Like many others, I am damn excited about Christmas. Like many others, I have a Christmas Tree and decorations erected.
A new custom has been introduced in my family - as soon as my dad has bought the presents, he places them under the tree. Here's what I have so far: (feel free to post your own)
Present #1
----------------
Shaped like an action figure, but a larger base.
Prediction: Some type of gaming, film, wrestling or music action figure.
Present #2
----------------
Shaped like a DVD or PC Game. I shook it and it didn't rattle, which blatantly says that it's probably not a DVD. Also, it was quite heavy. I just borrowed Red Alert 2 from my cousins the other day and that was heavy also. My dad knows how much I want it.
Prediction: Red Alert 2.
Present #3
----------------
Snaped like a small cereal box. I shook it and I think that my sister put the present in a cereal box before wrapping it. She said ages ago what she would get me.
Prediction: Packet of fudges.
Present #4
----------------
Shaped like a video, but slightly smaller. It's to me and my brother, so it could be something to do with wrestling.
Prediction: ???
That's it for the moment. Of course, on Christmas Eve, the tree will be full with presents and when my mum comes around to drop off her presents, the tree will get massive. In other words, I'm being spoilt this year for reasons I'd rather not delve into - nothing bad I've done! (which basically gives it away) Again, feel free to post yours here!
Cheers.

PS. Don't try and guess my pressies please - if you get them right, I'll be annoyed. Thanks.

My wife has bought me two GBA games, a video, Frank Skinner's biography (autobiography?) Super Furry Animals DVD, Operation. Possibly other stuff too, I don't know for sure.
Last year I played and got very far on south park before crimbo. But after the fun crimbo fun wore off it was traded in straight away.
MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm..........presents...
I have a rare few presents materialising. They put them all out on Christmas Eve normally. But my "main" present is out, and I am very smug with it.
Present #1 - Large box. Rattles. Only thing I've asked for that's large enough - PS2. Superb.
Present #2 - DVD shaped DVD. I'm betting the Mummy Ultimate Edition, becuase it's heavier than your average 1 or 2 disc DVD.
That's it for now! Whoop, PS2-age.
