View Full Version : The Obligatory Christmas Presents Thread

This is probably going to be perceived as too personal by the mods to have a thread for but I figure I'll see where they draw the line seeing as I think it's a bit tough to have people post their gift to their own blog:
It's that time of year again. No, not St. Patrick Day.
Or the Fourth of July, but you're right those are very fun holidays and I personally can not wait for the St. Patties Day Marathon, where I kill my hang over by running over 20 miles .. for fun.
NO - It's Winters Veil- er, Christmas and that means it's time for the Obligatory, "What I got for Christmas," thread.
GO!
I got an awesome Peacoat from my old man, along with another awesome Naval coat that makes me look even more like a BAMF. Don't worry, the Peacoat is standard and doesn't have any dumb designs on it, it's just a simple navy blue peacoat, and it looks AWESOME.
I got a Tom-Tom from my parents & two gas cards that could last me until February. Hello ROAD TRIP. Hello Washington DC, Hello NYC, Hello Boston, Chicago, and Miami. My name is Alexander, and if you don't see me this Winter Break, or for Spring Break, you will see me for my Summer road trips.
Then over the period of the last two-three weeks of hanging out with friends, I have assembled an AMAZING stack of Subway gift cards that could let me get my usual two-three foot longs from Subway for... well the next six months. If you want to copy my style next year, instead of asking for Gamestop gift cards, ask for Subway gift cards. I feel like the President with all of these 5$ and 10$ gifts going towards my campaign... my campaign to eat FRESH!
Obligatory Christmas Presents Thread, GO! What did you guys get? If you got was not that interesting or might be a little personal if it's from the wife or husband, I encourage you all to instead share what you gave. Keep it PG-13, people. Haha just kidding.

Lemme dig through my pile here.
External hard drive - because now that I'm all professional and whatnot, I actually need significant storage space...for all the PDF D&D books I downloaded for reference material...
50 state quarters with display frame - I had been trying to collect them at one point, but the collection was sacrificed to buy food. Plus these are uncirculated.
Heroes Season 3 - Because trying to get the season from Netflix was a PITA.
Label printer - For my birthday, I was given several items to help organize my all D&D material. Now I can label said items. (It's also for when I become a law professional, but that comes later).
Professional-looking watch - Because looking professional in a law office is important.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks - I think this is the first video game my parents have ever gotten me. Ever. It was on the front of a Target circular because it was on sale, and my mom asked if it would be one I'd like. Caught me by surprise.
The Plane Below - This is the first D&D book my parents have ever gotten me. I guess they've finally realized that being a gamer has in fact had at least some positive influence on me, and the fact that I'm a professional game writer kind of pushed it over the top. Either that, or I'm in some kind of Dark Mirror universe. You'd think an environment book would have been one of the free ones WotC would send me, but no.

Senheiser makes amazing headphones.
I got all of my stuff early this year from my dear Mother. She got me a crock pot and a bunch of cook books, and also some blankets for me and my girlfriend and some much-appreciated socks. Also some cans of salmon. Delicious.
Spending my first christmas with my girlfriend even though we've been together over 4 years now. I'm making moose stew, and it's going to be fucking awesome. Even though we're both too broke to buy each other anything until January, today should be great.

Oh man, I've been begging for a crock pot for forever. It would make meal cooking so much easier for my schedule.

I (we; Jilliane too!) got a rotating picture frame tree with lots of embarrassing pictures of our exploits with Kim and Matt (Evanthe and Faeriel).
That's our favorite, anyway. :)
I got a digital picture frame for the office from Jilli and Henri, and season 2 of Psych.
Jilli's favorite was our family photos that we finally went to go have taken, and she also got a disney movie that was missing from her collection (Aladdin) and some books she was wanting.
Henri made out like a bandit, with all sorts of train set stuff and boosters for it, a mickey mouse clubhouse playset and dancing mickey mouse, and an adorable Elmo with some books.

You actually got a Henkels set with the two men? Those are 1000 dollar sets typically. A single knife is over 100 bucks. Or did you get a single man with spear brand set?
RavenReverend
12-25-2009, 02:31 PM
No no no. I just got knives. No men to stab them with o_O Just a wooden block with knives in them. I think they actually belonged to a relative before they gave them to me. She went through a cooking phase, didn't want them anymore and I inherited them. I don't even think mine are real Henkels. Just an imitation brand with little dudes on my knife block.
Mine were more along the lines of a hundred dollar block of knives. I just used the image because that's what my knife block looks like and I'm too lazy to find the actual picture.

No. Henkels makes two versions of their knives. The super expensive sets have the little two man image stamped on them like in that picture and the cheaper versions have a single man with a spear stamped on them.
100 dollars(single man) vs 1000 dollars(two man) a set essentially.

