Time for that annual thread where we share our hardcore earnings. I received Pokemon Omega Ruby (albeit early), a 32 gig 29.75 gig SD card for my phone, and 50 dollars from my dear ol' dad And I received Super Smash Bros 3D, a few shirts, and about 60 dollars from dear ol' mom. Plus miscellanious moneys from relatives. Merry Christmas to all! Share away!

Got quite a bit, this year: $200 a new set of pajamas, and a scarf a coffee maker a cube snake puzzle (hard to put this thing down. ) a small set of legoes. a few goodies I got on the side that arrived not too long ago: a set of non-photo blue pencils, and a D-Arts Black Zero figure. Not a bad haul, so far... I'm hoping to augment it during the post-sales, tomorrow.

I got a bluetooth speaker, a Galaxy Tab 4, some money, some socks, and some food. The tablet is really the only memorable thing, and I won the speaker in a White Elephant exchange, which was awesome. Those are usually supposed to suck, but I needed speakers.

I already bought my own Christmas earlier in the year, having bought Smash 3DS and Alpha Sapphire with my own work money, so I didn't get much in the way of presents:
What really matters to me this holiday season, more than ever, is my family and friends. I've had some unfortunate circumstances happen to my father, so he won't be in the picture for a year or so, and right now my family is what really made my Christmas work celebrating.

I received a coffee can full of quarters from my Dad, along with socks and soap. My Mom Got me alot of nice button up shirts and pants. Miranda got me a barnes and noble gift card. I did pretty well I thought. The main thing is everyone liked what I got them. That's my favorite part. My brother and I bought mom a 52in TV at great expense because due to some circumstances we couldn't get her what we wanted to get her last year. I got my Dad two heavy duty thermoses and food he likes. Got Miranda a batman game, several cheap necklaces, several cute little animal figures, cake decorating things, and a Build a Bear gift card.

I didn't get much in the post-christmas sales, yet, but I found a small number of things. I got a bag of holiday chocolates (why can't they reese's cups in 50z bags 'round this time, I'll never know. ), a tin of European cookies (I usually get one or two, if I feel like it), a Peach amiibo, and for a lego fix, I got the Lonely Mountain set from The Hobbit. Normally, I'd get some graphic novels/manga, but I came into 3 volumes of Dick Tracy, a few weeks ago, and it's time I got to reading them.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot I got a Nook until Loken mentioned his gift card! And I stayed up all night reading it, too. Let's see if I can brick it before next Christmas! Between Mr. Ninja and me, we also have about a gallon combined of different bottles of hot sauce. There was one bottle that was pretty much just straight pepper heat, with no other flavor, and the weird foreigner in the house just puts it on everything. Dunno about you guys, but Ninja and I like hot sauce with some flavor to it, not just eating liquid, flavorless, hot pepper.

This year I only asked for gift cards, basically to make it easy on my family this season (and also so I could get rare amiibos too >_>). For the most part, that's what I got...except from my parents, who in addition to money got me an odd assortment of items including basically cheap toys, Monopoly, and an outdated edition of Trivial Pursuit. Pretty weird. Now, I get where they're coming from (I'm a fan of board/card games; remember when I had the iscribble crew playing CAH every weekend? ), and I'm thankful they thought about me of course, but in retrospect I kinda wish I'd specified games I wanted so that they could've had more of a direction to go off of y'know? On the other hand, my sister got me a Ness figurine! We're both Earthbound fans so she knew I wanted one; basically she's just the best. So overall I got a pretty great haul this Christmas! Dashe: Hot sauce bottles, for Christmas? : O Wow. As a hot sauce aficionado myself, I gotta say I'm pretty jealous. >: P Did you get any ones in particular that stood out to you two?
