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 :(

Under the tree I found:

135g box of Tescos Finest English Fudge
Avril Lavigne's 'Let Go' Album on CD
150g box of Weinbrand Bohnen Brandy Filled Chocs
'Dot Bomb' by J. David Kuo (book)
1kg bar of Galaxy
£300 cash

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 :)
