Christmas: What will you get, or will be getting?

[Temporal Knight]

Well, since it is that time, and that day, and that season, I thought I'd make a topic about what folks will be getting or have already received this year for the holiday. And heck, even if you don't celebrate Christmas, you have to at least be getting something this year.

From the smallest of things, to the largest, who cares? Even the smallest gifts count. This topic also gives me to chance to wish the entire Compendium a Merry Christmas.

i got for mia a watch shed been eying for a while now. its silver with amethyst (her birthstone) and lacy metalwork. i also got for her a ring that i thought would match it. i cant really think of anything to get a girl for christmas other than jewelry.
for mom, i got some cds she wanted. crazy christian crap, but its what she wants. who am i to judge?
dad is getting a sweater. not a goofy christmas sweater, but this nice red one with a bit of dark blue trim. its not like red red, but more like this kind of red. no one in my family looks good in red or blue or green. we tend to go for this kind of red or this kind of blue or this kind of green.
anyway, i got my brother and sister a couple of final fantasy figures. they seemed so enthralled with me playing 9 that i decided as a last minute gift to get them some figures. pat is getting vivi (because he loves vivi so much) and megan is getting dagger. she likes the summoning magic, you see. she keeps begging me to use ramuh on something, but i keep telling her that i want to save the mp.

as for what i will be receiving, i will tell you at approximately noon, after the festival of torn wrapping paper, as well as my familys reactions to their gifts.

That's one of the most Ironic things ever. I bought my girlfriend a sterling silver neclace with a heart made out of amethyst on it.

I donated a few bucks to Michelle Akers' horse rescue farm:

Just received my gifts for Eve. Rather nice, actually.

1 Emergency Car Jump Starter Kit
2 Nice Jackets, one of which I am enthralled with.
1 nerdy hoody, zip it up all the way and it's a Storm Trooper from Star Wars.
1 2000 Point Wii Card
1 Glass Sculpture of a stingray for my room's theme.
1 really nice pocket-watch.
And some other stuff.

Tomorrow, I'm sure to get more.

I got a new jacket, hat, a computer chair, way too much chocolate, and money for getting my PS3.

Also, first year I've been able to afford presents for everyone!

Im looking forward to Lunch the most though xD

[ZombieBucky]

well, everyone loved what they got. mom freaked out with the cds, dad changed shirts immediately, and pat had zidane stab dagger. dagger then summoned the wrath of a dinky twilight journal to smash him.
i received a pair of slippers, a lot of clothes, phantasy star universe, and a copy of mia's house key.
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

cant wait to bake for everyone!

[Trebuchet]

I got some nice sunglasses. And Tetris DS! HELL YEAH FUCKING TETRIS DS KICKS ASS!
And some seriously good headphones. Like, over the ear-sony-expensive kind.

THIS is what I got for Christmas::



Original SNES cartridge and original player's guide (from my boyfriend), DS version from my brother (and it came with a poster!), and two shirts (a Gaspar one and a Magus one) from CafePress from my parents.

I have the best family and boyfriend ever.

The purchase of Obama paraphernelia is becoming a running gag in my life, it seems. 

And KICKASS French darkwave music, hell yeah! I can't believe I was letting this genre escape me for so long. It seems one of my perpetual goals in life is to find non-videogame-oriented bands that can still come up with perfect battle and boss music.

Sanj...go....t.....Chrono Trigger...fo...r......SNES....O_o.....SO RARE. AND THE GUIDE? MUST HAVE IT! I BEG OF YOU, MILADY!

  That's a wonderful get! I also like your shirt designs. Especially the Gaspar one. I might just make my own now....


On another note.


Today I recieved:

Several Star Wars Lego sets. I collect them.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Why can't they make more side-scrolling Mario games anymore?)
Muramasa The Demon Blade (Awsome game, by the way. Beautiful game.)
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. (Which is really interesting)
New headphones
A crapload of holiday sweets (Which I usually share with my family and friends)
Nintendo DSi
A new computer chair (WHOO. FINALLY I CAN SIT IN COMFORT!)


My family? They got everything they wanted. It's hard to get stuff for them because my mother and grandmother (The only people I live with) only like certain things, and they usually don't chose much. (Over here, they chose what they want for christmas).

Meanwhile, I feel bad because I get all kinds of things, and yet I feel I do not deserve them. I suppose I should cherish the fact, though, that I am an only child. *scratches head*

Look up Kajiura Yuuki and Bruce Falconer.
