Default It's Christmassssssss!!

Over in europe we're already celebrating today so I thought I'd start a thread How do you guys celebrate christmas? What presents did you buy/get?

I'll be getting a HD5770(yess finally I can play all the new games ), a 0,7l Belvedere Pomarancza(orange flavour) wodka bottle, 1 DVD and hopefully loads of money

Merry christmas everyone!

Not religious, so I don't celebrate it.

I won't be getting anything from anyone.

But, I did buy Windows 7 for $30 a few weeks ago. I will be buying some cheap games off of Steam while the sale is on... if that counts. I consider those gifts to myself.

Hopefully Samsung will fix my DVD drive. It would be a great present if they can send me a working one. But, I doubt they will. Has been shipped to them for a week or so, and no word back.

I got all 4 seasons of LEXX in DVD ^^

A ****load of games from the steam sales and I won't have time for all of them ><

Also won 120€ in the lottery =)

I don't really celebrate Christmas, but I really enjoy it, I also like listening to Winter songs

YouTube - Halford - We Three Kings

What are you, some kind of freaky Von Trapp family?

j/k mate, in fact, as my siblings and I get older all these presents seem kind of silly. Little kids I understand how they enjoy getting presents and stuff, but 30-somethings who have all the money to buy what they want anyway... I don't know, but its a nice time.

I got some nice DVDs from my wishlist (Tekkon Kinkreet, Paprika), a hardcover of Maus (Recommended! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maus), some good books and the obligatory gloves and socks

Happy holidays, almost done now, just a few more long-winded family dinners to go

i bought myself some games.

Lego Starwars
Lego Indiana Jones
The telltale Monkey Island
Ghostbusters the videogame

Enough for a while.

I enjoy christmas but its primarily a thing to be among family and friends, we have never really done anything with presents as im dutch and we got something else for that.

5th of december there is Saint Nicholas or Sinterklaas as the dutch call it, and thats where children get presents. About 200 years ago some people just found it fun to bring that to America and butcher the name to Santa Clause. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas
