An iPod, Kingdom Hearts II, Yoshi's Island DS, Zelda Twightlight Princess, that Wii Rayman game, a Santa Claus decoration thing that's pretty cute, some shirts with my art on them, chocolates, stress ball things that glow, fuzzy socks, Stephen King books, and Dino Crisis II. All awesome gifts.
I'm still waiting on actually getting a Wii.

Shirts, basketball shorts, some socks, pair of sandals, candy, scratch tickets, some cash, posters of Hawaii, an official Nintendo CEL art piece of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, not to mention a few things from friends online including a nice looking fountain and a Christmas card. Here's the thing, though. I was feeling kind of daring to put some rather expensive things on my Christmas list this year, so I put down a Wacom tablet and a Yamaha DGX-620 portable grand keyboard.
...They actually got me those.
Hm, still no chance of getting a Wii anytime soon, though. But I won't be complaining for a long while now that I have a new 88-key keyboard and a tablet.

Well, this Christmas I got a new Wii. In fact, the vast majority of my presents were Wii accessories or games. Took a bit of time to set up, as we had to clean the shelf to make room for it. So far I have Zelda: TP and Super Monkey Ball, along with 2000 Wii points, a Classic Controller, a controller sleeve, and an extra Wiimote and Nunchuk. In addition, I also got Yoshi's Island DS, as well as a bunch of geeky T-shirts, and a carrying bag for my laptop.
I've currently set up this Wii for internet access. While the typing may be a chore, the browser does have a nice auto-complete feature, as buggy as it can be sometimes.
Funfact: This took 8 minutes to type.
Edit: Also got Excite Truck on the 26th.

Lessee... I got:
• Okami (YES) • Yoshi's Island DS (Thanks, Kurtis XD) • A Canon PowerShot digital camera • Cash ($40 so far) • Metal picture frames • Some books • Victoria's Secret toiletries • British chocolates (Cheers to Bry) • Cards • A scarf • Cookies • Dinner + Movie with Kurtis
And I think that's it so far. We're still gonna go see some more friends and family, I think. Supposedly, we're going to Yuma, AZ to visit more relatives on Wednesday.

For a guy that wasn't expecting much, I sure got a lot... - $50 in cash
- $75 in Barnes & Noble gift cards
- A new Periodic Table shirt (updated for two new officially named elements too!)
- Technically, a new calculator, a TI Voyage 200 - I received this 2 months in advance
- Oakland Raiders Monopoly game
- Jumbo Sudoku book
- Bathrobe
- Cell phone - However, I am potentially exchanging this for a different one of the same brand
- $5 of lottery tickets redeemable for $2
- Oakland Raiders mug
- New dry erase board - I received this 2 days in advance
- New socks and underwear (a tradition at our house)
- Candy galore
I think that's it. (Can't you tell I like the Oakland Raiders, even though they've been horrible this year? =P)

Never really been the type to motion toward what is gained on Christmas Day; though this year, many are putting it into portions of serious open business. It's hard to manage to say what was wanted, and what was obtained in the same idea. However, either way that things went; it all flew good, and had it's own take on things. So regardless of what it was, everything definetly shines like never before and has it's own special little twinkle.
- A bunch of clothes, you know, those inevitable things that everyone has to go through on Christmas day. They aren't really "wanted", however they are given regardless of feelings. Perhaps it's a parents way of saying, "What you wear looks horrible, so heres a new style until we deem it unworthy at next Christmas"
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas. Wanted this for awhile, merely because of some of the goodies that came packed with it. A lot of people disfavor Clancy's class of games and the war like flavor behind them. The story lines are indeed to complicated to really be cared for. America at war with some Middle Eastern or Latino country, some bombers here, some nukes there; it's all the same for Clancy. However, this game actually took place in a very nice brand new enviroment, open ended and widely spaced in Las Vegas. It's interesting to see the way the Next-Gen consoles can portray it's beauty. Also, it's little addition of face mapping with the Xbox Live Vision Camera is quite appealing.
- An Xbox Live Vision Camera; while small and expensive, the little Camera packs a punch. It really is to new in the season to have any importance, but as of now it's used a bit in some games and can also put your face and emotions into the game itself. It's an interesting take on things, however taxing to actually make it work. Other than that, nice way to chat to someone when boredom runs steep.
- Some Lazer HP Mouse; now while this might sound like a corny gift, it should be taken into consideration that the last mouse was from 1995 and contained a very dirty rubber mouse ball. So that's a very large improvement from 11 and almost 12 years ago.
- An Animaniacs Season One Set: Not to sure about this one. Though it's the thought that "matters". The show used to be hilarious, something that everyone would gather around and deeply enjoy. Was bought by a sister, so it goes to show that not much thought was placed; though, who knows, it may bring back many a memory.
- A box of Godiva Chocolates, and enough can be said with that merely by the title. Unless there is some metaphor inside it somewhere.
It's been in this period, that with the Christmas bounty done and off hand; that many this year were in the run for consoles. Be it a Wii, 360, or a PS3; the war was finally at it's peak. It's impossible it seems to really get fair reviews in any source though; each one seems to be piled in another area, finding their love in some brand name. So far, out on top would seem to be the Wii; coming in with nice additions to it's online zone. It's hilarious though, to see so many freak out over this capability. (They'll get used to it in time). As for the 360, it's Live capabilities keep up, and so does it's use of wireless devices and implants to help it along. The PS3 is like that of a black 360, except with Blue-Ray tucked inside. Deep down though, everyone wants a Wii; even if you're a hardcore fan of the other. For what? Well, to see that controller, to feel how it goes. Even though there was none this season, waiting til mid next year can decide what games will work and what may not.

I GOTTED A SUPER AWESOME MAKEUP BOX Double-scoop ice cream That's probably my favorite gift. It's really pretty- black, too. And it's got a lock with a combination. :] "Santa" got me a pretty little makeup table with a mirror My mini claw machine would also be one of my favorites, but it came broken. Drat /: And then a track phone, some pjs, a sweatshirt, and a card-making kit. Some shirts and winter stuff as well. It was a relitively light Xmas, but it was one of my favorites ^^

The only reason I'd get an Xbox 360 is for Banjo-Threeie, whenever that thing comes out. And maybe I'd mod it so I can have virtually every 16-bit game in existence.
