I got a few DVDs: Airplane!, The Emperor's New Groove, and Serenity. We have to take Serenity back, since my dad got it in fullscreen by accident. I also got a new CD player, which I didn't need. It's the thought that counts, though. My mom got me a fire extinguisher...
Very small haul this year: Sketching book, set of sketching pencils and a dvd of one of my favorite comedians.

Some shirts, money, cologne, and an XM Satellite Radio kit. I had a wierd dream Christmas eve that I got a PSX system (the special PS2 with extra features), since what I plan on buying for myself is a PS2.
I made out pretty well this year: Nintendo 64DD (no games yet) Famicom Disk system (+6 games) I also had an Atari Jaguar boxed come in on the 24th with 9 boxed games and later that day found an APF TV Fun! (pong clone) at a local chain.
Yeah, disappointing but I wanted the blue box version instead of the randnet package so it was a little cheaper with nothing but the system and box.
Yeah I had to really keep on top of ebay. I finally searched one time and it had just been listed about an hour before with a cheap buy it now. At one point I think I was searching multiple times a day.
My christmas was devoid of games, unfortunately -_- I got an i-mode phone, some clothes and junk, a Jeremy Clarkson DVD ^_^, Franz Ferdinand's latest album, and most importantly - a big Toblerone!
Jeremy Clarkson rules! I can't stop watching Top Gear episodes i downloaded. He's always making fun of Richard "Hamster" Hammond. Some of the episodes i got show the "buy a working car for less than 100pounds" and the one that he interviews Simon Cowell
Yes, at least where I live, because "Japanese people don't sweat as much as foreigners," as they always are happy to tell me. They haven't smelled their adolescent boys, then. You can buy roll-on deodorant, and even some type that has anti-perspirant in it, but your pits really just end up smelling like alcohol for a few hours, then you need some more. I've gotten used to the western anti-perspirant stick, and it's what I swear by. Smells good all day, and sweat never shows up on my white shirts. Besides, since you can't get the western stuff in Japan, it's a new smell to them. I have had 2 girls ask me what kind of cologne I wore, because it smelled so good. They called it "Chris' smell". Better than smelling like butter, eh?
Update: Serenity is awesome and I encourage all of you to buy it. I also bought Depeche Mode's "Devotional" DVD yesterday.
Is it one of those small safes? I mean what's the point in putting your prized posessions in them if I can just break in, pick it up and take it with me, where I'll eventually break into it. Future christmas gifts... -A $1600 custom built laptop for college. -PSTwo -Get the windows to my car tinted.
