Well, it's Christmas Eve, so I figured it was about time to ask folks what they were up to for the holidays and allow folks to answer whenever these questions become relevant.
After all the gift-giving, what did you get? What'd you give others? Did you go anywhere special? Did any family members fly in?
One of my wrapped presents is a triangle probably made out of wood and I really want to know what is.
1 – DragoniteI spent my Christmas Eve at my first day of work, corralling shopping carts one one of the busiest grocery shopping days of the year. Was awesome. I wish I remembered to bring my Pokéwalker, though, I think I did like eight miles up and down the parking lot :/
Tomorrow . . . let's see, Grandma's coming over, which should always be fun. I'll be going to Church for the first time in a year, which out to be interesting, too. Brother's a theatre nerd and an aspiring violin nerd, so I got him a violin version of the Wizard of Oz score. Sister's getting a pair of ludicrously fuzzy slippers. Got Mom and Dad a book on Obama . . . which I hope wasn't a bad move because I couldn't tell from the synopsis if it was conservative, liberal or neutral.
So, the reactions tomorrow should be fun :>
I felt rather groggy this morning, but it was a rather enjoyable morning of gift-giving.
Overall, here's my haul for Christmas at Mom's house:
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Yoshi's New Island
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
How to Train Your Dragon (BD)
Dante's Peak (BD)
Indiana Jones tetralogy (BD)
Blu-ray player
Tool set for my car
Travel coffee mug
$90 cash specifically to go towards games/movies
Amusingly, I received two cards in the mail from the same relative, both for Christmas.
We're going to be doing Christmas at Dad's house tomorrow afternoon, along with my birthday. We'll do my birthday at Mom's on Saturday.
2 – SpikyEaredPichu96, DragoniteI got clothes -.- (My sapphire game i got a few weeks ago was my early chrismas present to myself)
1 – DragoniteMy parents really wasted their money on me by buying me a bag of M&M's and a bag of Cheetos as my Christmas presents. Other than that, I got Pokemon Omega Ruby, Pokemon Y, a $30 GameStop gift card, and a St. Louis Cardinals T-shirt.
1 – DragoniteI got AlphaSapphire, the ORAS guide book, a couple of shirts, a big tub of white cheddar cheese balls, a $50 GameStop gift card, and $100 cash.
