I hope you all have a great Christmas, but mine cannot begin until my bloody dad wakes up. He only went to sleep half an hour ago after a marathon on the chat rooms, so I probably won't be able to open them until after 10am :(

1) What did you get in your stocking?

I got:

11 mini Mars bars
11 mini Milky Way bars
5 mini Snickers bars
7 mini packets of Maltesers
1 packet of chocolate coins

and in my mum's stocking:

bodyspray for MEN (:D)
Simpsons Slam Dunk card game
7 chocolate novelties
1 packet of chocolate coins
a pen

2) What presents did you get?

Well, here's what sits ominously under my tree, along with my predictions:

a very large, flat present, my brother has one also
- could be a very big selection box...

a round, not-so sturdy present
- could be a chocolate present :D

- two cards were wrapped up, for some reason , containing money, I hope :P

a present between me and my brother, after some shaken I think I figured it out
- a box of chocolates

a present in the shape of a selection box
- so I have come to the conclusion that it's a selection box :D

- Spiderman DVD

- Devil May Cry PS2 game

- Falling Down DVD

- Back To The Future DVD Box set :)

- Something, either a DVD or game, hopefully Renegade :D

After some groping, I found out:
- Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament 2003, Vice City and MoH: Allied Assault in the same box :D

Oh, and a tube of mini-eggs, or something like that.

This may just be my best christmas yet :D

Later guys, now I have to wait for my dad to get up :(

I got my Christmas present on monday and it was $200.00
I bought lots of pointless junk with that money along with other gifts I wanted to give people. Christmas doesn't seem so Christmasy this year....

I feel ill, I really do. I think I got motion sickness from Morrowind, because my PC is so good, and so fluid, that even in 1840 x 1460 (I think) resolution, it's as smooth as James Bond and makes me dizzy. Because my monitors so big. And then I ate the biggest dinner in the world. I really do feel sick.

But reading what everybody else got, I really do feel privelidged that I got the best presents.

Let's hope word doesn't spread that I had to pay £400 of it...

The Edge subscription was my biggest surprise!

I got a game for each of my systems. The Two Towers for my PS2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Special Edition for my PC and Timesplitters 2 for my GC. Been playing them all day. I also got a CD, a brand new coat (at last) and a plentiful amount of sweats and chocolate.
