What? In Australia games are like 100 AUSD, consoles like 700, and everything has super high inflation prices. 15 per hour is pennies compared to the cost of living.

Haha that's... not true lol. Things are more expensive here compared to everywhere else, but not THAT expensive. The PS4 you can get here for $548 and you can get Pokemon X and Y for like $44

So you were born on Christmas then. Okay, you're personally on my awesome members list. B-Day on X-mas means 2 times the gifts, two times the love. So jelly.

Oh my, I meant I was born at 24th, at 1 AM. However, I only got the gifts once because my birthday presents and Christmas presents are both counted as one. But I don't mind.

And speaking of games, I was almost unable to buy 3DS XL 2 months ago due to inflation everywhere. I'm lucky that back then I managed to buy one just before the price goes up.

Still, there is a pirce inflation and 15 dollars per hour isn't exactly the best in Australia.

Still, X-mas eve birthdays are awesome, my point still stands.
 
At least it's not inflation in a certain country that got really out of hand.

Or inflation involving a certain kind of afterlife.
 
Fair enough. Speaking about making money, being broke and jobless on Christmas blows. No presents under the tree. Hell, no tree either, new house is too small.

Elendil, I hope all things will be better soon. Lately I'm using the same tree that I bought some years ago (thank goodness that it's still functional), and the number of presents on the tree are not as much as it is in last year. I hope I or my parents can afford to buy anything now.
 
Ah, I'll be fine, been complaining too much on here and not doing much irl. Procrastination at work.

Ahaha, I love how we're talking about birthdays and Christmas, my girlfriend texted me last night saying 'happy birthday', and I got so confused :P She thinks I'm Jesus haha


But yes, Merry Christmas everyone <3
 
Merry Christmas everyone! What did everyone get for Christmas?

I got a vintage original Monopoly set from the 1930s, a copy of Pokemon 4Ever (for the third time), a Pikachu special DVD, Adam Sandler's SNL skits, and a ball cap with all the past and current Infantry divisions posted at Fort Carson, CO.
 
Considering that this is my last year with my family- They really wanted me to feel good.
I got about 100 dollars in cash for gas money- (Life saver for my commute)
A new GBC and brand new Pokemon Blue version- and now I can finaly finish the pokedex in Red and Blue ^^
I got a new football, and a bunch of candy.
Also- a couple pokemon TCG booster packs :D
Really good christmas.
 
What, you guys are done with Christmas already? My family drags it out quite a bit. As in, for a couple of days. So here I am listening to System of a Down and battling on Showdown while they're off doing other things.

I wasn't looking forward to today all that much (I haven't been able to make myself care for years, short of the religious aspect), but I can't help but be in a good mood. The entire family seems happy, for once. Though I think my father is just happy because he got bullets for Christmas. ;D

I also got a Pokemon Adventures volume of the D/P/Pt saga from my younger sister, from her favorite store over by the mini mall, Rainy Day Anime. She's the one who picked out my Pikachu Christmas Special DVD. :)

This song was the first thing to come on the radio when we sat down to open presents, and it's really put me in the Christmas-y mood. I'd thought I'd share it. ;)
