What does Christmas hold for you this year?

Re: What does Christmas hold for you this year?

Hah. I went off topic.

Anywho, here's to hoping I wake up to find a nice Wacom tablet awaiting my usage upon Christmas morning. That'd be oh so nice.

WIN

I have a 9x6.5in Wacom tablet, combined with photoshop, it is pure bliss xD
hope you get one.

I seriously don't know what i want for Christmas, probably just money or gift cards, because Christmas is hard on me this year, whithered down my bank account pretty quick, and I'm starting to pull some out of my savings, which is never good.

Posting from my Wii.

Anyway back on topic. I bought a murder mysteries dvd board game thing as we always play board games at Christmas. Anyone had a go at these? It looks like loads of fun.

Re: What does Christmas hold for you this year?

There's no snow here so I happened to look at the calendar the other day and realized Christmas was only five days away. That realization sucked. I have to manage not only presents for other people but I have to gather presents with the $300 I got from family.

I picked up a bunch of clothes (to keep the family happy) and picked up Capcom Classics V. 2, Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii and Shining Tears as well as another WiiMote and Nunchuck. I've got more presents coming from my girlfriend and her family as well as smaller items from my parents but the next few days will require a lot of driving between families.

Whatever it is it's in the console of Andy's car.

Or he said that to make me start thinking of things it could be and it's really, like, pants or something.

Also, I always request professional-looking clothes for presents, so I sent my mom a list of stuff at New York & Co. I would like and I'm pretty sure everyone in my family ordered stuff from that list.

I think Andy's mom got me a bathrobe.

Re: What does Christmas hold for you this year?

LOLOL I got one.

Like seriously, I've been playing WiiSports so freaking much lately (high score in bowling: 223). It's fun. Too bad I had to pay for it with my own money.

Oh, and ackneer (sic?): download Audacity and downsample your MP3s into low enough quality wavs, then use rumkin.net (I think that's the URL) to send them to your phone. It might be a Sprint-only thing, but it works for me and since I have unlimited internets i.e. large tubes with my phone, the ringtones are practically free.

Thanks for the suggestion, but my parents are essentially against downloads for computer safety. Besides, my dad could probably get the software free from his job, but again, thank you for the suggestion.

Re: What does Christmas hold for you this year?

I'm going shopping today.

On one side of the family we are keeping it simple and only getting one person up to $35. I got my cousin's name. She has a list so I'll get her a book and some DVDs.

Getting aunt and uncle on one side a $50 gift card to a nice restaurant ($25 each from my sister and I). Getting my dad and stepmom a $40 gift card from just me to the same place. Getting my grandma a $40 gift card to Bed, Bath and Beyond. Getting my mom and her boyfriend a $40 gift card to a different nice restaurant. My sister and I aren't getting each other anything. Same with my little bros, unless they get me something then I'll get them something small back. I'll take my grandpa out for dinner sometime for his gift.

My sister's boyfriend has my name. Don't know what he got me. No clue what my mom's getting me. No clue what my grandpa's getting me (probably a $50 Best Buy giftcard). My grandma's getting me an Old Navy gift card. No clue what my dad and stepmom are getting me. Probably junk like last year. :/

I bought myself a nice bluetooth headset + dongle, and for a great deal. Maybe someday I'll have a nice cellphone to use it with. For now it'll be used for Skype, since my girl is in Canada and the hassle of 2 sets of cords (1 mic, 1 headphones) and being immobilized and uncomfortable makes it a pain to chat sometimes. I will have to cough up $15 to Skype for a years worth of unlimited calling in US and Canada, but it'll be worth it (they are charging for it starting in the new year).

Re: What does Christmas hold for you this year?

I got a projection screen monitor (I payed for half of it, 250 dollars) and the Wii.

Got both early so actual Christmas day won't hold too much for me.

As for what I got my family, I got my brother an MP3 player and payed 100 dollars towards the XBox 360 my parents got him. Got my dad the first season of Everybody Loves Raymond and my mom a back massaging mat.

Re: What does Christmas hold for you this year?

This christmas is basically just the same as last year, all I really need is more books to fill up vast void next to my computer (The speakers are my improvised bookends). Just a few books to help my WinAPI, PHP and C++ collection, and some to help my overall understanding of Game Design/Development. Just one thing I'd really like is a marble chess board and victorian pieces, just playing on it would make me think thrice before taking a move.

Re: What does Christmas hold for you this year?

I know I'm getting some sweet new stuff for my horse, which may not seem that exciting, being utilitarian and all, but I'm glad I didn't have to spend the money on it myself. I'm also hoping to get a nice camera, since I love photography (how cliche) and I haven't been able to really take any artistic pictures since the end of the school year last year when the school took the camera I was using back, as it was a school camera. So, yeah, I really want a camera. And I put some DVD's and CD's on my Christmas list, too...but nothing big really.

Re: What does Christmas hold for you this year?

I got a cell phone (with my dad paying the bill for 6 months) and the first Disgaea game. The rest I get in money, which will probably be around $250.

My birthday is less than two weeks after Christmas, and for that I'll be getting a car. If my dad gets the money from his dad.

I typically get around $1,000usd in cash because I don't know what I want.
