There was talk about a thread like this so I decided to make it.

This year I got:
Chocolates
Socks
A housecoat
A bottle of tequila
10 shot glasses
$650 that im putting towards car insurance

Id say this was a pretty good christmas, now I just have to wait until christmas dinner to ingest delicious turkey.

I was in the same predicament back in September. And I ended up getting an iMac.

Its less money and is more powerful than the MacBook Pro.

We have computers in class so I actually didn't need a laptop to bring to school. Your situation might be different though. Just something to think about.

Re: Christmas Swag
 

No Left 4 Dead?

Re: Christmas Swag
 

I see your point, portability is nice, though. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm


And no Left 4 Dead, though may be getting more gifts tonight.

I hoping that my parents will pay for my next eye contacts and some more good food. we didn't really exchange gifts this year. I went snowboarding today and the champagne powder + sun = the best I could have hoped for.

Re: Christmas Swag
 

My bro got Left 4 Dead on 360 which means I can play with you chumps. Guess I gotsta get a microphone. Any of the Poco crew have a second one?

Re: Christmas Swag
 

I do, but you also need to get Live, which I do in fact have a second one of, but im sure as hell not giving that away. And Fox asked for it first, unless his makeshift repairs mic is holding out fine?

Re: Christmas Swag
 

Since when are you so willing to sell?

Its holding up alright.

Still need to get Left 4 Dead, going to try to get to Rogers to day and get it. Im sure as hell not going anywhere near the mall.

Re: Christmas Swag
 

I caved. Ordered Left 4 Dead on Amazon.

Re: Christmas Swag
 

Peer pressure will do that to you.

But it only has 4 player co-op... I believe 6 of us now have the game. :ohreilly:

Re: Christmas Swag
 

I doubt that we willl all be playing it at the same time

Re: Christmas Swag

Hahah, guess I dropped the ball. There goes that tradition.

From girlfriend~~:
On Stranger Tides (inspiration for Monkey Island games)
Buffy Season 8 comics
Egg Cooker (best gift EVER :D ). Cooks like 7 eggs at once in 10 minutes, no boiling required. Also does poached. It's a work of art and the eggs it makes are to die for!

From mom:
Dressy Blue Shirt
Edibles (Sour Wine Gums, 16 liquor-chocolates, chocolate cherries, beef jerky, Purdy's chocolates)

From brother:
Die Another Day 007 - Blu-ray (Great hi-def movie and worth owning next to Casino Royale)

From first grandma:
Puppy calender
Feroce by Tonino Lamborghini (cologne)
Soooooooooocks
Chocolate-covered sunflower seeds
Stick-on lights
monies

From aunt:
surprise monies!

I haven't even seen my dad or girlfriend's side OR my other grandma, so it's pretty much half the christmas listed. (Stupid snow.) Birthday impending soon, as well!

Re: Christmas Swag
 

:Puke:

Did you just say Die Another Day is a great piece to have next to Casino Royale?

Re: Christmas Swag
 

Yes? It was the best tech-y movie compared to Casino Royale which was the most gritty.

Re: Christmas Swag
 

L4D just shipped. Should be here in a few days. :)

Re: Christmas Swag
 

Make it come faster! By the time you get it we will be done playing it.

Re: Christmas Swag
 

I'm going to kill you.

Re: Christmas Swag

Re: Christmas Swag
 

Dyne, do you find the tea produced by tea brewers to be significantly better than tea bags?

Re: Christmas Swag
 

I'm posting from my new iMac. 2GB memory 320 GB hard drive :)

Re: Christmas Swag
 

Hmm, there isn't a huge difference, but it's definitely there. Tea bags are definitely just for convenience. Metal-based infusers definitely have a cleaner taste. It works best for chai and darker teas. With lighter teas like green and white tea, it doesn't matter as much, I think.
