My friends gave me a set of glasses with random things that remind them of me drawn on them.
One of their fathers gave me a midget christmas tree because I don't have one at my place.
And I gave myself the gift of not being a vegan for one day so I can eat these Samoas I found in the freezer at my parents place because they're the best girl scout cookies ever fuck you.

I got a little booklet educating me about Sex, Aids and stuff.
There's a chapter page titled "Hard facts" and I was disappointed to not see hard cocks there. Next page was "Gay?". It was cute.
And some other stuff too. But that's not important because It's mostly just normal stuff.

Stomach ache. Eat too much probably. But cheese is always worth of it.
And Finnish music. Crazy. Not metal though. I can spend 10 euros to music too now, should probably consider what I will buy now.
Imma include my birthday in this 'cause they're so close together:
The White Ribbon - A world war era flick
A new violin - Totally awesome
The Divine Comedy - Pretty Neat
Doctor Who - Second Season - Pretty rad
A Rat Pack CD - Wicked cool
Soap - It's... well, it's soap.
And I've been promised a laptop, too!
(And it's not over, as we're exchanging Secret Santa gifts with the cousins, and again at home with me grandmum.

Batman AND dinosaur coloring books-I can't wait to bust out some crayolas and rainbowfy these bad boys.
A seven dollar gift certificate for Southwest airlines- This makes me wish i had somewhere to go.
A toy saxophone filled with hummus- Wish I had known about the hummus before I blew into it.
A No More Heroes 2 case with a disk shaped piece of coal inside- I don't think Santa was too happy with my plotting to vanquish him.
All in all, a pretty good haul.

The main thing I got was that Mario Anniversary Wii, but that was an early gift.
Stuff I got today:
A giant box of Axe products. OH MAN HYGIENE.
An 8 GB memory stick for my PSP, double the size of my last one.
Clothes. There is no such thing as a Christmas without clothes for my family.
$25. It's money, not much to say.
$10 Subway gift card. Free lunch!
Binoculars. I have no idea why I got these.
Some paintball game for the Wii. Comes with a gun-case-thing in which you are repeatedly told on the box to not to show around in public because it might be against the law. MIGHT.
The Force Unleashed for the Wii. Might as well dump the PS3 version off my Gamefly Queue.
The best gift today was a lightsaber casing for my Wii remote. I will use this for every game I need to swing the remote around like a sword. EVERY GAME.

A valuable lesson that telling your supervisors children that they should form a union and go on strike to gain an allowance fo rtheir chores is probably not the best idea.
An mp3 player that can supposedly play movies, too. An external hard drive that holds nearly three times as much as my actual computer. CANDY. Headphones. I'm happy with this.

-Two sweaters
-Three video games (Enslaved, Fable 3, The Sly Collection)

Man, I really feel spoiled this year:
32" LED tv for my apartment
23" LED monitor for my desktop
Clothes (because there's always clothes)
I was NOT expecting that monitor. I thought I was only getting the tv. That makes me quite the happy camper.
But most importantly, Merry Christmas everybody!

Besides the obvious (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?p=1096506#post1096506)?
I have to think about it a bit, because these days I get a lot of little presents scattered throughout the month.
I bought myself Bob Dylan's The Witmark Demos: The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 and MGMT's Oracular Spectacular, both of which are pretty awesome. Oh yeah, and I also picked up Arcade Fire's The Suburbs because I saw it cheap and said why the hell not? (It's not bad, actually.)
I got Robin Hood: Men In Tights and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (that's the good one, where Wonka doesn't have daddy issues) on DVD.
I also got the first season of Community just today. It's streets ahead.
I got a fifty-dollar gift card from my grandparents (although since it's an Amazon.com gift card, it's just as much from my mother as from them), and in the wee hours of Christmas Day I placed a nice huge order. I ordered copies of two books Bob Dylan wrote, Chronicles Vol. 1 (for $0.03!) and Tarantula; a copy of The Flaming Lips And Stardeath And White Dwarfs With Henry Rollins And Peaches Doing Dark Side Of The Moon (yes, that is its title); and cheap copies of Bob Dylan's Street Legal, New Morning, and Planet Waves.
Alright, so since I had a bit if a shindig back east, couldn't celebrate it with all the family. Now that I have, I've also received:
Hand knitted blanket
Apocalyptico
How I Met Your Mother first season
The Unbearable Lightness Of Being
The Massey Lectures
A Book Of Poetry
A new HP laptop
A nice scarf
And I also bought myself in Toronto two two-disc PSX games - Final Fantasy III through VI and Chrono Trigger.

A bible with side-by-side English and Japanese translations.
Now this is just straight up blasphemy. We all know that God's tongue is Stuart English and to translate that into the forked tongue of the godless heathens is simply outrageous.

I got some slippers that protect my feet from the harsh Canadian winters.
Also, a Kindle.
It is like a miracle. A miracle that has words on it. Specifically, so far, the words of the novel Middlesex. Great read.
