Merry Crimmus, everyone! Post season's tiding and fat loot in this thread for all to see. I'll do so in a few days after I return to a country where Christmas is the government-recognized holiday it deserves to be, and where snow isn't regularly accompanied by unbelievably hazardous levels of pollution.

Family decided to do Christmas early this year to make everyone envious due to scheduling issues. Main noteworthy gifts:

• Big winter coat. Likely to last me a decade.
• Super Mario 3DS
• iTunes versions of Sonic CD, SA1, and Heroes soundtracks. I'm a little disappointed by the choices in some cases (you felt Robot Carnival and several cutscenes were necessary, but not Egg Hawk or Emperor? Or Invincibility or Speed Up?). First time owning Japanese version of Sonic CD, so I'm looking forward to it.
• $25 Chipotle Gift Card. Sweeeeet.
• Wall-E 3-disc set.
• Cowboys & Aliens. I haven't seen it yet, but the title, cast, and synopsis has me curious by itself.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the lot of you. My gifts were:

-The Adventures Of Tintin 3DS
- Super Mario 3D Land
- 145$ from various sources
- 12 boxes of Cracker Jacks (!)
- Uncle John's 24 Karat Bathroom Reader
- 50$ iTunes Gift Card
- 50$ Gamestop gift card
- Assorted Candies and Chocolates

- I got this shirt. I don't know who it is. I'm guessing Red Skull? It's a great shirt anyway (the photo doesn't do it justice)
- Skyward Sword. Hopefully I can get back into the Zelda spirit for the first time since Wind Waker. This one has a silly name as well, so that's nice. It's my first experience with MotionPlus as well
- A book about maths (because I am a nerd)
- Torchwood DVDs. I've heard mixed things about the series but I'd like to give it a try
- Scott Pilgrim DVD
- Push-up bars, since getting to the gym is tricky these days
- Money + chocolate

I have the unfortunate (?) situation of my birthday being 10 whole days before Christmas, so here's everything I got for both:

• Mario Kart 7
• Super Mario 3D Land
• Super Mario Galaxy (yes, I didn't own it yet)
• Digital alarm clock
• Electric razor (Mooooooom!)
• Electric... dartboard? Wh- what?
• COOKIES!
• 70 Spacebucks (€)
• GUMMIES!
• Lots of chocolate to help me lose some weight
• A whole bunch of since-then discarded wrapping paper

I got:

-Sonic Generations (Couldn't afford to buy it, so I Redbox'd it. Loving it so far. )
-Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (XBox360)
-Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVD
-Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD
-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 DVD
-Toothbrush
-Lots of Snacks

Merry Christmas, one and all!
