My family had our Christmas this evening. I don't know why. We're having family portraits tomorrow evening after they get off work, and my mom's family's Christmas on Friday after they get off work. They are working X-Mas day (both work at the same casino), but I guess Saturday night is off limits for them.

Anyway, I got the following so far:

-A new leather wallet (my old one was in shambles)
-Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Full screen....euch....I convinced my mom to trade it in for widescreen)
-Aladdin (Special Edition DVD)
-Godzilla (wtf. My borhter just grabbed something out of the bargin bin)
-The Alchemist (my mom 'read' it (on CD) and loved it, and she thought I would like it apparently)
-The Complete Hitch Hikers Guide: Complete and Unabridged (my sister knows me too well)
-MP3 player

I was hoping for either Star Wars or ROTK:EE, but Aladdin and POA are good. Definitely things for which I was asking. I ended up giving my mom the same book she gave my sister. At that, they opened it at the same time...

How is everyone's non denomonational holiday season gifts?

EDIT: A game my friend's and I played tonight:

Just list everything you got for the holidays. Whoeevr has the most stuff when all is said and done 'wins' the greed game. It's generally pointless and stupid, with little coherency, but I guess it passes the time.

Couldn't tell you!

Still a few days off yet.

Hope you had fun and enjoy your gifts. This is one xmas where I haven't asked for anything, and have NO idea what I am getting.

my mom bought us (my dad, brother and me) a 42' Flat Screen Tv for christmas

i think thats the only thing ill be getting this year, and it doesnt bother me at all, that tv is awsome!!

When you say "Us" you mean she bought the household a new set, correct? I dont know about your dad but if it was me I wouldnt let anyone touch it. LOL

yes is for the entire family, its in the living room

my dad is not like that, his pretty cool!

Dam man,

A 42 inch flat screen. I think you win the best present award. I know a few movies I would like to watch on that beauty.

And Unknown ... welcome ... your first post! How long will you remain ... unknown .

KJ

hehe!, the first movie i watch on that tv was Finding Nemo! it looked beautiful!!

BTW, unknown, didnt notice it was your first post, WELCOME i hope you have a lot of fun here

Thanks to both of you.

I suspect Nemo would have looked kick ass on a set like that. I kicked around the thought of buying a plasma set but the price is still to high for the size I would want. I have a 55" widescreen now. Theres no place to go but up in size and the 60" are just to much..... I wouldnt mind getting a LCD projector or something of the sort down the line...

So far I have gotten the following

a blanket that has blanket writtenin binary all over it.



Some earrings


I am goign to my boyfriend's parents house for Christmas, they usually get me crap.

My boyfriendis helping me buy a car for Christmas, so that is my present from him...a used car.

I got nothing. I'll get nothing.

maybe dolce will get you something at the next movie night :wink:

Oh now I'm on the spot. bABA...I saw this gorgeous retro dress and matching heels down the street. The set would look fabulous flappers 20's on you. What size are you? :wink:

Everyone has massive tv sets now huh? $10 says I can use my magical powers of divination to predict who's first to get an entire home theatre. :wink:

I haven't got anything yet...oh wait, we did get these crappy sweatshirts from work. Like I'm going to wear it anywhere but there. Yea... anyway I have no idea what I'm going to get. Lauren's keeping it a secret (Which I guess it should be) and I wont know what my parents got me until I visit them. I'm sure glad I got my Christmas, err... Chrismahanakwanzakuh shopping done Monday because I couldn't get out of the snow today. We were closed at work. McD's, closed. Something that doesn't happen often, and it's happening twice this week, lol!

4MP Digital Camera
The Ultimate Scream Collection
The Simpsons: Season 5

Plus $250 bucks, and a few other surprises I can expect from relatives on my vacation. :wink:

I have not gotten anything yet, I dont think I will be getting much of anything this year

now that is just 8)

Today I got a new shower, yes i am sure this sounds boring to y'all but we moved into a new house that my boyfriend bought earlier this yearand the bathroom drives me nuts..their is ahuge window in teh shower, and get this wallpaper! On top of that we don't have a real shower head, we have one of those that you have to hodl yourself...i HATE it. Its going buh bye and I could not be happier.

The house was kind of expensive since its in one fo the msot expensive neighborhoods to live in when in RI. Its a three floor two family, and went the two floor townhouse to some dumb (but hot) dental hygenie students.

Everyone akes a big deal out of my boyfriend buy ing a house at 24, and an expensive one at that.

I hate christmas and you all have become pawns of the corporations.

I urinate all over your gifts, your wonderful Christmas meals, your family, your traditions and your beliefs.

Meh. :x

no wonder my new sweater smells funky.

I hate the holidays and all but honestly.

Dear god I wish this forum had the ignore button...

- Shaun of the Dead
- A 50 dollar gift certificate at the movie theater here, so I can go to the movies alllllllll I want.
- A DVD rack
- A pair of earrings
- A couple of sweaters from my grandma
- A white miniskirt with attached rainbow belt from my sister. Hot.

And my favorite presents...

- Nintendo DS
- Super Mario 64 DS

The touch screen is freaking genius, I swear. Been playing it for about an hour now. Controls took a bit of getting use to, but now I know what all to do and it's just perfect. Thank you God... I mean Nintendo.

or the
talk to the hand smiley

:wink:

You know, not to spoil the moment Ripper and all for you, really I don't mean to, but as a general good piece of advice for your you and your boyfriend: Don't buy a house together until your married to one another.. If you buy a house together right now and your not married?? What happens if something happens between the 2 of you and you both split up and your both stuck making mortgage payments on the thing cause your names are attached to the deed when your not married?? Just a thought cause I'd hate to see down the road a thread about how you or your boyfriend were screwed and stuck making payments on something when your not even together.. Ouch..

Well, I'll pray for you this Christmas and hope your attitude improves greatly over the piss poor, Ebeneezer Scrooge one you've currently adopted over it..
