Some long sleeve shirts and a few half-days of 1MB/s download speed internet.

I'll be done once I've downloaded The Internet.

Money mostly with some gift cards to Barnes and Noble (think I'll get either 'The Prince' or 'Beyond good and evil') and Target. And some poptarts.

The Prince is overrated I think. :P

I got 3 D&D books, fantasy not rulebooks, by R.A. Salvatore and Ed Greenwood about their most famous characters Drizzt Do'Urden and Elminster, in respective order by author. I got Morrowind + both expansions which I loved getting because I needed the physical copies so that I could have the maps that came with them and the manual for Morrowind is of course gold. I also got a deck of Warcraft cards and an alarm clock. A note of 2500 ISK which I can buy tickets with to the cinema or to some play or just anything on a certain site that sells tickets, I got all 3 seasons of the cartoon "Avatar: The last airbender" which are really good cartoons if you can ignore some of the occasional childish humor and focus on the awesome storyline and the fleshed out characters.

I also got a lot of other trinkets and such but I'm not gonna count everything, but over all I'm pretty happy with this X-mas. Both in terms of spending time with my family and in terms of gifts :)

I got some awesome clothes, and a great pair of high-top trainers. I'm chuffed, although this is mainly cause I chose it all personally.
My favourite present is FIFA2012 - Hours of fun! ^_^

Nice.


Yeah, I noticed my single 6970 isnt cutting it in some games in Eyefinity. BF3 I can max, but only get about 25-30FPS, and Crysis 2 I have to play on the lowest settings to get a good enough framerate. So the 7970, should be a nice performance boost with 3GB of framebuffer and more powerful than a GTX 580......but for $550 I would hope its better than a GTX 580.

A harmonica which I'm extremely pleased with. A couple of books, games and dvds I had been after. I also got a red jumper-dress thing... it was really nice until the cat crapped on it, whilst I was wearing it. So that's in the wash already. Hahaha. :biggrin:

I also got lots of chocolate! I might buy myself a onesie with my money. And some new headphones, it was the only thing I forgot to ask for.

Some money, some gift cards, and some clothes.

Just wish the best buy gift cards would stop. It's so hard for me to get rid of those, but I can't get people to figure out that the real tech stuff can't be bought at Best Buy.

A lot of money, a new set of screwdrivers (my laptop better prepare to have itself and its warranty violated yet again), new backpack, and a fleece pullover.

Games and movies can be found cheaper (significantly in many cases) elsewhere (like Amazon).

It was only a month ago that I was finally able to get rid of my best buy gift cards from last year.

While it was desert, I just have to say this. I'm pretty sure the nearby covenant just gave me diabetes. Why? Well, I just happened to buy the last chocolate yule log they had for sale, and by the Chaos gods, it was thee most sweet and chocolatey delicious thing I have had. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBdOpBrwjh0
