Tomorrow is Christmas. And I can't believe it.

This year has progressed really fast. It feels like I recently started school, and it's christmas. Again.

So why do I like christmas?

I just love being with my family having a great time, a GREAT meal, and then getting various gifts. Though, my grandparents has passed away and the whole family used to gather there. So, christmas will never be the same for me, which is very saddening.

Did you get any gifts yet, or do you have an idea?

I know a gift I'll be getting, and here's how:
I helped my mom clean the room where we would be keeping the christmas tree and such, it was my parents old bedroom and therefore a sort of a storage room. So when she asked me to put an old bag in the drying cabinet along with the other bags, she must have forgot something: she hid a box there.

I read the small postage tag on the box.

1(One) Microsoft Xbox 360 Pro Bundle

I literally danced in joy. :excited:

Since I'm from Sweden, we celebrate christmas the 24th (and also open presents the same day )

GMT+1 kicks your mums butts.

Have a merry merry christmas, and a happy new year!

I just asked for money, for a new PC build. Hopefully I'll get $300 at the least, then on my birthday (Jan. 14), I'll get some more.

I really want to play a modern PC game. I can't even play Morrowind at the moment.

I saw my mom with my present today... she had to lift it with both her arms, stretched... I wonder what it is.

I wished for a Fender Guitar but never really believed I'd get it. And the present was too small for a guitar to be in.

I also revamped an old Gateway with 4200+ X2 that was 'broken' given to me by a neighbor into a suitable gaming for my friend mark who had an aging Dell Dimension 2400, Got another gig of ram in it, painted it red and black, and bought a Radeon X1950Pro off ebay for it for him. He finally can PC game!

I have no idea what my parents got me, they will be shocked come christmas morning :D Got to love surprises!

I asked for a crap ton of CDs (Led Zeppelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis, Foo Fighters, Sam Roberts, Audio Slave, and a few others), Left 4 Dead, and Fallout 3 (for xbox 360 because my computer probably can't run it *cries*)
As for what else I'm going to to get, your guess is as good as mine, but my family is generally good at getting good gifts.

I love Christmas. Cookies, presents, family, pretty lights... what could be better? (don't answer that)

As usual, I will receive what my parents, brothers and sisters will give me, and as usual, it will be complete shit. Well, not complete shit, but I'm sure that will be nothing really impressive, books and stuff, you see.

I want Left4Dead so badly, but I know I won't be getting it, my parents don't know I like that kind of game, and they probably should never know it.
They never knew I "offered" myself the Orange Box last year with the money my sister's ex secretly gave me.

And of course someone has to turn this into a flamewar. I've been a Sony fanboy since I was a wee little tike (hahahaha) when I got my PS1. Getting an Xbox 360 Pro feels better because PS3 is hella expensive. Now I'm not a fanboy of either since I've actually grown out of kindergarden "MY CONSOLE IS BETTER THAN YOURS".
