How were your holidays? So what did you get? From who? And what did you get for who?
All was well for me. A couple of relatives came over, we played Guitar Hero for hours until it was midnight and then we opened our presents.
Here is a few things I got.
iPod Touch and $65 iTunes money, from my mom and dad.
Rebuild of Evangelion 1.01 from my mom.
An ACDC jacket from my mom.
My uncle sent me Wolfenstein for the 360.
I feel bad because I wasn't able to get them anything. Next year I'll work extra hard to earn enough money to get what they want.
I got sick on Xmas day but I made the most of it.
ironically I spent the day alone, but nerding out and swearing at random n00bs and L33t players online via the following games:
Modern Warefare 2 - already getting war flashbacks in my sleep. :-[
Borderlands - fighting Scags [mutant dogs] and other twisted mutants
Left for Dead 2 - good ol fashion zombie apocalypse
1 vs 100 - bragging rights for those who know WAY too much trivia
Sonic's Ultimate Game collection - because playing old school games = ftw. :D
Blu ray trilogy of Resident Evil on Blu-Ray despite my ps3 being out on loan. :P
Lots of money... that im going to spend on bills :-X
The holiday itself was grand. Went out to lunch with family on Christmas Eve (Sushi...yum). Went to a good friends house for Christmas dinner (Ham...yum) and movies (Inglorious Bastards...fun).
What I got
Season of House - Friend
Ornament - Friend
Pajamas - Friend
Cat toys and food bowl - Friend
DeathNote book - Sister
Wii Fit Plus - Sister
Nintendo DSI & My Japanese Coach - Sister
What I gave
Pajamas, blankets, MMO Gaming Mouse, Clothes, Jewelry and toys to various people.
To be honest, my family and I didn't spend our Christmas yet... Due to work and other stuff. So, this week we'll be spending it. ;D
Since I didn't spend it with the family, I ended up spending it with friends and relatives.
Presents from relatives:
$20 PSN card - niece <==> Got her Modern Warfare for the DS
Mario pajamas - nephew <==> Got him a Wario game for the Wii
Weather proof jacket - Aunt & Grandma <==> Helped them with dinner

Presents from friends:
Nothing, just being with them is all I asked for.
We had a potluck instead. A few drinks here and there and among other things. :D

Possible presents from family:
Shirt and shorts - mom and dad
Mom, my bro and I are giving her a DVD/VCR player
Dad, my bro and I are giving him a new cellphone
LittleBigPlanet - bro <==> Later on I'm going to buy him Dante's Inferno - PS3 and Bioshock 2 - Xbox 360
I'm paying for our Dinner and movie.
Mostly got money as a gift and bought my own stuff. I'd say this was an ok Festivus.
I forgot to mention that I also got $60 gift certificate at Claim Jumpers from my boss. My boss is the BEST.
