Oh Yeah!

 

[Krow]

2 pairs of jeans
a new pair of shoes and boots
4 metal shirts
a jacket
a pile of cds
7 xbox 360 games
$85 worth of gift cards from different places to eat

and about $135 spending cash that I'm going to blow as soon as I can deposit it into my account.

MY family is slowly turning Christmas into making sure I have clothes... and I kinda like it that way.

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

Neither side of my family tends to make a formal spectacle out of Christmas anymore, so I didn't expect anything. I was very surprised to get:

-About $400 in cash (which is all going toward music and books since I'm surprisingly financially set for school)
-An awesome cheap flannel shirt (it's a gag gift every male in the family gets but this thing is comfortable as fuck and kicks all kinds of ass)
-A couple of other shirts
-Some writing materials for intense scholarly pursuits
-A stockpile of Sour Dots that I'm making use of now
-Assorted gift cards for food and gas

My family knows that I like to treat myself to exclusive music and literature, so it basically turns into a contest to find the most intriguing way to package cash. I have no complaints.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Ugh, I wish I could recieve some cash. Instead I got a stereo system that doesn't work, socks, pajamas, Arrested Development Season 3, Curb Your Enthusiam Season 1, and some other shit.

All that I really wanted some some money towards school/PA system.

I got a pretty 13 inch mac pro and a neckpiece from horsechick. Then I took it to a bar to meet this polish fingersmellinghater chick and she beat me up again because of it. I don't mind her beating me up but this time she tried to make ME beat HER up and I wasn't up for this shit. Because I like her.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Sweet.

A few games, a couple of Charlie Brooker books, and the most important thing.

So I've bought myself an Ortofon OM 10 cartridge for my turntable, which was cheap anyway and I'm probably going to get some albums and some clothes. Possibly including shirts (no homo) and other such ridiculousness.
