Brag about your loot

[loinburger]

My parents and I opened presents a few days early this year, since we're flying out to California to celebrate Christmas with my brother and sister-in-law, and we didn't want to have to haul all of that crap with us. So, here's my "what did you get for Christmas" thread that will no doubt sink to page 5 by the time somebody else actually gets around to opening their presents which will prompt somebody else to make a "what did you get for Christmas" thread resulting in my thread sinking into obscurity and causing me to cry tears of butter when I get back online in January.

Anyway, this year I got:
- A 10-piece non-stick cookware set
- A George Foreman grill
- Socks

and I couldn't be happier -- I definitely needed the socks, and I can definitely make good use of the cookery (every time I see my parents my mother immediately asks how I've been eating, and I always say that I've been eating nothing but spaghetti, tacos, corned beef hash, and rice, and she asks something like "why don't you make grilled cheese sometime?" or "why don't you make liver & onions sometime?", and I always reply "I don't have anything to cook them with," so apparently my folks decided that I need to eat more grilled cheese and liver & onions, so I'll oblige them), so now I can only hope that my parents have informed my brother and sister-in-law that my watch is being held together by duct tape and that they take the appropriate actions.

So, how'd your haul go?

A 2-stage snow thrower.

I'm not sure about anything else.

Sharing the birthday of December 18 with Markos, I cash in double during the yuletide

My father gave me some of his money and a bottle of Johnnie Walker (he's a realistic man, I guess). My mother gave me some of the money that used to be my father's. My cousin gave me "Ein weiters Feld" by Günther Grass that I can't imagine I'll read within the next 20 years.

So far all I've gotten was a 128MB USB2 Hi-Speed keychain with a necklace thing, most of my presents will be opened on the 24th/25th...

[Wittlich]

Well, I won't know until the morning of December 25th.

[Lorizael]

I got a collection of short stories by Philip K. **** from a friend. Most of my Christmas presents will be opened the morning/afternoon of Christmas.

Lorizael, that post sure looks weird with the censorship thing. Or maybe it's just me and my sick mind.

[Lorizael]

Funny thing is, the collection is called The Philip K. D!ck Reader and I just couldn't help but calling it the **** Reader.

Edit: I'm eighteen, btw, so don't expect much maturity from me.

[Monk]

Lorizael,

Speaking as somebody much older and wiser, I can safely say 21 isn't much different

[Lorizael]

I think I need to stop associating avatars with posters.

[Skanky Burns]

I got 1429 worth of gold, gems and goods in the previous Thief mission. Full loot, baby!

[Sikander]

I got a large set of tools from my father and a DVD of WW2 Pacific battles. Everyone else is either dead or doesn't play Christmas anymore.

So far, I've got:

A $75 Nordstrom gift card
two history books
A lot of chocolate

Major gifts on 12/25, but they won't be ameliorate the psychotic family.

[MrFun]

I won't be getting anything except for $50 in cash from my mother.

I bought her a thoughtful gift though, and chipped in with my siblings towards a new, half-fridge for her basement.

But our mommy will give each of us adult children $50 and lavish her grandchildren with several gifts for each of them.
