I feel your pain my man. From finding out my fiancee was cheating on me to finding out my sister in law has a brain tumor to her and my brother having marital problems, preventing my family and I (the uncle) from seeing my nephews this Christmas..like we are being punished for stuff we didn't do.

My parents gave me the money to get a Garmin GPS that was on sale for Black Friday.

Outside of that, I don't think I'm getting anything else (maybe piddly stocking-stuffers).

Which is fine, because I didn't do too much giving this season. (Started a new job, got a stack of bills to pay, and haven't received my first check.)

EDIT: Oh, and my boss gave me the day off tomorrow. Hooray for the five-day weekend.

EDIT2: Well, got some cash, gift cards, and some clothes.

^ UH OH! That does not sound good at all.

Anyways, My wife and I asked everyone not to get us anything this year. My wife ended up getting a bunch of gifts and I got a beanie and a Nike hoodie. :lol: As long as my kids get gifts, I really don't need to get anything.

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
 
I asked for a new computer monitor because my old one is garbage.

Somehow I ended up with a 26 inch HD tv/monitor. It's a rental so at least it didn't cost a whole lot to get, but it's way more than I needed. It's like overkill, it makes me feel bad. I also got the PC version of L4D and Metal Gear Solid: The Collection.
 
I got a photo album, Japanese Cherry Blossom scented stuff from bath and Body Works, Final Fantasy: legend of the Crystals VHS 1 and 2 (one subbed, two dubbed), Pushing Daisies season 1, Who Wants to be a Superhero season 2, Solty Rei vol. 1, Straight Jacket (anime), Elite Beat Agents, and volumes 2 and 3 of the Cromartie High School manga.

Then, my boyfriend stopped by with monster-sized box, covered in silly graffti like "Unexpected: Spanish Inquistion", "Don't open until New Year's (2013)", "Warning: Live Solid Snakes(s) inside", and such. I open it, and find a ridiculous amount of bubble wrap. Eventually I dig up a wrapped present, open it- and it's a 360 Arcade bundle. I turn to my boyfriend and say "Is this a joke? Am I gonna find a rock in here?" He tells me to open it, and I discover... two rocks. :lol: I go through the rest of the box, slogging through something like 40 feet of bubble wrap and packing material to find all the components, plus a 60 GB live bundle with headset and 3 month live card, network adapter, and extra controller- specifically, MY controller, which I bought months ago so I could play Halo 3 with him.

To add insult to injury, my birthday's January 3rd. He asked me if I wanted my birthday present with my Christmas present- good thing I said yes, becuase he'd put the power cable in my brithday box. :roll:

Now I have to scramble to get all the other things I need- get the wireless internet up and going so I can get on live, get a second switchbox so I can get it hooked up properly, get some makeshift shelfing so it's not sitting on the floor, get a fan to help with overheating... busy, busy, busy...
 
Your boyfriend cracks me up, Duel.

Well, I'm pretty darn broke (college student) so I don't give or expect much, so I got:
two Takehiko Inoue art books
Duck-shaped measuring cups -- I wanted them, seriously.
Cherry blossom trinket box
Various girly things like clothes and this vintage perfume bottle

I never ask for games or electronics, since I don't want my friends or family spending too much.

Merry Christmas!

too much awesome stuff. But I must say I was also pretty generous.
 
Good times with the family this year! I didn't get much, but I'm totally cool with it. Spending time around my bad-ass kin is worth way more than presents could ever give me. Nevertheless, the haul:

Talent is Never Enough (self-help-ish book from my aunt, seems like a good read)
