What did everyone on the Escapist recieve for Christmas, besides cool badges? Also, what did you give? I bought myself a watch, and got my wife some earrings. What about you? Any weird gifts or anything?

Since I have not yet arrived at Christmas here on the US's East Coast (technically, I have, but it doesn't count until maybe 6 hours from now), I shall list a few of the gifts I got others:

-A portable iPod speaker system for my sister
-A toy lightsaber for my cousin
-A letter opener for my dad (or me, if he wants it not)
-A book for my mom
-A marble egg for my grandmother
-Another book for my grandfather
-......There's more, but not much. And that 'not much' is stuff I can't remember at the moment......

The real man's christmas present.

Edit: Time zones are really weird, It's been christmas day for 20 hours now where I live, and all you Northies (That's the term I just made up fer all you fellows in the Northern Hemisphere) haven't even started it yet.

Oh, and I do think I ended up getting at least one book, judging on what the dull thumps within one box I've found sound like....

It doesn't matter that we're in the Northern Hemisphere, it's that we live East of the International Date Line. If we lived in Japan or Samoa or the Phillippinnes, it would be Christmas already.

Yes, but I wasn't adressing them, as they number somewhere in the low double digits.

Edit: I just checked, there are 6 people in Japan, no people in Samoa and 7 people in the Philippines.

I got a portable Sony music player... it's nice, especially since my iPod was dying. On top of that, I got World in Conflict, The Orange Box, Half-Life, Counter-Strike: Source, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (besides World in Conflict, the above games were gotten through a pre-paid credit card and various sales, like Half-Life for $US0.98 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for ~$US4.00).
