My literary treats for Xmas? The Hellbound Heart, by Clive Barker, French For Dummies (yes, yes, I know!) and The Walking Dead II by various authors.

 

I got an X-box 360 (Along with Black Ops; hell yeah!) and a Kobo, as well as several other smaller presents. And my brother came to visit for most of the day.

Pretty awesome Christmas in my opinion.

Merry (late) Christmas, all!

 

A late Merry Christmas from Greece.

 

I hate Christmas on principle. I especially hate it when my presents consist solely of a pair of pajamas, socks, slippers, and a shirt.

I hate this goddamn recession. -_-

 

You cannot have had a worse christmas than I, gifts-wise. And pyjamas sound good at the moment - it's cold as shit here.

Fucking failconomy.

 

I got pyjamas too, and its cold here too so it's good.

The worst gift i got ,was from my grandmother when I was 7 i think. She got me a yellow shirt with flowery pattern and i had to wear it because I shouldn't be disrespectfull to grandma...fuckin' humiliating it was...

 

I got a giant fluffy pink poka-dot dressing gown. And I liked it.

My brother and my mother got each other the same presents - then I found out that my brother and I had got each other the same presents too. So whoops.

 

My grandfather got me a pack of tighty-whities. Also, they were for a 38 waist, and I'm a 33 or 34. Also also, this happened about two years ago, so yeah - 23 years old.

As far as I'm concerned, your grandmother is a fantastic gift giver.

 

You win at failing.:awesome

 

I got a new DS (now I can trade my Pokemanz ), Goldeneye 007 for DS, a few other games, some books on Pink Floyd, some DVDs and my bitchin' new PC I got a month ago. Yeah, good Christmas all around.

 

I think I have the best brother ever. Seriously. Completely out of the blue, he bought me TWO of these.

I only got him a couple of PS3 games. I feel like a tool, but at least I get to do so basking in the glow of my two brand new and massive monitors.

Merry two days after Christmas!

For Christmas, my monitor and my stereo receiver both quit working within weeks of each other. :facepalm

I need to replace some capacitors in the monitor and that should fix it (if I ever figure out which ripple current rating I need for the replacement caps), but the stereo... who knows. I'm not looking forward to venturing into the mess of almost completely inaccessible cables behind it to disconnect the thing and find out what's what.

Guess I'll have a use for that new flashlight and the ratcheting screwdriver... makes me sound way handier than I really am.

On the bright side, I got Skin Trade, so maybe that will tide me over until Nuhuh graces us with another chapter of Stalking Blood Sack.

Somewhere around my mid to late twenties, socks and pajamas became fucking awesome.

Happy Holidays!
