Christmas 2006: Post what you got!

3 t-shirts, I of em fits great, other one is too small and the other one too big... oh and a shitty wallet.

 

nintendo power mints
a toothbrush
and a headache.

 

Abslolutley nothing for myself, my wife and I spent all of our money on our 9 month old son's first christams. He really is too young to understand, but it was fun to see him play with all his stuff for about 2 minutes and get bored and then start playing with the boxes it all came in.

 

I got
a small amount of sweets*A Giant Butter Finger and a chocolate M*
$100 CAD in cheques from different family members*gonna use to get ff XII and maybe another game if i can afford it*
A PS2*finally i own one.haha*
A PS2 Memory card
Some Tic-Tacs*cause they are tasty*
Some Lemon-sandelwood deoderent*smells nice*

overall a good haul i think

 

Mostly clothes but I did get the 2nd and 3rd season of The Wire which is an excellent show by the way. Some cash and the big one being my new Plasma TV which I bought myself.

 

$20 Best Buy Gift Card
2 Tool t-shirts
Custom Mario Picture(brother bought the Mario 3D puzzle, made it, and put it in a frame for me
Leather Guitar Strap
Peavey Guitar Amp
Pair of gloves and ear muffs

 

I can understand. My daughter is 2. The last 2 years were more like that this year was a blast. Since a Wii has not been in site and my local Target had a bunch of PS3's I bought the family a PS3 and ,for my daughter, I made sure we had the retro hotwheels mongoose and snake set, dad wanted the cars and always wanted to race them down the stairs using the classic hot wheels track. My wife wasn't sure who the bigger kid was today but we all had allot of fun.

 

Ok the things I got are:

(GBA)
Advance Wars
Summon Night: Swordcraft Story
Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 2
Yggdra Union

(GCN)
Chibi Robo
Geist
Battallion Wars

(DS)
Ds lite system, Onyx
Super Mario and Luigi Superstar saga: Partners in time
Advance Wars Dual Strike

And a $50 bond thing.

I'm getting some other stuff in the mail later, too.

My mom let me get a PSP about 2 weeks prior to xmas so I could hack it and put emulators and such on it. Then when I got it done a week later thought it was so cool she made me buy 2 more, 1 for my dad and 1 for my brother and mod theirs to lol.

So I myself got:


PSP with 2.71 SE-C

4GB Mem Stick Pro Duo

MegaMan Powered UP

Logitech Screen Gaurd

Logitech PlayGear Pocket

3 Burger King Games

2 Spindles of DVD-R's

2 Spindles of CD-R's

Some Tools

1 GIG Flash drive

Not to bad this year if I do say so myself

 

Wii
Zelda: Twilight Princess
One Wiimote
One Nunchuck
Two Classic Controllers
ViewSonic 2025wm 20.1" WS monitor (Freaking amazing, I might add)
Simpsons Seasons' 3-8

I got some money (which went straight to the bank) and I got myself a Wiimote and some used computer accessories from a friend. I also get to study for 2 huge exams and prepare one more essay, so I m going to spend my new year and holidays studying alone in the UK instead of being with my family. Thanks Santa for fucking it up.

 

The salvation that started with the birth of Christ!

 

Bows ray:

For me Shining Force III 2nd and 3rd scenario plus DOA :redface: Nothing much, maybe some bargain games for the new year :katamari:

 

A router, some Microsoft Points (for XBLA goodies) and Rainbow Six Vegas (360).

 

DBZ Budokai Tenchaichi 2 (Wii)
50 bucks
360 Dev Kit(I borrowed the money from my father to buy the dev kit,you can see the dev kit in the collection thread,but he told me the other day I dont have to pay him back.Oh yea;-)
This is the same kit,not a new one.

 

Pikkon, check your PMs for a question

 

iPod 4Gb (from the wife and kids)
Permission to purchase a 360 dev kit (negotiated carefully with wife)
Metallica "This monster lives", which is the book on the filming of...
Metallica "Some kind of monster" DVD

But mostly the day belongs to our 3 children, which is where the bulk of the family cash went! They had a great Christmas and that meant I did to.

 

So your getting a 360 dev kit Parris,nice.Is it a all white final kit with the sidecar.

 

Before it was a "family" holiday, it was a holiday where peasants rioted in the streets and rudely barged into rich people's houses, not unlike Halloween, and was condemned by most of the churches.

 

hmmm .... christmas is a word made out of two words Christ, and Mass. But in reality, in the pagan times, then the christians had to have a counterpart to yule, and saturnalia. So they thought "why not just copy theirs, and tell them it was christs birthday ? then we hit two flies with one swap ! ". So they did that. And lo and behold every body forgot magically, that christmas was in reality, the celebration of light. Since it was the birth of our saviour.

If you believe in Christ of course.
