What Did You Give / Receive for Christmas?: 2010 Edition

Post by Lazario »

So... what about you?

I bought my brother a Final Fantasy X game for Playstation and a Strategy Guide for X-2. Got a stuffed donkey that looks a little like Eeyore for my mother, the last 4 seasons of The Waltons as mentioned, 2 seasons of JAG for my father, some marshmallow-chocolate Santas for my mother, and I made a CD for my brother that he really wanted with just one song on it - John Denver and the Muppets' "The Peace Carol." Then, I went flat broke. But, when the fam go to start returning things, I'm going to get my brother the 3rd "Season" collection of this show called Bleach. Never seen it but he wants the 3rd collection.

Unfortunately, due to not having a job I couldn't afford presents this year except for the UD Secret Santa. I sent atlanticaunderthesea the Tangled Art of Book and a Mickey Christmas card. For my friends around the States I sent cards, including a favorite internet personality of mine (well two actually, and one I am very happy to call a great friend :D).

As for receiving, nothing has come my way from the UD Secret Santa. I admit I am anxious but I will not lose it like last year as it will likely arrive just a few days late. I have, however, received two Christmas cards from great friends of mine, one a family photo, the other a lovely Christmas card.

My stuff will come in Christmas. I asked for a BUNCH of stuff, and just told them to get me whatever you can afford. This was the first year I just gave people my wish list rather than just something specific so it will be a nice surprise as to what I get this year. Will post that when I can.

I was only able to buy one gift, which was a Dove wash set for my mom.

I won't be opening any presents until Christmas morning, so I'll update this thread as soon as that happens.

A couple early ones I got myself:
Back in May I ordered "With Glowing Hearts: The Official Commemorative Book of the XXI Olympic Winter Games and the X Paralympic Winter Games" - great book covering our Vancouver games.
And...
A week and a half ago, I got myself a new computer from Costco.

Not sure what else I'm getting today.
