Where did you find the Ghosts Limited Edition? I'm almost scared to know what that cost.

eBay. I paid less than double the original cost. That's all I'll say.

I should clarify, I bought myself all those gifts. I did get some $$ from family that I used to fund my purchases.

I got a board game (Dominion) and a new Blood Bowl team.

My wife always goes to the limit to try and find something she knows I'll like, and she'll brave the deepest, darkest nerd store dungeons to find it.

I also got a hipster scarf.

I got clothes mostly (lol), but the most interesting (and nerdy) thing I got was a Super Meat Boy mug from my brother that was signed by the developers of the game! It looks awesome.

My brother always finds me cool stuff for Christmas. Last year was a Chrono Trigger t-shirt that you can actually wear in public. (a nice clock looking design on it)

I asked for just one thing - Santa's list of girls who were naughty. It's not like he needs it after Dec 25, right?










Didn't get it though.

Your guy gave you a hummer? That sounds fabulous.

Santa (I) wanted to buy some powder skis today, but couldn't decide on which pair I wanted, so the search continues.

Guys give the best hummers, if you can past the stubble. If you're used to dating eastern euros, it's actual very easy. And they chug like it's a gift.

Not that I know anything about either of those situations

Between tete and I, we just got one gift on December 24. The worst part is that we have to share our gift.

Oh well, it is still the best gift ever. Her name is Kateryna.

^ Damn onions. What a beautiful child, and so well dressed!

Before I list some gifts, I want to say one thing. I would like to think that it is a continuation of the spirit of the previous post, but from the other side of the spectrum. The best part about Christmas, bar none, is coming home to Mum and Dad's where there is always a feast of epic proportions. This year, however, was something special. To use the common internet meme, an "epic win."

Because of a miss-timer on the oven, we had enough time to introduce a nearly ten-year old to "Lord Of The Rings." Taught him how to play darts, and would of been chess too, except when he opened his gift there were two sets of black pieces!

My brother in-law finally proposed to my sister, and this is amazing news. He spent seven months hand-carving and crafting a box for the ring out of wood imported as a specialty from Africa, as well as a custom Elephant figurine carved from a wood from Africa that I can't remember the name of for the life of me. When you pull the drawer out the ring is presented over the inscription of his proposal speech. The ring and box didn't come to dinner, but a few drinks in I challenged him to say it (with little sister's permission) and yeah, hell yeah, welcome to the family bro. Finally, ffs.

My little brother moved into his first home with his girl, and we played video games (FIFA12 and NHL12...I'm the champ!) until all hours on Christmas Eve.

Getting back to the feast, rather than go into details, let's just say that legions of Kings of great armies and nations looked on from the afterlife and cried in envy.

I got a 32GB flash drive, socks and underwear, some awesome custom swag like magnets and mouse pads and pens with my logo on it from my Dad, and a good stash of beer from all over the world from sister in law.

Gave out movie passes, "The Truth" by Terry Pratchett, a Chess Set, Batteries, and Gift Cards.

I got a few things that were cool, but the best thing that happened to me was seeing my mom's reaction to the new laptop that my brother and I bought for her. Her reaction was just priceless and was way better than my new wallet, or Iphone alarm/speaker thing.

A Netbook computer and a Blackberry Playbook were my two big scores this year. My sis also picked me up a 3rd Flames jersey, but I can't decide if/who I should get on it! (already have an Iginla home jersey).
