Title: It's Christmas!
Post by: coasterkrazy on December 25, 2007, 05:10:24 AM
Well, it's officially Christmas in Charas Time (it's been a couple hours for me now in EST). So I'm making the usual annual "It's Christmas!" thread, even though there have been a couple others. But they started before it was actually Christmas.

I'm going to bed now and will post what I got when I get it. I've already gotten the Simpsons Movie and money from my couple of Christmas Eve exchanges.

Merry Christmas Charas! :)

Well, we each opened two gifts on Christmas Eve. So far I've raked up:
$50 Gift Card for Wal-Mart
A really nice jacket from Wilson's Leather ^_^

I'll get the rest of my gifts in a few hours >_>

Post by: FFL2and3rocks on December 25, 2007, 06:24:09 AM
Yay, Christmas!

I won't be able to open anything until later (it's midnight now for me, I open stuff in the morning). Except a $50 gift card for Borders I got from my aunt up in Oregon. Hopefully Santa won't take a dump in my chimney or something.

We haven't opened presents yet, but so far I see two extremely big boxes.

Christmas lateness time:

From my mom:
-A hair straightener that works on wet hair (ah, the joys of femaleness)
-A Full Metal Alchemist calendar (am I shameless enough to hang it up? well, yes I am ^^)
-Lindt chocolate snowmen
-A really comfy hand-crocheted hat
-Cinnamon disks
-'His Dark Materials' trilogy *glares at roland*.... alas, with the movie cover.... *gag* But now I don't have to scrounge at the library every time I wanna reread it

From my sister:
-A really nice Squall figurine (the sibs JUST discovered Newbury comics, it seems... *shrug*)
-Pocky
-Lindt mint-dark chocolate truffles

From my brother:
-Plushies of Sephiroth and Vincent from FFVII (how did that villain suddenly become cuddly?)
-Vincent figurine (I think they overestimate my FF enthusiasm....)

Of course, my brother bought my sister a Sora figurine, and I was forced to beat the crap out of it using the Sephy plush. ^^ Never had such a fangirltastic Christmas. It was nice, though-- my mom works at a church an a funeral home owner gave her a gift certificate for a really big hunk of prime rib from a fancy Italian market.... best Christmas dinner ever, and I don't usually eat beef.

It looks like a tiny gun. You pull the trigger assuming it shoots the laser, but the trigger shocks you. You have to pull the hammer to shoot the laser.
