Tell us what you were given for Christmas! Amongst other things, I scored myself a new mp3 player with a portable speaker system, and the PC game The Movies with an expansion pack from my Mummy and Daddy. I'm pretty happy with that, I'm relatively happy with where I'm at right now regarding material possessions. What did you guys get?

This is Thundie if you guys don't realise. Anyway, I had Chirstmas Lunch with my parents, their friends, my girlfriend, her sister and some of my mates at my place today in Adelaide. We had a BBQ and it was fucking cold, which is weird for a Aussie Christmas. My parents bought me an electric shaver (no more individual razors and my friends got me two 8-packs of 'Highlander' Scotch and Whiskey cans. I bought my girlfriend a ring - which she seems to like, although when I gave it to her she thought it was an engagement ring which nearly gave me a heart-attack because I have no intention of getting married for a long, long time. From her I got a silver JAG watch which seems pretty awesome. We didn't want to spend too much money on each other due to the fact that were trying to save as much rent money as possible for when we move into a flat together back in Sydney hopefully mid-year 07 or whenever we get a decent amount of cash. Who's next? P.S. Go Australia tomorrow in the boxing day test. Woooo.

I got a bunch of replacement CDs for the ones that "came up missing" from my move a few weeks ago. I also got a few games for the same reason. Other than that I got clothes which is what I needed, and also the most badass pair of boots that you'll ever see. Especially when they crash into the side of your head.

I finally got a new motherboard, one I was going to buy for myself but I was stopped and told I should wait for Christmas. With the expense of that, I didnt get much else aside from the new Sonic game for the 360, which Im told is bad, but whatever. Then little things...socks, chocolate, little bits of money here and there. It's all good!

I received a purse and matching wallet, a black sweater jacket, a couple board games, slippers, and little stuff like shampoo that I needed for school. My parents also gave my brother and me Guitar Hero II. Imagine how surprised we were. My brother's birthday was also yesterday...let's just say there was alot to do with the Green Bay Packers. His birthday cake was even shaped like a football field with a Bret Favre bobble head....which I found to be cute.

Our Christmas' are normally small in family which doesn't bother me too much. Things I got for christmas are.
1) Final Fantasy III for my Nintendo DS w/ strategy guide.
2) Thousand Foot Krutch - Set It Off.
3) A dishes set from my sister, it's a pretty nice one too.
4) $150 between my folks and Grandma.
5) ... and a really nice picture of me and my sister in a frame.
All in all a petty decent christmas.

Stocking: - 3-pack chapstick - brown sugar hand soap - body wash - deodorant - toothbrush - 128 pack of efferdent (I have retainers) - $10 Subway gift card - speakers for my MP3 player
Note: We usually get one big present and a bunch of little gifts in our stockings.
Presents: - Mortal Kombat - Bulletproof (now I have every Adam Sandler movie) - X-Men 1 and 2 - Super Troopers - Dream Theater - Images And Words - Dream Theater Live DVD - 2 pairs of pajama pants - pair of blue jeans - 20 pound dumbell (I already had one for sit-ups, but now I'm bigger and need two for simultaneous curls) - 14-pack of blank videotapes to record my wrestling! - December issue of WWE magazine - $30 Amazon gift card - South Park - Season 8
As you can tell, I'm huge on television. Woke up at 8 in the morning and opened stocking gifts. Went down to get my grandparents (we're next door neighbors) and had a big family breakfast. We opened the rest of the presents under our tree and went down to their place to open more presents! We watched the Eagles decimate the Cowboys while we ate dinner and came back at about 7:00 P.M. to discover that 4W is back! So overall it's been a hell of a day. Hope everyone else has had as good a time as me!

Hope everyone else has had as good a time as me! Well, 4w is still not working for me so either it came back to live and suddenly died again or or KG is full of crap. The second 4w is back online I want to be informed. I don't want to spend another second in his hell hole if I don't have to.

The Filipina Peso is less than almost everything, but everything over there is so incredibly cheap it doesnt seem like it. They get meals for like P100, about £1.
