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 didn't really look forward to x-mas this year as all my family (bar me and my mum) are living in America. The whole present thingy didn't really seem as special as it is when they are all here. I don't expect tons of presents like some of the lists on here I am just grateful that someone has thought about what to buy me and seems more special.
Well here's what I got anyways:

Red Hot Chilli Peppers 'By the Way'
System of a down 'Steal this album'
Foo Fighters 'One by one'
£15 HMV Voucher
$40
CK aftershave

Ok, this is what I was guessing I'd get which is fine and I would be really thankful... but then I open up a present which cost more than I'm bloody worth lol
-----------------------
Pure silver chain :)

I'd rather of spent time with all my family as it wasn't as special as it usually is :( I thanked the person like 20 times who got me the chain, they got a little annoyed and told me to shut up I said it enough and am starting to **** them off! lol
