So...What Did Everyone Get for Christmas?

[rdreynolds]

Thought this would be fun to post...how did we all do for Christmas loot-wise? Here's what I can remember right off the top of my head...

Video Games:
- Geometry Wars Galaxies (Wii)
- The Simpsons Game (Wii) (From our pal Eric)
- Cruisin' (Wii)
- 4 Wii 2000 Point Cards. No joke, I now have 10,000 Wii Points to blow. Bring on Pro Wrestling, dammit!

Pinball
- No Spider-Man pin (at $4,000 I probably would have took it back anyway), but did get some nifty parts to trick out the Whirlwind.

DVD:
- Simpsons Movie
- Wow, weird. Only one DVD this year! One year I got, no joke, TWENTY FIVE.

Books:
- Quiet Strength (Tony Dungy Bio)
- Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling (Bret Hart Bio - Yes, Mrs. Deal imported it from Amazon.ca!)

Gift Certificates:
- Oodles of Chick-Fil-A cards! Yay Chicken Biscuits, breakfast of champions!
- Steak & Ale

Food & Booze:
- Reese's Christmas Trees
- Brach's Chocolate Stars (YES!)
- Giant Bottles of Absolut and Crown Royal from my boss at my real job
- Smoothie Bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH HELL YES!!!!! For the uninitiated, these are like Reese Cups, but have a butterscotch/peanut butter coating. I loved these as a kid, and could never, EVER find them. Again, Mrs. Deal to the rescue, who got me no less than a CASE of the things!

Other shtuff:
- Colts watch (from Trash Losagain)
- Potty Time Teddy Bear (From Blade)
- Brother Midnight T-shirt (Blade!)
- Ton of Vintage Wrestling Figures (Thanks, Dr. Keith, Derek, and Sean!!!!)
- New Colts AND Reds Hats!

And the biggest thing...Mrs. Deal finally caved in and I will be getting WWE 24/7. Woo Hoo! They're installing this weekend.

Wow! That's far too much stuff for a schmoe like me!

How did everyone else do?

Mrs. Deal was way, WAY too kind.

[Sigma: Current SRW Champ!]

I got a new digital camera, MP3 Player, Legend of Zelda DVD, Indian Blanket, $10, Tenchi Muyo - Ryo Ohki DVD Set.

And the Press Your Luck DVD Game from Blade Braxton. I gotta find him a good, cheap woman to set him up with. I wonder if Linda Hogan would go.

[Tyfo]

I got a DVD recorder, new computer chair, memory card for the camera, several wrestling DVDs, Simpsons Movie, a couple shirts, Best Buy gift card, and money.

I then used some of the money to go buy the Raw Anniversary DVD at Wal Mart today, since they have the bonus disk with the whole first episode of Raw

[Gopher Mod]

Let's see:
$430 ($330 in checks and cash, $100 in a Wal-Mart debit card; once I sell my iPod nano, I will get a 26" Vizio HDTV from Wal-Mart)
A new engine for my 1996 Buick Century (the cam shaft broke in it, rendering the original engine useless; my grandfather is paying for the engine and the labor to put it in)
The Orange Box (PC game, includes highly regarded games Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal)
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns (PS2) (which is a very good game, and would have gladly paid $50 for it)
and....
Deodarant (joy. just what i wanted.)


Also, Mr. Seidelman, nice pick-up from Blade. I wish I could play you on it, but we're on different sides of the country.

I have received "Nacho Libre" and "Bladerunner" dvd (Aunt), a $30 gift certificate for JB-Hi Fi (Sister), $100 (Grandparents) and i have to wait till Sunday when i return from my vacation to receive Super Mario Galaxy from my Parents.

[thepaywindah]

Good gravy! All of you guys made out like bandits! (Why the hell are bandits known for their making out? Quite the odd skill to be associated with robbery.) But I'm not complaining, as I was perfectly content with my holiday.

