I taught my mom about Amazon this year, so everything she bought was on sale, in true CAG fashion, plus she used the discount with Discover card. :lol:
 
[quote name='fatherofcaitlyn']My wife told me to get on my back this morning.

I thought, "Awesome. A Christmas BJ!"

No, she just wanted to snuggle.

So, I got a little disappointment today.[/QUOTE]

Bro, that's an open invitation! Foreplay it into what you want. Gotta finesse it. :D
 
Haven't gotten together with the family yet, but I won't get anything gaming-related there anyway. A friend did get me a SF4 6-button pad, and using a few BB gift cards I had I bought myself those Turtle Beach X41 headphones, which are really nice other than the occasional *POP*ping noise I get...which is infrequent but really jarring. If it keeps up I may return them.

Not at 7AM in the morning when I have to be at work at 8AM with a 30-40 minute commute beforehand.

...

Speaking of work... Holy shit!

I have had to tell three customers not to call back in because their issue has nothing to do with their Internet connection.

I had somebody calling for help to hook up their Wii to their TV. Not the Internet, the TV.
Do you have any issues with your Internet or Phone?
No.
Are you trying to hook up the Wii to the Internet?
No.
Why are you calling me?

...

Our work has graciously offered lunch. They put some skinless chicken in some water without any seasoning. A can of sterno is keeping it lukewarm. Mmm, fuck no.
 
12 months of Live and some chocolate for Channukkah.
$20 and a pack of Hot Tamales for Christmas, even though I don't celebrate.

The Hot Tamales were wrapped.

Who does that.
 
16 Gig iPod Nano
Pyjama Pants
Chocolate
Brittle
Money

My Brother Got A PSP And Beatles Rock Band (Game Only)

Sister Got A New Acoustic Guitar
 
Video games:

Other:
-Polo shirt

-A book about exercise/weight lifting/nutrition and an exercise ball (no idea where I'm going to put that)
-Smaller gift cards to 5 Guys and Barnes and Noble
-$140 cash
-Always Sunny seasons 1+2 on dvd

Not a bad haul at all.
 
Bought these for myself:

:360: Batman: Arkham Asylum
1600 Microsoft Points Card
Sons of Anarchy T-Shirt

Got this for Christmas from other people:
$125 cash

... will probably get MW2 at Target when it goes $39.
 
Let's see...
New shirt (I like it, it's a nice purple)
Japanese course book from the 60s (it's interestin')
Handmade pincushion in antique-ish Japanese teacup (I'll use this, I've been cross-stiching recently but keep misplacing the needle)
Body Spray
Landstalker on the Genesis, complete :)bouncy:)
Anticipation on the NES, cart only (I'm pretty sure my sister just had this lying around)
Every Extend Extra on the PSP, new
Paramore CD
Pixy Junket manga
Aqua Knight manga 1&3 (I've had volume 2 for years, never bothered to get the others)
Dominion of Murder anime DVD
Alakazam the Great anime DVD (obviously a bootleg VHS rip, but I don't care since there's no legit DVD for it)
Set of Final Fantasy 12 pins (which my fiance indivually wrapped, just to be a pest)
Handmade doll of a D&D character I played with no face (she didn't finish in time, so I guess I get to paint my own)
Needlepoint of pinky street dolls (I'll need to get it mounted properly)
Hello Kitty tin purse thing
Green crystal pendant on cord
$90 in checks
Candy
stocking knick-knacks (lotion and keychain and such)

Nothing crazy-good, but I wasn't wanting or really expecting anything anyway (most everyone I know had a crappy year money-wise). Certainly knocks a lot of lil' odds and ends off my Amazon wish list. ;) I'll work on the other lil' stuff myself soon... I can't just yet since my birthday's coming up in about a week.

My fiance liked his present, but was a jerk about opening it. I gave it to him before our work shift Christmas Eve. He saw it was a gift card tin and snuck it to work so he could peek at where the gift card was for. Trick is, the tin was a ruse- I got him a First Class Combant's Cross medal from World War 2 Germany (it's dated 1939). He was too excited to pretend he hadn't looked at that point, so he just found me and thanked me for it. (Then I hit him for peeking.:D)
 
Got no horrible black comedies this year thank God (after last year we got National Security, Black Knight, , Soul Plane and How High). So that alone was a blessing...

Besides that I got...

-Transformers: 25th Anniversary Matrix of Leadership Edition Complete Saga (16 discs of original Transformers cartoons all in one sweet ass package)
-16GB IPod Nano (8th Generation) in Orange. It's nice, but I don't understand why it only lets me record video, but not take pictures.
-$20
-Bucky O'Hare graphic novel (my cousin likes giving me random comics I've noticed)

So a good Christmas...Now to spend more money on game related stuff for myself.
 
1600 :360: points
:dvd: The Hangover
:dvd: WWE Ladder Match set (gift to myself)
$3 Crockpot from Target on BF
Lacoste bath towel (stoked)
Down jacket from Aero (clearance!)
Tickets to NFG's 10 year anniversary tour in March

Pretty excellent Christmas so far. Massive lobster feast last night, dim sum this morning, and Sherlock Holmes tonight...and I've got a five day weekend next week. Rules.
