Presents!

[Hickory]

What'd you get?

I got two xbox games: Titanfall and Rise of the Tomb Raider. And lots of books - including the Long Patrol! Star Wars t-shirt, MARVEl t-shirt. Yup. I don't know what to do first. Finish the first TR game so I can play the second? Enjoy Battlefront? Anyway....

[LT Sandpaw]

Hm, well I got some super sour candy, and some new boxing gloves, and a new punching bag. (I can't use my little brother anymore. JK) A study guide book for the ASVAB test, a new electric razor (Thank goodness), and a few other little things like batteries and such.

That's about it.

Adele's 21. (SO! HAPPY!) Leg warmers (Or are they arm warmers? I can't tell ) Drawing stuff (A book on how to draw manga animals, a big thing of markers, a drawing pad, and an adult coloring book - I think my grandmother mixed me and my sister up But I like drawing too, so we're all good.) Three pairs of tie dye leggings (Blue, purple, and black/white), a short neon pink shirt that says 'New York City Ballet' on it, and a purple tank top with the same, and, the best thing of all - The leotard I've been wanting for forever! Really happy about that. (And hey, I won't look quite so much like like nerdy girl at dance anymore. *Evil grin*) a Complete Pilates kit - It has those stretchy bands! YAY! The Princess Bride (Book & movie, yays), a laptop battery (In all honesty I thought it was something completely different when it was wrapped. It was a bit of a let down, but my old laptop battery was awful so it's cool.) and a toe scrunchy thingy. Also the boxed set of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' and I got another pair of ballet shoes. Even though I just moved into my 4.5s because I tore up my 4s completely last week.

Overall, mostly dance stuff. Which is awesome. (The sad thing? My grandparents and sisters gave my mom money to find something I would like for Christmas.) I didn't get a few books I was hoping for, but meh. I've waited this long, I can wait until April or next Christmas. Or for the library.

And this is really long and I'm half embarrassed. This sounds like like a lot more than it actually is.

[Wylder Treejumper]

Let's see... My biggest present was a new composite bow for my violin, which I really needed as the bow that came with my violin was warped. I also got a $20 steam gift card, some very nice Pilot pens and mechanical pencils, a new dress shirt (I tend to go through a couple a week), a solo mute for my violin, a year's subscription to Reader's Digest (my sister got it for me, but I think she just wants the jokes), and a shirt with a Stormtrooper riding a snowmobile.

Oh, and also a Princess Leia button that either calls you a stuck up, half-witted, scruffy looking nerf herder when you press it or says "I'd just as soon kiss a wookie!"

[Skyblade]

Woah...you guys get a LOT of things for Christmas! Is it the same for your birthday? That's seriously a lot of stuff...

You all must be really good students who please your parents

[LT Sandpaw]

What did you get Sky?

[Jetthebinturong]

Nay. I think it's just that they spend a lot of money on my brother and they feel like I should get just as much. To be fair though, books are generally far more expensive in America than in the UK, and not just in terms of currency differences.

[The Skarzs]

Unfortunately it wouldn't be cheaper to order books through UK and have them shipped here. . . Country-to-country shipping isn't cheap.

I got:
A toss-around flatcap that I will use for everything.
A comic strip book.
An electrice razor from my sisters. (Do I sense a hint of something, Peri?)
Grinding wheels for my grinder.
Cutting wheels for my grinder.
Two pairs of pants.
One sweater vest.
A jar of chocolate hazelnut spread that is not Nutella but is just as good; one and a half pounds' worth.
Dust mask filters. ( )
And a chocolate bar to replace the one my sister ate.

[Skyblade]

@Jet: Oh

Thank you for asking, Sand! Nothing so far, but that's because my parents (wisely) ask for my preference, and I just haven't chosen. Besides a piccolo, which is out of price range, there's nothing I want. I'll probably ask for sheet music for Jules Mouquet's La Flute de Pan.

[Wylder Treejumper]

^^ You know you can print that up for free on the IMSLP, right? Since its copyright is expired, it's public domain.

[Hickory]

Oh, and for my b-day I got the full Kane Chronicles set.

[Banya]

You all made a hauling.
My family makes a big deal out of Christmas.  Some of the most exciting presents from my parents and my mom's side of the family include:
really nice over-the-head headphones
new graphite pencils
fine-point markers in every colour
some miscellaneous kitchen things for my apartment, which will please my roommates
a hair straightener
a business suit skirt with a nice top
a Captain America t-shirt and Marvel sweatpants
Peter Pan-esque ankle boots

I'm glad that everyone seemed to like their presents from me.  I bought my dad a set of tea strainers so that he can drink the loose-leaf Turkish tea I brought back for him from Istanbul.

Tomorrow I have Christmas with my dad's side of the family, so it's happening all over again.

[Hickory]

Oh, you got MARVEL stuff too? I got a SHIELD shirt. For the helicarrier maintenance crew. So I can cosplay. Heh.

[Skyblade]

Those are cool gifts, you guys! (And is it seriously normal to get that many things for Christmas? Wow! )

Haha Wylder, I already knew that, but thank you! It's appreciated I have photocopies, but I'd like the original, because... it's my favorite flute solo
