Reading through everybody's Christmas list makes me feel poor. Do people get that much stuff for Christmas?
Well I've had everything bought for me for Christmas; when it comes to Birthdays and Christmas I will buy all the stuff I want and be reimbursed later.
This year my list is:
Nokia Lumia 625
8 pieces of clothing (2 Jeans, shoes, 2 shirts, 2 jackets and a blazer)
Dune (book)
Terraria (PS Vita)
Bravely Default (3DS)
Tearaway (PS Vita)
Batman Origins (PC)
Assassin's Creed IV (PC)
PS Vita Memory Card
The total is about £450, and then my mum always buys a few surprises.
In case you didn't realise, Christmas is a massive deal in my house.

I wanted a new tuba mouthpiece, because I think my tone would be better than the one I'm currently using.
A mechanical keyboard, because my current keyboard (an Alienware one) is breaking down. Strangest freaking thing ever, I can't type out a capital p. If I ever want a capital p, I can't do Shift+P, it straight up doesn't work, but the keyboard is fine with doing Caps Lock or a plain lowercase p.
A better mouse, because I'm still using a default 400dpi one.
And that's pretty much it. I have other stupid stuff to pad out the list, like a key lanyard or gift cards, but nothing I really want that much.

A job.
Hahahahahahaha, Nah I say that to everyone who asks lately.
I wouldn't mind a better microphone, like one with a pop filter and everything.
Also a place to live.
Hahahahaha, I did it again!
I don't really know what else I want, within reasonable limits. To be honest I want most things I see just out of impulse.
Now I usually get one "Big" present, which can be pretty expensive (I said I wouldnt mind a new laptop this year, but I'm doubtful I'll get one that big), and then loads of tiny ones like cheap sweaters and fluffy socks, etc.

I know how you feel, though when I was a kid it was pretty insane for me too.Johnny Novgorod said:

I think the only present that I can think of right now are some new headphones since my cat completely destroyed my old ones (they do that, don't they?) but I think I'll just buy them for myself.I don't care much for Christmas but I do like giving presents.
Xbox One & Dead Rising 3
Killzone Shadowfall
RWBY stuff
And basically stuff for my college dorm. It was all Doctor Who stuff.

Nothing. If I really want something I'll spend my own money on it. What I most enjoy about Xmas is food, drink, and good company. Not stuff.
I actually kinda think it's absurd how much people spend on Xmas. But hey, each to their own, I guess.Johnny Novgorod said:
Its pretty normal for kids to get that much stuff for Christmas.Johnny Novgorod said:
Adults....not so much. Generally you will spend more than you get. Ill probably get like $150 dollars worth of stuff and spend about 200-250 on gifts.
Couple gift giving can get pretty obscene. My stepfather usually gets like 400-600 dollars worth of gifts to my mom, and my friends will get their girlfriends ~500 dollar gifts.
I'd REALLY like a decent gaming rig to statisfy my EUIV/Shogun 2 TW urges but yeah, I think that I'll just settle with AssCreed 4 this year.
Just money in an envelope or card. That way I can buy what I want with no risk of a dud-gift. It's the most practical.
I'd like a PS3 to catch up on the exclusives I missed out on. I've been an Xbox guy for about 7 years now, and I've played all of our exclusives.
I'm particularly interested in The Last of Us, but Beyond Two Souls is on my radar after watching the Best Friends Play.

Hmmm. It's not a gift I'm overly excited for, but for the sake of combining devices and having something with more versatility with my 5th gen iPod Touch, a Nexus 5.
I'd have no idea what I'd get otherwise, and it'll be good for emulating and stuff, and LTE is a nice thing...
The real problem is what we're going to get my little brother. He's 12 (13 on boxing day) and he's difficult to buy for. I honestly think he'd be content with nothing this year. It concerns me.
It feels weird even to talk as if £150 isn't a lot of money.

I feel ya, bro. I'm paying for half of the price of my one Christmas gift, which is £300 in total.Johnny Novgorod said:
