Stuff to help with my move in a couple weeks, winter clothes to wear there, some candy, an alarm clock, a watch, and an electric razor. Nothing fancy, but pretty much all I wanted :)

A bag for carrying tools in (which is pretty much what I asked for), some Craftsman hand tools (a socket set, some wrenches and a multimeter,) and a couple of books. I don't really need stuff, so I usually don't ask for much. Earlier in the month I bought a Kindle Fire HD, but I don't really count that since I bought it mostly because I worked on the thing.

nothing ;_; . Though, I didn't ask for anything. Not too much can be done because there isn't money to spare. And I'm 22 already

Pretty good year for pressies actually

A book on suicide, published by Creation and with Peter Sotos listed among the contributors so you know it's going to be tasteless :D

Chocolate

Ghost In The Shell: SAC on DVD, just to give it another try (not too fond of the art style and the music sucks)

Booze

Shower stuff (getting old)

A Kinder egg with a motorbike in it

A book on media ethics, a book on videogame history (actually looks good), a book on all girl garage band

An Ibanez Powerlead pedal, which apparently sounds absolutely horrible in a feedback loop. IE AMAZING

A bunch of £££

Stupidly drunk. Feel great today though. Nice Xmas with my girlfriend and my tiny family. Hope everyone had a good day, aside from rampant materialism!

a ticket for the end-of-year lottery. :)

We've stopped doing the whole gifts exchange a few years ago, and it just makes the holidays much more relaxed to me.

@ OvBruce: I had one of those here in Holland once too.
Nice, but just thinking about them almost makes my teeth fall out. :wink:

NOW we're playing with matches. You should try a tub of their Tzatziki dip, it's heavenly. Trader Joes is so awesome.

Time for your yearly tug then.

You know that whilst Christmas comes once a year, you don't have to? ;)
