I realise certain people will still be a few hours away, but Merry Christmas, everyone!

So far I've received some shirts and pants, The Big Bang Theory Season 4 boxset, Californication Season 3 and 4 boxsets, some gym equipment and for stocking stuffers, a desktop clock and the traditional Christmas Toblerone.

Merry Christmas everybody. I got tickets to NYE NBL game between Blaze & Tigers. Also got a packet of Nestle Scorched Almonds

I got my wife tickets to Il Divo concert in February, plus latest Il Divo contest. We got our daughter a doll, a Winnie the Pooh lego set and some shoes & clothes.

a Winnie the Pooh lego set

It's amazing how the Lego brand has expanded since I was a kid, they've gotten on board with pretty much every popular franchise out there. Mind you, of all the movie scenes to recreate with a Lego set...

Is that the other one they're playing in Brisbane?

I picked up The Dark Knight, Walking Tall, Adelaide 36ers' 1980s: The Golden Era DVD, Undisputed by Chris Jericho, Foley is Good, Basketball on Paper (now I can stop annoying benji in the Random NBA Questions thread), and a 2TB hard drive.

[Oznogrd]

So this morning we can add a bunch of candy, a couple shirts, and my smartass family gave me hand sanitizer and breath fresheners (not as derogatory as it sounds. I work with kids so stuff happens lol). Probably more to report later lol. All in all despite the lack of video games, enjoying the stuff i'm getting

Nah, I think the other Brisbane game is in Feb and involves Townsville.

This one is down at Gold Coast. It'll be alright though, grandparents are babysitting my daughter so a night out for dinner and a game

[Lean]

I got nothing. Only expenses for others.

[Andrew]

Harsh.

[Cruzerr]

A bathrobe.
A headset.

Still, I gave my mom a 100 euro present so...I guess I did not win? Meh, Xmas still.

[Patr1ck]

Thick socks
Down comforter
Feather pillow
Money.
Yeah, I will get some good sleep.

I seem to be the only one giving people cool gifts in my family.

Mom- kitchen mixer
Brother- micro x tennis balls that never go flat. A bottle of grey goose vodka.
Nephew- 3 bluray/3d/dvd/digital copy movie sets.
Sister- south park season 13 dvd.
Brother in law- rc helicopter.
Friends- Mass effect gifted through steam, gift card, and liquor.

I plan on getting them all tickets to basketball games, too. I'm not bitter, I just find it interesting that they use money as an excuse. Not that they don't have any, but I save properly for things like this. So the money I got is going towards what I wanted. Do they really not know me?

[[Q]]

i got around $200 in cash from relatives because they know nothing about me and had no idea what else to get me. it's been pretty much that way since i was 15

[dare]

Same here.

[shadowgrin]

Because you all look the same.

[Stress Fracture]

Money, a headband, a bath towel, a tumbler.

That's still not too shabby, better than getting a haul of inappropriate gifts. They say it's the thought that counts but it seems to me that getting someone something they don't like/aren't into isn't putting much thought into the matter. With that in mind though, sometimes cash or a gift certificate is the best way to go.

[Oznogrd]

Agreed with andrew, although for once this year all my gifts have been spot on.

Fiancee's family got me a few xmas ornaments, the same teacher nutcracker (completely independently of my family) and then surprisingly despite being pretty conservative Christian: Deadpool & Cable vol 2. and Scud the Disposable Assassin: The Whole Shebang. I'm glad they didnt open either cuz they get pretty twisted lol. BUt oh man...i win on in-laws i've decided
