    So, it's Christmas morning! In Australia, anyway. Over the next 24 hours, Christmas morning will be coming to us all!

    Judging by this thread, not all of us had the milk and cookies power to know in advance what we were getting, so this thread is your opportunity to share with PC the list of things you got on the best day of the year!

    Bonus question: Were you happy with your haul or did your list to Santa get lost in the mail?

    Hello fancy picture time!

    Spoiler:


    The stuff at the top that's hard to make out includes some FairTrade chocolate, a £10 note, and some cufflinks. Not shown are some PLANE TICKETS TO NEW YORK AND TOKYO FOR MARCH 2012!!! So, I'm very happy. (Although Santa was a bit too generous and got me two copies of A Clash of Kings and The War for Late Night, so I'm getting to grips with Santa's Amazon.co.uk's return policy at the moment.)

    Merry Christmas!
     
    OKAY now it's my turn! I got:

    Steering wheel cover
    Belt
    Laptop cooling pad
    3 The Big Bang Theory T-shirts
    Pair of shorts
    Flip-fold (YES, A GODDAMN FLIP-FOLD :D)
    USB Mini-fridge

    I'm extremely happy with that :D
     
    Nothing too interesting. Neither me nor my parents were able to think of about anything we could make use of we don't have yet apart from a car I could need in summer 2012 so we agreed not gift anything at all for Christmas. Removed some unnecessary pressure during the advent time, too. So all I got were:


    • 100€ from my grandfather
    • some sweets
    • a coupon for two driving lessons from my parents (as I had to find out they broke the agreement) to get used to non-automatic gear again. Our Mercedes has an automatic one, and I hate it - but it's been over 2 years since I used another car (to be precise, that was my driving test), so going back to a normal gear probably won't be as easy as I wish it would be.
    • and - I'll take back the "Nothing to interesting" - of course the knowledge my parents are going to help me affording the car after I finish school. Probably going to be an used VW Golf or Polo, that should suffice for a (by then) 20-year old.

    Hmm, I got to work as a club gatekeeper for tonight, have my share of fun and get paid for it. Pretty good, considering I don't get presents for Christmas!
     
    $190, sneakers, T-shirts, a sweatshirt, and some candy and other odds and ends. The money is the big thing, and since I made more than a 600% profit this Christmas, I'm satisfied.
     
    A pair of amazing converses, Mario Kart 7, ipod touch, two argos gift cards (with receipts, so I'll probably return them), a load of money from family, and I'll probably be getting more money when we go around later to see the rest of the family. :3
     
    I was actually really happy with what I got : D

    Spoiler:
     
    So, I got:

    -1 Aqua Blue 3DS
    -1 Western Digital Elements 1TB external hard drive (needed this!)
    -2 GameStop GameCube controllers
    -1 Pokemon Black & White Noble Victories Furious Knights Theme Deck
    -1 Logitech USB mouse
    -1 Electric, waterproof razor
    -1 24 pack of AA batteries
    -1 mini-toolkit for computer repairs
    -1 homemade chalkboard
    -2 packs of gum

    That's everything. Except for a scarf I got two weeks ago.
     
    Okay so I kinda consider the iPhone a gift to myself since it's so great and I technically brought it due to Christmas so I'm counting that! I really didn't mind what I got because I knew I had that so on the actual day I was like "oh yeah handy" and actually POSITIVE throughout the day!

    Either way what I got from family was basically essentials:
    - Camera tripod (going to be useful!)
    - Fan (to cool my room obv)
    - A board... to place laptop on... when I'm sitting down...
    - Perfume (needed)
    - More foundation, hair above mouth remover and garnier... something that I needed more of
    - Two pairs of Pajamas
    - Makeup
    - Other stuff from Avon ^

    I think that's all of the major things. I was actually happier with what I got for Nan/Pop, which was giving Nan my old phone to use AND an outside ornament while I got Pop a holographic wall thing of horses which he really liked. :3
     
    -grey skinny jeans
    -a plain black sweater I can wear to work
    -A GIGANTIC SWIRL POP
    -$50
    -a ticket to go to Universal Studios(a theme park I've never been to my two bothers got tickets too)
    -Skyrim
    -an over the door mirror
    -$20 Target gift card


    ...I think that's all I got. I'm happy with my stuff :D
