I got;
Assassin's Creed 3
Resident Evil 6
Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks (soft cover)
World War Z by Max Brooks (soft cover)
Lego Lord of the rings set containing frodo and Gandalf with a horse and cart.
Bayonetta collectors figure.
A Dahl manufacturers t-shit (but was too small,my friend has ordered another one and is re-using the gift on someone else)
about £300 from parents and relatives.
and finally my Granddad is paying for all the driving lessons that my sister and myself will be needing until we pass. neither my parents or ourselves can afford to the lesson fees so this was awesome, though he could have made his speech not sound like he had a terminal illness with all the "i can't take the money with me" lines he threw in.

I mostly got clothes. And I feel like this picture accurately describes how I feel about that.
(I'm Dobby if you didn't guess that already!)
My sister also gave me this.
And I'm completely convinced that's Matt Smith in bunny form. Just look at that bow tie and fez!
(My sister doesn't even know what Doctor Who is!)

My grandpa gave everyone in his family a book containing his memoirs.
As it turns out, unfortunately, he was a high-powered businessman in the 60s, and "Mad Men" is pretty much a spot-on depiction of all the sex and drinking that goes along with that. So yeah, grandpa goes on and on about how much he loved having sex with grandma as they explored the nude beaches of the world, liberally using the word "eroticism". Apparently, my cousin's boyfriend (who had the harrowing job of editing it) had to cut out several passages containing gems like the realization that most of the women he met in Kenya were prostitutes who were only interested in his genitals.

I Am America (and So Can You!), the first four books in The Dresden Files, a set of DVDs including Fight Club, the Rum Diary, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Jeeves and Wooster: The Complete Series, about eighty bucks from various relatives, and an astonishing array of blankets.
Overall, not a bad haul.

Nothing, because we don't celebrate Christmas as much here. I did get the Avatar dvd collection for Sinterklaas, which I'm really happy with. Pro tip for getting family members into a tv series: just start watching it in the living room. Eventually they'll want to see what's going on, and you have another person watching.
I got:
Money for a new laptop
A pair of MMA gloves.
A mouthguard
An electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi.
Mogworld
A nice mug
A nice pen.

I got a lot this year and I wasn't expecting to. There are probably a couple of other little things I've forgotten to list.

Got me a Crye Precision Jumpable Plate Carrier, or I would have if the lead time on the damn thing wasn't over a year long. So technically, all I have is a piece of paper saying that I've paid for it.
I blame all those damn airsofters clogging up order lists so they can play pretend with their Gucci gear when other people actually need this shit in a timely fashion.

I was going to go see the Transiberian Orchestra with my family and friends but then I broke my Xbox and got a new one, still had a good time playing Dragon Age 2, Forza, and Max Payne with my dad.
LEGO, money, a Wii U, some vinyl figures, a couple of books, and a swimming pool. T'was a good haul this year.
