Out of curiosity what did you get/ give for xmas? Any knitted sweaters from grandma or pairs of socks? I only got one pair of novelty/cartoon character socks this year although the worst presents I received were; a Chicken Run car air freshener *laughs*, a set of juggling balls (I have 3 sets now and a small tin of Pringles among some other bits from my girlfriends parent's. Hey, it's not that I'm ungrateful but why must I get socks, underwear, box of chocolates, tacky children's gifts and juggling balls every year?! well, it gives me a laugh

Mum and Dad got me Time Crisis 3 /w G-con for my PS2 and my bro got me Vampire Night, so I expect much light gun gaming fun to follow. One of these days I'm hoping that one day I'll be given something that I think is amazing, which I didn't ask for

I'm still waiting to find out what my girlfriend's got me- usually it's clothing that doesn't fit, which is just as well since it saves me having to actually wear it Aww, I love her, she tries so hard! I bought her not one, but two new bags since the one she uses for college broke. They're cool Craig Morrison ones (cyber punk style with rubber spikes/pvc) so she should think they're aesthetically cool too- I do!

lol, you're one happy x-mas person Seems like you've had a good time (even if you are well on your way to have the biggest collection of juggling balls)

We don't really celebrate x-mas as such, we just had dinner with the family on the 25th (nothing on x-mas eve either), which is a good thing; I don't really like all the hassle (tho presents would be cool lol)

lol i'm sure it's the thought that counts, right?
I got (Bomu's probably gonna h8 me for this now...) DMC 2 from my younger brother + parents ( XDXD) and Red Hot Chilli Peppers 'By the Way' from my cousin.
I gave my dad Dido's new album, my brother a LOTR poster and (along with my cousin) my mum a book.

I got a new flatscreen monitor Well, some of it anyway... bit too expensive for my mum so I gotta pay some of it back. Still! I only got one set of tacky socks m'self, not to mention a few funky comics and a transformer (almost a given for me) Oh, and loads of sweets and chocs. Like I'm not big enough already.. ah well!
