Yarr! Christmas extravaganza! What'd you get for Christmas/Winter holiday YWS? Share your stories of Winter Wealth, I say!

I got a Wacom and lots of clothes. :O

I listed what I got in my blog

But I guess I can say here too!
(Oh, and merry christmas!)

A ps3, I was in shock. (It's coming out of my brothers bank account though, not my dads! lol. He's been saving for one.) A $50 borders gift card, A Humphrey Bogart box set (Including Casablanca, High Sierra, They Drive By Night and The teaser of Sierra madra), A Band T-shirt (Venus Hum), and a CD (You'll Wake Up Yesterday by Thoushaltnot)

Now, in a few I'll be leaving for my moms house. But there, I think I'm just getting money...but we'll see! (Isn't that weird? I get two Christmas? Not as fun as you think it would be.)

What did everyone else get?

Merry Christmas all

My favorite present I got was a scarf that my girlfriend worked on for over a month. Also got some books, and apparently everyone thinks I'm a suduko addict 'cause I got lots of suduko stuff. My entire family also got a nintendo wii, which is very fun! The stupid internet connection thing ain't working though...

All in all, it was a pretty good Christmas in the Caldwell household. Went to midnight mass, which this year was disappointing since it was pretty much like any normal mass, and had a big dinner.

Nothing. Er, wait. I got an alarm clock. Joy.

Claudette--I'm in the same boat with two Christmas', the presents are great--the retardedness of going back and forth on Christmas is horrible. But I'm happy to report that this year was the first year I got to spend breakfast on with the part of the family that cooks amazing meals =]



I got money mostly, which is what I asked for. I got a few cd's and two movies. I got three sweaters, a borders gift card, a maurice's gift card, a best buy gift card, an itunes gift card [which i've been trying to use all day and it's not working out], and a digital camera [which I love extremely, but didn't ask for ], a black dress coat, and 'MadGab'.

My Christmas this year was amazing, considering the financial state we are all in this year--especially with my birthday coming up on friday!

Merry Christmas!!

From mother:

Soap :-p


No, really. I got body lotion, some movies (That I don't even really care about, I don't like them, they're an "everyone" thing. I asked for Chicago, but she didn't even get me that...) and some other little things that are kind of...general. (Nail polish, lol.) the major thing was a Best Buy gift card.

But all in all, holidays are exciting. Write me, I feel for you!

i got money mostly plus a few bits n peices and a pool table

I got a very funky new TFT monitor (now all I have to do is rehook the old one and I'll have three going at once! ) and, even better, a typewriter!

I love it when parents get things just right; I didn't even know what to ask for, but they figured something out really well.

Socks ^_^. I really needed new socks.

Also, The Hogfather (book), a nifty new mobile (after I lost my old one), a couple of shirts and almost a hundred quid .

But my main Christmas present is actually the school snowboarding trip coming up. I'm going to be tearing up those slopes (etc.) .

I loved my presents this year.

My girlfriend got me a replica Brown Bess musket (cost her a lot, the crazy woman) and it's so unbelievably awesome. It can't fire properly, but it still has a working mechanism so you can still cock it. Will look great on my room.

From family --

Entire Sharpe TV Series collection on DVD.
X-men 3 DVD
About eight books! I can't remember them all, but there were a couple of history books, Farenheit 451, Slaughterhouse Five and other ones.
Clothes (underwear, socks, a cool jumper)
Random other stuff -- alarm clock, body wash, headphones

Got everything I needed/wanted and more!

*plays with musket*

My brother got me NOFX-Wolves in Wolve's Clothing.
Dad: Police Academy boxset
Mum: Money and chocolate
Auntie:Money
Sister:Money
Elizabeth: The best present i could ask for a great Chrismas for her.

My Christmas was slightly weird.... it started off pretty bad too, though I enjoyed the day - my family does nothing spectacular for Christmas because my parents live in a remote community.

Well anyway, this is what I got and who I got it from.


Parents: An 'Edge' action figure (I love WWE, and I picked it out because there was no Batista :( *cries*) A new mp3, which we only figured out how to use yesterday (my old one got stolen) foundation (a hint, perhaps?)

Nonna: A Harry Potter clock (I don't actually mind it... but it is kinda tacky and cheap considering I'm no longer very interested in HP, I have two/three clocks, a watch and a mobile in my room already AND she was going to give it to me for my 16th birthday.

Sister: 'Terrier' by Tamora Pierce (if anyone wants to borrow it, pm me) and chunky necklaces

Sister 2 & Husband: Chunky necklace, joke cockroaches and a t-shirt I havent tried on yet

Ex-bf: $50 and four pairs of earrings. (He bought this while we were still dating, poor thing.

I got The Prince of Persia for Pc, and the game pads to run it. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!

A leccy, woot!

And mum got me eight pairs of socks o.0 Eight!!
