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 :(

Update: The Terry's Chocolate Orange bit the dust early, though 'tap it unwrap it' didn't quite explain why I had to take a hammer to it to get it to break apart. One Mars Bar has also gone the way of my intenstines, has has Christmas Dinner. I feel decidedly bloated.
I'm off next door now to show off my X-Wing piloting skills on Star Wars Rogue Leader which I got my nephew for the Gamecube which his mum got him this year. (I had to get a game for him that I could thrash him at as he's 8 years old and too cocky by far about his platforming skills).
This weekend I are'll be mostly getting a couple more PS2 games for meself, namely Lord of the Rings (EA) and Giants Citizen Kabuto which has been on my wishlist for a while but I've never gotten around to getting. Perhaps a couple more as well, the choice is a bit overwhelming at present.
Hope you all got you wanted for Chrimbo, wishing you all a good one and a Happy New Year to boot :)
