The Christmas Thread

Merry Christmas VGCollect!



Went to a work Christmas party last night. Watched my drunk co-workers and had a couple of drinks myself. Had an alright dinner (it was catered and fancy, the cook just wasn't very good). And didn't win a single prize.    But it was nice that my work does that for us.

My wife works on Christmas, so we did Christmas early for the 2 of us. And I scored! What I got:
-Batman: Arkham Origins (XBox 360)
-WWE 2K14 (XBox 360)
-Xenogears (PS1) (VGCollect.com Secret Santa)
-Megadeth: Rust In Peace: Remastered (CD) (VGCollect.com Secret Santa)
-Metallica: Kill 'Em All (CD)
-Disarmonia Mundi: The Isolation Game (CD)
-Man of Steel (DVD)
-Star Trek: Into Darkness (Blu-Ray & DVD)
-$10 Wal-Mart Gift Card (Work Secret Santa)
-Two awesome old school gaming t-shirts! One an NES controller t-shirt, and the other a 8-bit Super Mario Bros. t-shirt.
-And "The Chillow". A pillow that stays cool.

I still have 3 different family get-togethers to go to, though, between my dad's side of the family, my mom's side of the family (split family), and the in-laws. Busy, but I'm definitely thankful for a large and loving family.

So, what is everyone else's plan this year? What did you get?

Just realized I should have put this in the Off-Topic Forum. Sorry, guys. Feel free to move it.

Moved as requested.

Now we need some people posting here. :p

As far as Christmas gift-unwrapping goes, my family basically waits then gathers until New Year.  Glad to know you'll be happily listening to some Megadeth and/or Metallica on the holidays while watching Man Of Steel lying on your Chillow.

Opened a few gifts with the girlfriend this morning and am heading to her families house in a bit for their family dinner. Probably won't be online much for the next few days so I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone!

I don't get any gifts from my family (I never ask for anything, I'd rather see them give stuff to my nieces and new nephew). But as our family tradition states, we're making tamales today. Nom.

You can have some, just drive down to my house.

Merry Christmas!  Like Matt I prolly won't be on a lot, but I'll have my phone on me and will check in occasionally.

Merry Christmas to all!

We just unwrapped our presents here (only time we could really do it due to my sister). Got that cool D-arts Megaman figure (http://www.tomopop.com/ul/26843-00%20Head.jpg), Memoir 44, Formula D and Shadows Over Camelot... and a bunch of random stuff (candy, chocolate, Army of Darkness the card game (what?) and such). Quite nice, and everyone else here was happy about their gifts too.

Not sure if any of you guys follow Nintendo Age but they also had a secret Santa thread. I signed up and went about business as usual. Meanwhile this was going on : http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=116215. Heh turns out I was the person he was buying for. Lol I was totally shocked when I got my package first off cause the box was the size of a microwave. I couldnt figure out wtf ... then I saw the address and the name (I know him and have spent a night at his house) and started laughing. He sent me a real gift as well (Jimmy Connor's tennis and Tecmo cup soccer NES carts and a NES game carrying case) and then at the bottom of the box was the portrait. Its now hanging in my game room. I posted a shot of me holding it on page 2 of the NA Santa reveal thread : http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=21&catid=7&threadid=117361