Got some jeans, some pants, a CD case (my nephew bought it for me even though I use mp3s almost exclusively, but definitely the thought that counts), a travel mug for my coffee/hot tea addiction, some of my favorite brand of hot tea, a few iTunes gift cards, a movie theatre gift card, and a Starbucks card.

And RD, you got a game called Geometry Wars for the Wii? Was Lee Carvalo's Putting Challenge sold out or something?

[bonedaddycool]

A ton of wine, vodka and Jager....and people wonder why I drink so much....
The Jericho book
A Red Sox toothbrush (for reals!!!)

[Cibernético II]

I love Chick-Fil-A! Best damn chicken sandwich anywhere.

I got a Wii! I wasn't expecting to get one, but my mom got one.
plus 4 games: Mario Party 8, The Simpsons Game, Godfather: Blackhand Edition, Mertoid Prime 3

and Phoenix Wright for the DS
new shoes, temporary tattoo pens (fun), a foot messager. a bowling shirt, a couple of other things

[bradyjames12001]

PERFECT place to do my first post...lol...

I got the 6 Disc Dale Earnhardt DVD, Best Buy and Starbucks Gift Cards(The Best Buy one I promptly used to buy the Raw 15th Anniversary DVD with), the Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader game, shirts and pants, and....get ready for it....

The Grand Masters of Wrestling First Blood DVD. Yes, the bargain bin piece of crap DVD that was inducted. And yes, it may be the worst thing I have ever seen.

[leprechaun106317]

wow you people got a ton of stuff! All I asked for and got was:

The Wrestlecrap Book Of Lists
a Wii Component Cable
The RAW 15th Anniversary DVD

[default]

I got...
The Simpsons Season 3 and Season 4 DVD sets.
Scarface: Two-Disc Anniversary Edition
$5 from my grandmother (who told me I could feel free to use it to buy "a few packs of cigarettes" with it)
And an amazon.com gift card for an unknown amount.

Not a great haul, but eh... I blew close to a grand two months ago on a new computer, so I got myself a Christmas gift early.

Cool on Mrs. Deal! I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that one, it's an amazingly extensive and brutally honest read.

Cool idea for this thread, I feel like it's the first day back at school after Christmas in First Grade and I'm writing in my Journal about my holiday. I got:

Books:
-The WrestleCrap Book of Lists, of course!
-The Onion: Our Dumb Planet, which might give the Book of Lists a run for its' money, humour-wise.
-An Uncle John's Bathroom Reader

Booze:
-12-pack mix of beer from a local microbrewery, plus the biggest bottle of Scotch I've ever seen along with a shot glass, some tumblers (glasses, not acrobats), and a serving tray. I'm now officially a whisky snob.

Clothes:
-This sweet old-timey looking bowler hat from a bunch of my weird friends. Big Bully Busick would be proud.
-A pair of Khakis along with a Gift Card to a local clothing store.
-Socks, which I ask for every year along with underwear. You can never have enough.

Random other stuff like this sweet little cappucino-maker, lotsa chocolate & licorice allsorts, etc.

No DVDs or Video Games this year. Ah well, have to rectify that with a trip to HMV this week, looking at the new Futurama DVD and The Simpsons Game.

[Deleted]

The Simpsons Game (Wii)
Simpsons Movie
A new Sudoku book
Jaromir Jagr jersey
New Jeff Gordon jacket (which has to be returned because it was too small)
$60 in Best Buy gift cards.
$50 cash
a new digital camera
and something called Rubiks Revolution

plus my mother surprised me and my brothers with an Xbox 360.

[Paul Servo]

PIRATES OF THE CARIBEAN3on DVD
SPIDERMAN3 on DVD
OCEANS12&13 on DVD

UNCLE JOHN'S BATHROOM READER??? Oh, which one did you get? I love those books!!

[Celtic Heat]

I KNOW!!! It's one of the History-focused ones, it has everything from famous people's phobias (did you know Freud was afraid of Ferns?) to the true historical facts about Ninjas. I've been spending a lot of time in the bathroom recently.
