Nothing.

This year I get nothing.

I get nothing from my parents (they are broke), I get nothing from my GF (who is also broke), I don't get to give anyone anything (since I'm broke as well) and my friends won't be giving me anything (you guessed it, broke).

I get to sit at home and write a paper for college in vague hopes of graduating, getting a job and not having Christmas be a shitty time of the year for me.

Also, I don't get to celebrate New Year with my friends, since they are all going out of town together, but I'm so broke I can't afford to come along.

Also, I'd like to add that the exact same thing happened last year (no gifts, no new year party).

At least you got something...

While not christmas gifts I got a book on the joys of maths year before last for my birthday.

And then volume II for my last birthday as well.

>_<

I still faked gratitude but now thinking back if I hadn't been so good at it maybe I would've gotten a good gift for my last birthday.

I've been pretty happy with all my presents I've gotten so far (they actually are really nice, like an iPod and a new gaming ready PC) but the one time I would utter a sentence like that is if someone tried to pull something like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKwCQWjTyI0&feature=related] on me.

The one present I liked less than all the rest though, would have to be my first PC. I got to pick which one, but it was refurbished, and it was waaaaayyy back in '05 or something and I had a budget of $650. My dad's current laptop is more powerful than it (Radeon HD Mobility and a quad core D:)
It was okay after I became less of a tech noob and upgraded it with a brand spankin new GPU, but I still kick myself for being such an idiot that day and not just building one.
Everyone has to start somewhere I guess...
Wow. Just...wow.

You know what I usually get as presents? Fucking socks, once a deodorant, shit like that.

The most value I'd set on any of the presents I've gotten in the last few years is the 500 EEK ($42) I get from a family member every Christmas, everything else can be valued at about 100 EEK (~$8) at best.

I get it that you said "liked less", not "hated", but god damn. It makes me mildly pissed, and very sad at my current life. Bloody Christmas.

But hey, at least I get to eat shit...

tl;dr: I hate every one of my Christmas presents.

I once got a set of sports balls that were all deflated. Course the fact that I didn't have a yard or anything to use them in really made them pointless.

For the first 15 years I was alive, my aunt always gave me these really terrible science books. Rather than money or say, a novel or videogame, she believed that she had to educate me with whatever gifts she gave. They were all terribly, TERRIBLY banal. T_T

I once got 4 copies of the same book, (that I alredy owned!)...

2 of those copies were from the same person...

I was more flabbergasted than disappointed...

Well I would never be ungrateful enough to talk bad about getting a free gift, but there was one time my grandparents got me a book about space which wasn't bad (I didn't read, but it wasn't a bad gift) but then the next year I got the same exact book from the same exact grandparents. I just said, "um... thanks but I think I actually have this book already" so I gave it to my friend (he didn't read it either)

I rarely get any gifts to begin with, count yourselves lucky you even get people that care that much.
