Some clothing (a business I couldn't care about)
Need for Speed the Run (who's update hasn't worked for me so far)
F1 2011 (bit outdated now)
EasyCap 2.0 Capture Card (that isn't working currently, and doesn't work with my Windows 7 laptop)
Top Gear Annual 2012 (which is OK)

Not too brilliant for me. And I really need a PSN card for GT5...I have more coming on Boxing Day though.
 
Other than the DFGT I'm hoping to get, nothing else :( Well, perhaps my cousins will give me a sweater :lol:
 
Car it's self is nice, but that color seafoam green mega metallic looks ugly.

The actual car doesn't look green at all, nor does it look too metallic. It's just the way the picture was taken.
 
Yeah, only if my Maiden T-Shirt wasn't too big. :grumpy: :P

:lol:

Here's what I got, from my mother. Apologies for the image quality..

Have one on me! :D
 
I got a bunch of assorted snacks, a couple of books, a Minolta 88CV model :drool:, and a Toshiba Thrive which is like an iPad. :) Oh and $30 ITunes cards and $60 PS cards.
 
NFS: The Run
BF3
PAUL 2 disc special edition
XBOX wired controller
£15 iTunes voucher

They're all the ones worth mentioning.
 
some BOMB new pillows to replace the ones I've been using for 10+ years
Maple Leafs t shirt ant hat from my brother
A flannel shirt
Socks
Boxers
Case of Arnold Palmer Half/Half


I find when you get older xmas is less about big ticket presents and more about enjoying the small ones. So glad everybody actually listened this year when I asked them not to buy me much.
 
Just doing a little guestimation here. From what looks to be under the tree, I have a large unidentifiable box that can't be for me, and two envelopes of money. One from my grandparents in Greece who can't see me all the time because they're too old and it's too far for them to travel. I understand that. Then another from another set of grandparents in Florida who can't be bothered to see me once every now and then, and people tell me they love me, however I have yet to see an example besides the money sent every holiday.
 
A hoodie
A Tshirt
A new Chair
A $20 Gamestop card
A Gym membership lol
A pair of nice headphones

I see other people posting things and I feel very fortunate to get these things.
Merry Christmas.

I forgot and a 2GB stick of ram.

I'd give anything to be able to spend one more Christmas with any of my grandparents...be happy for what you do have today.
 
I got a motorola atrix (I'm paying the contract, we're not rich.) The first app I downloaded was the gtp app. I think I might be addicted.

- A Sekonic L-308S light meter which I asked for from my parents. I went out and shot a film on one of my old cameras today using it and it is very nice, fits in pocket and extremely light.

- 3 Kodak ISO 200 35mm films

- Some Photography and Architecture books

- Some oil paints and paintbrushes from my brother which I appreciated a lot

- A photo album which I've already half-filled, but now I'll fill the rest as I take more photos

- £70 Cash, I'll save some for film developing (I can't develop colour) and for going out, and try and save a bit for uni

- A calender (obviously)
 
I got two shirts (one plain white shirt, another white shirt but with a four-leaf clover on it, which I don't like, but I don't feel like changing the shirt for another one), three pairs of Adidas bare socks, which I've wanted for a while already, and a pair of shorts, which are a bit small for me.
 
I don't get presents anymore. It'll all be money and gift cards to Best Buy, or Frickers, or something like that. Hopefully I get one to Arrow Wine so I can get liquored up.
 
I got a new guitar (Ibanez RG series) (yes, I am a lefty)

LOADS of candy

Rocksmith (For those who don't know, It's basically like Guitar Hero, but with a real guitar) It really does help improve your guitar skills. You should check it out!

10$ Itunes gift card

a bunch of cool shirts

and thats just about it :sly:
 
Very happy this christmas, i got some headphones, diesel aftershave, socks, Ed sheerans album, some other little stuff and my dad is buying me a new car :D just need to figure out what i want
 
A Braun Series 3 Shaver, some men's toiletries, clothes, a bunch of DVDs and £70 which I will use to get a few more things next week.


I still haven't got my dad's present yet, but I have a good idea what it might be.

True that, I spent more on my mum and dad this year than they spent on me yet all I've been looking forward to this christmas is them opening their present. Giving is better than receiving.
 
I got:

- $70 in gift cards and cash
- Lots of shortbread 👍
- A framed parchment copy of my favorite church hymn
- The Big Books of Top Gear from 2010 and 2011 (already read all the way through both...I cried laughing)
- A blue I Am the Stig zippered hoodie to compliment my black T-shirt :D
- DiRT 3 (PS3)
- A bucket mute for my trombone
- A straight mute for my euphonium
- And the big ticket item, a CAD u37 studio recording mic! :D The only problem with it is Audacity doesn't like it that much... (help appreciated :dopey: )
 
Go Pro Hero 2 Motorsports edition
Cash
Cards
Dirt 3
Hangover 2 and Super 8 Blu Rays
Some clothes
and the fact that my parents continue to pay for college. Pretty good presents.
