What did you get for Christmas?

[not_you]

I got a 2 record collectors set of "Lateralus" by Tool (SHALL NEVER BE PLAYED)

And a deck of cards made of 99.9% 24 carat gold... (WHICH SHALL ALSO NEVER BE PLAYED [WITH])

Along with a new head-unit for my car and a nerf gun...

I guess Christmas 2013 is one that will turn me into (more) of a collector....

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

A few clothes and a shaver. This is my second year of not particularly getting much from people for Christmas and actually I'm beginning not to care now that I realise once you have a job you don't have to rely on freak events and good will to get things you want.

 

[TristanBelmont]

That fancy Zelda 3DSXL, Red vs. Blue Ten-Year boxed set on DVD, the first five A Song of Ice and Fire books, The Elder Scrolls Anthology, Blacklist, Saints Row IV, and The Dark Knight Trilogy ultimate collector's edition.

 

[DOOM GUY]

32" LED TV
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F
$70
Socks
T-Shirts (Wolverine, Batman, Spiderman)

 

[solemnwar]

I got a bunch of manga and books. Some gift cards and nummies. A cute shirt and some bloomers.

Some specifics:

Lucian's True History
Bede's Ecclesiastical History
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles

IS MY HISTORY NERD SHOWING YET?!

 

[ShinyCharizard]

Pretty much just clothes, money and gift vouchers for my local game store.

 

[Idlemessiah]

I got a bunch of books about LEGO and Minecraft as well as a repair and maintenance guide for cyclists. Brick by Brick is turning out to be a damn good read btw.

I also got some nice smells, a cute TY plush of The Hulk and a POP! figure of Jon Snow (he knows nothing), a big pile of chocolate, some beer and 5 bottles of rum.

Just before Christmas I bought myself a 50" plasma tv and The Avengers blu-ray box set. I'm in the process of sifting through Steam for some hot, tasty deals and come the January sales I'll be spending my Christmas money on a project computer.

I think I've done well this year.

 

[BoredAussieGamer]

A Donkey Kong hat that is the same style as Jayne's hat
A PS3 with TLOU, GoW3, Resistance 3, and the GOTY edition of Red Dead Redemption
A neat little chemistry thing that turns foods/spices into different forms (garlic foam for example)
And the most important piece of survival for practicing Krav Maga, a groin guard.

Christmas was good this year.

 

[Drummodino]

Christmas was pretty good to me this year. I got a lot of boring but useful things like underwear, sheets and bathroom supplies - which being a 20 year old male living away from home I really appreciate xD.

I also got a crap ton of chocolate which is making my desire to eat healthier difficult.

The big present I got from my parents was...

Spoiler

A 3DS XL with Pokemon X and Fire Emblem: Awakening!!! Now I can play all those delicious JRPGs I've been missing out on.

I also got a portable Bluetooth speaker which is pretty cool. Surprisingly decent sound quality considering it's size.

 

[Yuno Gasai]

I got a surprisingly good haul this year (though I was expecting nothing):

£40 worth of Amazon vouchers
£50 in cheques
A retro radio box tin filled with grooming stuff
Some new clothes
A lot of new underwear
A new bag
An address book
A box of Belgian chocolate truffles
A Cadbury's selection box

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

I got Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Batman Arkham Origins and Saint's Row 4.

 

[Alrom]

From my family I got some clothes and a pair of shoes.

But there was a collaboration with me, my father and some friends to get me a 3ds XL imported from the US since where I live the bloody thing costs a fortune.

 

[Fijiman]

OT: Thanks OP for this thread!!

No problem.

 

[Diddy_Mao]

Christmas was pretty much just my girlfriend and myself this year, which is better than it may sound.

I bought her a new Laptop a copy of Despicable Me 2, a little key fob 4gig USB stick and a Transformers Prime Shockwave fig for her growing collection of Shockwaves.

I was given a couple of 2-tone red and black Dickies work shirts, a handful of copic markers, a new sketchbook, a copy of "This book is full of spiders" and copies of Manga Studio EX5 and Anime Studio 6.

Having a lot of fun with those last two. Been a while since I've used any Illustration software and I'm a bit rusty.

Other than that, she and I watch a ton of movies so we just kinda raided the DVD/BluRay isle and bought ourselves copies of:

Muppet Treasure Island
Evil Dead (2013)
Dark Knight Rises
Prometheus
and
Wreck-It Ralph

 

[Lucifiel]

Yosh... got quite a lot this year:

- 3DS XL Black and Blue with Pokemon X (and no charger so I will have to wait until after New Year's to order myself one so I can properly play)
- silver earrings
- a sort of a hoodie
- a winter/autumn dress
- a set of earrings and pendant
- a brick game with about 99 games on it XD (oh, the nostalgia) -> I am owning tetris! XD

I got all this from others. I haven't bought anything noteworthy for myself, unlike last year, when I got a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (hurrah for 13th salary).

Two posters: Marvel and Minecraft

I mainly got money from relatives, since I intend to purchase a car fairly soon, but I also received:

Bioshock Infinite
The Orange Box
A baby lobster 'adoption' including a plush lobster
Another plush lobster (guess what my favourite animal is?)
A washbag emblazoned with the British flag
Underwear and hankerchiefs, which I was low on
Lots of chocolate and shampoo

Not a bad haul, overall

Christmas with my family (20+ people) is kinda insane.

All things considered I'm still not sure how the hell I ended up with 2 next-gen consoles and a carbine... That's just way above and beyond all reason IMO.

 

[EeveeElectro]

A jar filled with 5 bags of Skittles and lip balm from my boyfriends sister. I pretty much screamed when I saw it, it's the best gift I've ever had!
A DS with FireRed and Zelda: Minish Cap(?) in a spongebob case, a Flareon, Snorlax an Vaporeon teddy. A Hello Kitty selection box, a Hello Kitty mug, a box of Quality Street, a cat diary off my boyfriend.
Some earmuffs, toe socks and smellies and perfume from bfs mum.
Adopt a Cat gift off bfs dad which was a very thoughtful gift.
A photoframe and £10 from bfs grandma (which is more than my own grandma has given me in my whole life... -.-)

A dressing gown, perfume and a cat calender from mum.
Awaiting brothers present.
My sister got me loads, I was nearly bowled over. She got me Nightmare before Christmas earrings, two lots of perfume, a Nivea set, a Vaseline lip care set, a TARDIS bath bombs and two little Daleks.
Lip balm from neighbour (seriously, so much lip balm this year!)

That's like the best haul I've had for years. Probably because this year I've got a boyfriend who actually cares about me and so do his family

 

[sextus the crazy]

I got some Anime DVDs (FMA: brotherhood & Trigun), some manga (Berserk V.1 & 2, Vinland saga 1), some music (Dark Moor, Tool, and the TWEWY soundtrack), and some books (One about the Korean War and One about CIA involvement in the Middle East), Some Pins for my fedora, and this:
