Was going to start this earlier but had some delays. Anyways---go ahead and post pics of your gifts, opened or unopened, even if they happen to be recent birthday gifts. (I knew a girl in elementary school whose birthday was Christmas--I always thought that must suck gift-wise because there's no way they'd ever get double the amount to "make up for" their 2 main gift-receiving days being combined)

I like matching paper/bows to the gift, but sometimes that's very hard and it's easier to just use whatever. Left is a gunmetal PS3 (I've never found gunmetal or steel paper), right is Masterpiece Thundercracker. (metallic blue's hard to find too). (MP TC isn't an Xmas gift, it just happened to arrive this week so I had it wrapped anyways and will wait to open it) I still have the purplish-fuscia paper from my Sv-51 Nora, don't know what I'll use it for. It'd be great for a VF-27 Brera, but if they ever make a VF-27 I'm buying a Grace green one.

::edit:: Hmmn, the blue bow photographed funny--it's actually embossed all over with fine lines making it seem to glitter, and it's actually a much brighter blue than the paper---but it looks smooth and dark in the pic. (best I could do to match the metallic blue of Thundercracker)

Yeah...

I don't even have a tree up :) Gonna go outside and cut one down tomorrow (and before any of you city-dwelling nature lovers starts screamin' - my family have planted over 200 trees on our farm over the past ten years, and we traditionally cut one small one down to use as a Christmas tree every year).

As for presents - I think my mom got me one of those little USBs with lots of Giga bytes on it.

My girlfriend has promised to get me something anime/giant robot related on our trip to Berlin for New Years

And I got myself The Groxier X chogokin from Yamato - but it'll probably arive in late January.

And finally - my dog (a beagle), Oz, was BORN on December 25th - on Christmas day - so above all we'll have plenty of bones under the tree for him :)

Merry Xmas and a happy new year and a happy non-dimmensional faith-neutral holiday to all the rest (and belated happy Hanuka) and happy whatever I missed :)

And may Macrosswold live long and prosper!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

holly crap, is it really only a couple days from Christmas?!? I've been so busy with school I hardly had time to notice.

I don't know if I've gotten any wrapped gifts yet, haven't checked. (tree's in the upstairs room, which is cold as all hell.)

I got a copy of adobe CS3 design premium around September and CoD:WaW the week it came out and that counted as my Christmas gift from my parents, also my mom was planing on giving me a few disney pins wrapped on Christmas, but so far my dad's managed to spoil every christmas gift in the house. :rolleyes:

also I ordered a Queens Blade Nanael figure for myself but considering its been in transit for 3 weeks now from HLJ I'm beginning to think the postal service lost it. :( if it's not here by the end of the month I'm going to contact them. anyone know how HLJ is about replacing/refunding for lost/damaged goods?

:EDIT: lucky me, my figure final arrived today!

Since I am probably not going to get anything from anyone for Hannuka or Christmass or any other holliday from any culture that falls in December I WILL share with you what I got for my Birthday which falls in December. I am very lucky and my friends pooled in to get this for me....

Those are pretty awesome friends you got there, miriya!

Here's the gift that I bought for myself.

For sure. My friends are awesome and I am stoked on it.

Nice Screen!

I have been wanting one of those for a long time. I am still using my grandma's old TV from the 1980s that I inherited a few years ago. Sometimes I just watch DVDs on my laptop for better resolution though.

Actually, Ali G is from Staines in the You K - that's Union Kingsdum or sum'tin. And if yous be followin' the telly then theys been sayin 2 million Polish people been comin to the You K in the past like five days or centuries or whatever.

Borat be from Kazahastan :)

Also - pistacho nuts induce hallucinations that incline people towards talking like Ali G. It's a proven fact. Word!

I will be trying it in the "stock gun" classes at pistol shoots and will see if I can shoot better with it than the current gun I use (H&K USP45 Tactical).

I may just carry it though (I'm legal), it's pretty handy for bad guys too ;)

I think it's expensive too, which is why I'm saving up for it. I thought about getting the f4, but I might regret not having the extra two stops because I plan to take pics of car races with it and it can get pretty dark and cloudy over here, even during summer.

I might get the 50mm 1.8 too. Nothing beats a prime lens in IQ.

Back on topic.

Here's what I got myself.

Ooh, very nice. That'd go nicely with what I got, for one big-ass viewing marathon.

"The Larch!" :)

I'm already through season one of The Wire and it's even better the second time around (plus I missed a few episodes on my initial run). Love this show! :)
