So... um... like the title says..what did ya'll get?

I got (so far cuz there's more stuff I get to open up when I get home tomarrow):

Star Trek (DVD)
TMNT pajama bottoms (adult size)
Slippers
Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword of Avalon by Diana L. Paxson
Stargate Movie Replica Dagger of Ra
Sony E-Book Reader
Chullo Hat
AMC Theatres Gift Cards
Money
Orca Card

For those who don't know what an Orca card is they're a local thing. They're like bus passes that never expire. You just put money on it every month and when you wanna ride on a bus just swipe it like a credit card on the machine the buses have now.

Might be early, but how is that E-reader thing? I enjoy having tangible copies of books, but I also enjoy being lazy. Not to mention the nearest book store is a good 40 miles away.


I snagged:
DVDs:
Wolverine Origins
X-Men Animated (OT) Volume 3 & 4
Godzilla 50th Anniversary Collection including:
Godzilla '98
Godzilla 2000
Godzilla vs Destroyah
Godzilla vs Space Godzilla
Godzilla vs Megaguirus
Godzilla vs King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs Mothra Battle For Tokyo
Godzilla, Mothra & King Ghidorah All Out Monster Attack
Godzilla AGAINST Mechagodzilla

Marvel Essential Godzilla Collection
DJ Hero
A strange Predator type wrist blade replica
Some DC/Marvel shirts
TMNT Snuggie


I might get some more at a later point in time today.

Might be early, but how is that E-reader thing?

So far it's really cool. I haven't installed the software to put books on it yet tho...Im not home (house/pet sitting for the week for my boss) so I can't totally play with it...but it's got tons of features....

This is the one I got:
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665921180

And of course...it's red. :lol: There's 5 different word sizes... small, medium, large, xtra large and xtra xtra large. I was actually wanting the pocket one for christmas but my mom got me the bigger one. Which is cool cuz it's got super nice features. The e-readers come with books already in em (like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy).

How's the TMNT snuggy? I was thinking of getting one now that they've got the Raph ones available at hot topic. *lol*

I didn't get much (as usual) but my best friend just returned from Belgium and he brought me Belgian chocolate and eight different bottles of Belgian beer (including perverse absurdities like Cherry beer). AWESOME!

My mother got me a tourist guide book to Canada. Too bad I'm moving to Australia in February, not to Canada, but she still hopes I'm going to change my mind.

She and her Christmas presents with hidden messages.

I got Leonardo, which is neat. But they have a weird scent to them, almost like they were packaged in a Lo Mein factory. It's weird, but not entirely surprising considering the anime characters all over the box. But its big and fleece, so I imagine it'll serve it's purpose...you know, to look goofy as hell but be warm.

o Money
o 8 X-Box Games (5 from China) with an X-Box 360 Elite (I'm still spazzing about that like the excited child I am. Shame I have no internet connection with it...)
o A tin of Malteasers
o PJs
o 3 pairs of jeans
o Futurama Calander for the year
o A Rubbish Bin (best gift ever in my opinion. No sarcasm. It's already been put to good use).

So yes. I'm a very happy child this Christmas. Already wasted a good amount of time playing Assassin's Creed II. Oh Ezio. You and your love for pushing thieves off buildings when I'm playing you...

My mom and dad got me a fancy new washer and dryer for Christmas. Damn things are smarter than I am.....

My brother and sister in law got me a bag full of fun girly spa stuff

They also got a robotic squeeky mouse for my cat.....which won't stop making its hyper squeeking noises. Damn them!!! Payback for the loud obnoxious toys I get for my niece and nephew.

Stryker gave me fancy candles and an adorable candle holder set.

pretty good all in all

I dig it. I am no good at racing games in general and this one's no exception, but I'm a huge Speed Racer fan so I was happy to get it.

My best Christmases ever all have Mario in them, all the way back to getting the NES in 87. For me, how good Christmas was has everything to do with how many games you get. 8)

Oh, I forgot that I also got an awesome TapOut shirt. Looks kinda like the Bret Hart skull/wings logo. Spiffy.

And a little Irish cross necklace that apparently came directly from Ireland.

And The Simpsons Scene It and Monopoly City. With skyscrapers! (I kinda collect Monopoly games, and haven't played half the ones I have, but I really wanna try this one)

That's a fairly good haul of games. I heard even Speed Racer is decent.
