Christmas

Well, December is here and everyone knows what that means:  Christmas.

I personally love this holiday (who doesn't), and I already know what I plan to milk from my loved ones.  One item rhymes with S - Ox  350.

What do you plan on seeing/getting/whatever on Christmas?

I haven't even started Christmas shoping, nor do I know what I want.  Maybe someone in my family could use a DVD recorder.  That idea popped into my head the other day when I was fumbling around looking for a blank video tape to record a football game.

Hmm, an Xbox 360? I wish you luck on that, my good sir. I'm a PS3 man, myself, but if the 360 is the one you want, I hope you get one.

I know I'm getting some good stuff for Christmas! A few CDs I've been wanting for a long time, "Gran Turismo 5 Prologue" and "Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction" for my PS3, "Rez" for the PS2, and a Sega CD system! I considered asking for a PSP, but I really can't think of many games I'm that interested in getting for it... I'm mainly just interested in it for the Remote Play feature, and that doesn't even work for many games.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Hi no Seijin

Hey, it's you.  Aureliano.

I'm not a big fan of Christmas these days.  Far too much commercialism out there.

Of course, I'm not going to turn away presents.  Tieflings are apparently a playable race in the 4th edition D'n'D Player's Handbook.  I have to get the 4th edition D'n'D core rulebooks.
Best.  Cane.  EVER!

About half i'm asking for is Wii games. ;)

I also asked for a subscription to gamefly. Does anyone else have it/know anything about it?


And by the way HnS, what does D'n'D mean?

Twilight Wolf

We had GameFly for a while, FR. It wasn't too bad from what I can remember, but I think we did run into issues with it. Also, D'n'D, I assume, means Dungeons and Dragons.

Oh, yeah, welcome back to the Desert, Aureliano.

Hi no Seijin

It can also mean Department of National Defence, but that's just silly.

Yes.  D'n'D is shorthand for Dungeons and Dragons.

Oh, thank you. To tell you guys the truth, I thought Dungeons and Dragons was like, just a made up game on TV. ;)


And also, to you guys' recommendations, I am asking for Pokemon Crystal.

MagmarFire

I'd ask for Platinum if it were out already. Ah well. ;)

And yes, Aurel, welcome back. I thought you were Howl at first (it would be great if she came back, too, though!)

Only thing I'm really asking for is Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. I'm surprised I even asked for that, honestly. I normally don't care much about presents. I have gotten presents for several people though. I'm not sure if I'm going to be home for Christmas or not, so depending on how that turns out...:/

I'd also kind of like to ask for book 1 of Pictures of You, but...not sure my Stepmom would approve if she looked into it.

I'm mainly getting smaller presents this Christmas the majority of which are clothes. So clotheswise I'm hoping to get: A GORGEOUS tweed skirt I found, Some polo shirts, A sort of sleeveless cricket jumper, tights, gloves, a hat, and a hoodie.
Plus like some jewellery and hair stuff.
I've also asked for from one relative Okami for the Wii and the books American Psycho and The Book Thief.

But yeah I recently went Christmas shopping, spent about £50 (But that did include £20 on a jumper I found, but it was like 30% off so it was worth it!).
And then I spent another £20 online for a friend amd my Dad, and I STILL need to buy my brother something!

I don't really want anything. I'm perfectly happy with what I already have, and I don't have any urgent desires for anything else. My parents are shocked.

I... don't have a whole lot on my wishlist. CD's no one's heard of, mostly.

I've been making card after card after card for everyone I know, though. The friends, I mean. 15 of them off the internet. 2 irl. (not because I don't want to, but just because.... well, me liking them is a gift in itself :V and I'm poor)

It's the same with me this year. I don't really want anything for Christmas and my parents are trying to find out why.  ;)
