicler]

Package arrived today, so here's what I got:

- two LEGO sets (from the Architecture series): Big Ben and Leaning Tower of Pisa
- Astronomy calender for 2014
- two DeLorme state atlases (part of one of my unusual collections)
- Brick by Brick, a book about the history of the LEGO Company and how they learned to innovate properly. (The main reason I decided to get this was because there's a chapter dedicated to Bionicle and the impact it had on the LEGO Company, particularly in its early years when it practically saved the company from bankruptcy.)

[pokeplayer984]

Okay, finally got time to go over what I got.

- Despicable Me 2
- Disney's Planes
- Some Temple Garments (My Grandma sends me these every birthday and Christmas)
- Sudoku Books
- Pajama Clothes (My Mom gives each family member a new one every Christmas)
- Candy
- $175

There were two big reasons as to why I went for having a huge amount of money given to me rather than presents.  Little Devil #1 and Little Devil #2, who cannot keep themselves from ripping open presents when they see them! :

Anyways, I have gone and spent some of the cash I got and bought myself the following.

- The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for the 3DS
- White House Down
- Dreamworks Turbo

There was only one game I didn't get, and it's sold out at ALL of the places near my apartment.  So on Monday, me and my Mom will be going on a little shopping hunt for it.

That's all from me on this one.

See ya later!

The gifts I received this year were mostly from the families of the children I care for. Cookies, a lot of gift cards, jewelry, and a nice shirt ;3
My BFF also got me a Mary Kay set

[Blitz]

Here's what I got:

~Wii U
~New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U
~Rayman Legends for Wii U
~Gift cards - Amazon (one $25 & one $50)/Disney Store/Xbox 360
~Kermit's Swamp Years DVD
~Rattle Shake (Skylanders Swap Force)
~iLive Clock Radio for iPod and iPhone
~Blue and black PJ bottoms
~Striped white long sleeved shirt
~Striped blue long sleeved shirt
~Black Frosty the Snowman T-shirt from ICE
~Gray/white/red socks
~Frosty the Snowman plushy from Build a Bear (By far my favorite besides my Wii U and T-shirt)

As a bonus, I went to see Frosty at ICE and took/got some pictures to show for it. I also have two more things on their way to my area that I ordered from Amazon, one of which is an HDMI splitter so I can play my Wii U on my TV because as of now, it's plugged up to the TV downstairs. The other thing is the character in my avatar. Not only will he be a Christmas present (late but it's ok), he'll also be a very early 24th birthday present for me. Best of both worlds. <3
