dc20willsave Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 100 from my parents, Arkham Asylum from a friend, and I expect that to be everything. My real present is not having to leave my house all Christmas Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Almost forgot. Someone on the board was really nice and got me a couple of commentaries. Thanks to whoever you are and remember, eventually I will find out who you are and buy you some pocky. Mmmmm, pocky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hang on--are you all opening your presents early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Well, if they're celebrating Hanukkah, yes, gifting may have started already. That, or family/friend gift exchanges that might have happened before the date. I have a horrifying Spanish Santa Chihuahua that sings something about Santa in Spanish at me, and a gag YA novel whose author's name also happens to share that of our program's former director from our office White Elephant exchange, it's pretty cute. Better than the dried boxed scorpion one of my coworkers got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hang on--are you all opening your presents early? I saw my Dad yesterday, and exchanged stuff then, as he's away for the weekend, so that's my excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I got £20 in a card from one of my brothers. So yeah, good haul for me. And on a non-gift note, I was finally able to apologise to someone for being a gigantic prick to them several years ago, as I hadn't spoken to them since. It means nothing to no one else, but to be able to just move on from it, is a great gift for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