Uh oh Nadea, you just activated my Target Electronics Salesman trap card.
I hate that all cameras are rated to 10 megapixels now. Unless you're blowing things up to poster size, or doing some serious cropping it's wasted cash. In a 5x6 photo, the human eye cannot discern between 5 megapixels and anything above.
Not ragging on you Nadea, that is a fabulous gift and I need to get a new camera (job) myself (damn 4.1 megapixel PoS, takes the old Sony Duo cards they don't make anymore). But if anyone is in the market for a camera, save yourself a few hundred and grab a 6 or 7 megapixel with better contrast.

I told my mom to not spend money on me this Xmas past one gift that I asked for, a watch.
So, my list might be short but I told people not to spend money on me due to the economy and that I am now going to be 22 and on my own.
So, the watch, is a Kenneth Cole watch from Macy's. Its a see-through, sort of steam punk looking watch that I made sure my mom got while it was on sale (save money)!
Also, I got Modern Warfare 2 and a bag of cash from my distant relatives.
Of course, lots of candy which I will probably never finish, ever.
I didn't get anything, except horrible horrible nausea.
Oh and a shirt.
But mostly horrible nausea.

It honestly makes him look like a BAMF, and that's not just because the collar is meant to be popped, either.

And my partner played his harp for my mother, which she loves, thereby winning about 1,000,000 son-in-law points over and above the USB turntable he gave her so she can make digital files of all her vinyl (and oh, I wish I'd had my phone handy to snap a pic of her face when she opened the package, it was priceless, she was gleeful as a 12-year-old).

A pair of the most badass headphones I've ever owned in my young life, made by Bose, some sketchpads, which I -desparately- needed, cash to the tune of $200, a $50 Best Buy giftcard, and not one, but TWO pairs of Converse, one of them One Star sneakers, the other a kickass looking pair of AC/DC high top Chucks, a la "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".

Newp. They wouldn't even give me a rain cheque, just told me to call back later. -_-

Hmmm... I got a T-shirt I'll never wear, a jacket that is too big which attracts "fuzzies", and what my father swears is a "high-end performance-grade" microphone manufactured by Audio-Technica. I also got a bunch of random "you never call me" grief from assorted family members. Yay Christmas.

Emmons, you've just activated my, "Frat," trap card.
If you're still going to VT next semester and I come up to party with some of my bros like last semester, we should chill. I thought about transferring to VT, but I instead decided that I'm going to wait a year and instead transfer to W&M. Besides, I like W&M International Relations program betters :P
Forever Sharp Knives; Paring, the 33cms "Forever Sharp" knife, and 4pc Steak Knives
Ha, that's what I got my mom.

W&M is on VT's good list. You beat UVA. I'm not in a fraternity, but I'm friends with a lot of folk in Theta Xi and Sigma Chi. We have to play Rockband, it's kind of TNG VT tradition.

It's a man-date.
I typically sing and thats about it in Rockband because that's the only thing I can get 90% with, let alone 100%. Sometimes it's bad because the other people playing with be too busy laughing at my parody of Rockband songs to actually play well. Hilarity then ensues as my angelic voice saves them from doom.
BTW: UVA=Fail
:D

I got rage.
Something I have plenty of supply in, I hope they saved their slips so they can get a huge load of 'kick in your ass'. I hear its good stuff.

A blue-ray player and associated Best Buy giftcard which I used to purchase Blue-ray discs to watch on said player: Watchmen Ulitimate Edition, complete series of Samurai 7 and BSG:The Plan
My grandfather's (surprisingly powerful) laptop and 40 year retirement watch (he passed away back in october at 89). I'll have to clean the computer of a lot of stuff that I don't need, but it makes a nice replacement for the one that broke. I might actually be able to run games on this one, though I haven't checked out what kind of graphics card it's sporting yet. Been too busy watching blue-rays and playing torchlight... >.>
A T-shirt which says "You read my t-shirt. That's enough social interaction for one day." (My step-dad finds the best and most appropriate t-shirts every year. Past favorites include "Keep out of direct sunlight", "National Sarcasm Society: Like we need your support" and 'To err is human, but to blame someone else takes good management skills...")

Hey Brig, Chicago isn't that far...come over next year and we can have a rage-filled christmas together. Might even invite Jeed. Maybe.

To be honest, I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped, although I cannot put my finger on why. Could be I just wasn't in a BSG mood when I watched it.
As a plus (or minus, depending on your point of view), though, it had random unexpected nudity... o.O
I won't go any further into detail, though, as this is not the thread for BSG reviews.
