Christmas Loot

[ItalianPenguin]

Well my list is much smaller than that, but I'll post what I bought

Mom:
Def Leppard Greatest Hits
Gift card to the Yankee Candle Store(she LOVES candles)
Then my bro, dad, and myself all went and bought jewelry for her also.

Dad:
We have no idea what to get him, he already has EVERYTHING. This will be a last minute thing of course

Bro:
We agreed not to buy each other anything because my brother has no money. He blew it all on stuff for his car.

GF:
80 gig video ipod

Of course I'll post what I got after x-mas.

Edit: How in the FACK did I end up posting before you????

I'm assuming your family doesn't frequent the forum, right? Cause if they did...:uhh:

[NuclearDreams]

My wife thinks that to get the pointer to move she has to hold the mouse with two hands and my kids are always glued to their school forums. So yeah, this forum is my own cave to hide in.

Speaking of HDTVs, my Dad got my Mom a flatscreen. Here is the weird thing though, the resolution is 1440x900. Thats a PC monitor resolution and sits between the standards for HD (720p and 1080i/p, this TV would be 900p in theory). Anyone ever seen a TV like that? :wtf:

[Wow Your Ugly]

Nice screen...you're more spoiled than my kids are. :p

I can't deny it. :p

EDIT: I'm only really spoiled at Christmas and Birthday time. I don't get an allowance or get paid for good grades/SAT scores. Plus, my parents make me pay for everything outside of food eaten at home. Therefore, I have a job and work 20+ hours a week.

[SiDeWiNdEr]

I work 45 Horus a week, and by the time I get paid each month I have -£8 in my bank. (roughly -16$), Great eh?

House Rent
Car Finance
Car Insurance
Gas, Electric, Water Bills
Council Tax
TV Licence
etc etc etc.

Hence the reason I could only spend £60 on my GF this year. >_<

Edit: I should go back to living with my parents and pay rent weekly, got spoiled there... House ain't big enough though!

[C4]

Woahh! I feel jealous for how spoiled most of u here are!:eek:
Well, i'm buying an house for myself (it's an hell of a task) and therefore every euro must count now so i must be extra rational.

Gave: Mother and Father: A DVD each based in their preferences.
GF: A book (we both love books) and an headset
GF sister: a book.
Myself: a new Basket ball and of course the house (can't think of a more expensive present...it'll take a life to pay it:dismay:)

Got: Mother and Father: €1000 to help the bureocracy expense on the house. (no words needed here...:color4: but in Portugal here this is a real amount of money. It was a great effort from them)
GF: A mythology anthology book (i've been blinking my eye to it long ago)
GF sister: a cartoon book (I just love these, particularly Fox Trot)
Myself: already above

I do have a friend or two to exchange presents with, so i'll have to be with'em to have those news.
I don't have children by now so i can save a lot,...luckly!:D

[Doh004]

It was a lighter Christmas, but no complaining here.

Got:
Rock Band
Assassin's Creed
Southpark Season 10
Gift cards to Olive Garden (at college, this restaurant is heaven)

Get a better life :p

[Camel]

:rockbrow:Me, or him??

:wave:I quite like my truck-driving job, and pay isn`t too bad either (never have to work on weekends is what I like most):cool:

[SiDeWiNdEr]

I quite like my life, Thank-yee very much :P

Perfect GF, Acceptable house to live in and a stupidly quick car to get annoying Beemer drivers off my ass on the motorways.

I do need a better job though, Quite poor pay for what I do, but what most of you forget is that living in the UK is far more expensive than most other countries in comparrison. Don't ask me why, I don't make up the rules and costs of everything. >: and again to the prices of petrol.
I have a 55Litre fuel tank and it costs £58 or so to fill it. Yaaaay Petrol!

Anyway, back on topic! I'm currently at my GFs mothers for a week so I received my gifts from her.

Unreal Tournament 3
Dara O'Briain Live at the Theate Royal
CellDweller:CellDweller album
Jelly Tots!
A rubber 'Punk' duck!
Other Various Sweets!
£50 to share of the GFs' nan.
