I'ma going to my Godparents house with my whole family, and then return to our house at about 1 A.M. to open presents. My oldest brother came home from college last week. I don't expect to get anything that's on my list, and I hope my family doesn't argue like past years. >>

Merry Christmas to everyone else!

My cousin's coming over on Sunday. We'll open presents in the afternoon, then go to a party at my aunt and uncle's house.

...What? You were expecting a longer description then that? You lose! Good day, sir!

Me, my family, my sister, her boyfriend, my uncle and his girlfriend are going to celebrate christmas in our home.
I think we will get nice christmas presents and good company even this year!

Have you thought about what's going to happen next year?
I really have and i think next year is going to be a special and unforgetable year to me.

Meh, I can discuss presents, as I already got mine like...a month ago. @.@ (We usually open our presents a week or two early anyway, but this year we decided to to this extreme since my older brother was moving out)

I got a new stereo system (since my old one broke), a jacket, and money. Not a whole lot, but I'm extremely hard to get presents for, and we had to pay for furniture, appliances, and the like for my brother.

As for what we're going to do for Christmas, we're going to stay at home (well, with the traffic out there, you're kind of forced to. Take the beltway. It's basically a 60+ mile circular parking lot (it usually is, but even moreso right now) from what I've heard from one of my dad's friends) and stuff ourselves full with Christmas dinnerey goodness. Fairly uneventful, but then again, we really don't celebrate Christmas on Christmas.

Well, with one day till Christmas, I can say with utmost certainty that I will get Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Rush, as a matter of fact I'm looking at the packages that I suspect are the respective games.

Anyway to the topic at hand, we will be spending Christmas at our house which is the first in what seems like forever. I guess staying at home is the special event, and as for someone special, well, my granny is coming to our house this hear whereas normally, we go up to her house to celebrate Christmas. Finally, no I don't believe in Santa but at times, I think it would be nice if he did exist; I mean a human that felt such compassion and kindness to his fellow man would be great!

Well both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are busy with my family. Tomorrow (er, later today), we're having breakfast with my grandfather, then my uncle is coming over to our house to visit. There may be more people with him, but I'm unsure.

Christmas Day, my mom's family is coming over to spend the morning with us, and then we're likely going back to their place in the evening.

As for special things happening, not till New Years.
As for anybody special being with me, again, not till New Years.

As for my belief in Santa Claus? Of course I do. 😀 I'm sure there's a guy out there.... whether he delivers presents or not is beyond me. I'm sure a guy with a name like that would have to live up to it though and deliver as many as he can. I dunno. I've had a long day. I need sleep.

Oh, and we always open one present on Christmas Eve. Any others wait till Christmas Day. ^^

Well, considering I am probably going to be the first one here to hit Christmas, in about 2 hours, let me say Merry Holiday season to all.

I'm going to relax at home for X-mas, I worked all day today and I work all day on the 26th. I'm going to relax, and play some Soul Calibur III and Phantasy Star Online.

I got a little present earlier, which was $20, some phone credit and a Yin-Yang pendant. I know my girlfriend brought me the second Halo novel, and some Pokmon booster packs, and friend of mine tracked down an official Dreamcast controller as a present, and so far, that's been it.

And I think that's Christmas for me. ^^

I'll be celebrating it at home as always, along with my immediate family - although that said, I think my sis is going to her boyfriend's at some point during the day. Ah well, not a loss. << Nothing special that I'm aware of is gonna happen, besides opening presents and checking out what we've got. While I do know most of the presents I'm getting, I'll not list 'em yet, 'cause I'm certain there's at least a few CDs that I'm not entirely sure what they are.

As for the final question, no, but that doesn't stop him from being awesome. :p

*sits, hugging her empty stocking..near bouncing in anticipation* ^.^

i've got my parent's stockings filled already, as i'm being santa's little helper once again. (no, not the dog.)

this christmas we've gained a grandmother for the first time since i can remember, as we usually have an adoptive gran in the form of a lovely old lady from down the road. ^^

*hugs her stocking yet more!*

I already know that I'm getting a PS3 and a Revo next year for christmas. And a ton of cash. >>

Have a merry (Read: Very SX) Christmas, all.

I got my gifts today.

My family's gonna be home through Christmas Day. The day after we're heading to Orlando.

Tonight I am going to have dinner with my family and my brothers girlfriend (my girlfriend can't make it =( ) to celebrate Christmas eve. Going to have a nice ham dinner and open our gifts afterwards. ^^

As for Christmas day....the family party from my moms side is what we normaly do...but as of last year, it hasn't really gone down in a while...kind of sad to say goodbye to an every-year tradition.

Time- 00:05 GMT

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
YAY!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!!!!!

My Christmas shall span over the next few days as I visit friends and family. ^.^

I'm working on a pic that I could post here if no one objects, but that won't be finished for a while.

Hope you all have a fantastic day. ^^

It's almost Christmas day, so I'll post again, I guess.

I wish you all a merry christmas with a family that loves you and a very stuffed tree. And of course, a good holiday feast. Fat kids unite! ...Not that I'm fat.

As for right now, there isn't a single gift under my tree. Nor am I spending Christmas with my dad and his wife, I'm going to my mothers. I can't tell which is worse.

But enough of my griping. Merry Christmas from SX.

And it just hit 12 AM EST, so to everyone in the east US right now, it's CHRISTMAS.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Woo.

It's been an figure skating Christmas. We woke up and went to Astrid's friend's apartment and watched the short programs of the Grand Prix Final cause it was on cable.

w00t. As for presents and stuff, I received:

two new jackets
other new clothes
car calendar
Steelers hat
Steelers shirt
new cordless phone
Fred Meyer gift card
Super Mario Sunshine
Medal of Honor European Assault (GameCube)
Xbox 360 Controller for my PC (yay!)
decent amount of various types of candy
a few other random small things
and not one, but two cans of Spam. w00t for Spam sammiches!

So far I'm greatly pleased with this Xbox 360 controller. Someone here, I think it was Cycle, once said that when God plays videogames, he uses this controller. I do believe he was correct. I haven't used it a lot yet, but I think it's already surpassed the Dual Shock 2 as my favorite gamepad. Extremely comfortable to hold, comfortable buttons and sticks, great D-pad (comfortable to use, and no trouble with pushing in the wrong direction like other PC controllers I've had), analog triggers and two normal shoulder buttons, and so on. My only minor complaints are that the two normal shoulder buttons aren't quite as comfortable to use as they are with the PS1/2, and that from what I gather, the vibration feature was implemented in such a way that a game would have to specifically support it, meaning none of the games I have that support normal force feedback will work with it. And I wish I could use it in Windows 2000. I can deal with those minor issues though, as I'm loving everything else about it. And it's not that much trouble to just boot into XP if I'll be playing games on the PC.

Now if only someone would come up with an adapter to let me use it on a PS2 and/or GameCube...

</controller ramblings>

Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone! Although I just realized that it's already past Christmas by the time zone this board is set to... >_>

The only stuff worth mentioning is a new guitar strap, a Wavebird controller (I now have four controllers... w00t) and a Beatles CD. Clothes, candy and small gift cetificates were also plentiful, but don't really need mentioning.

But I just mentioned them.

Dammit.

I didn't really expect too much for Christmas since my parents are going through some financial difficulties at the moment. It's weird... I'm usually disappointed right after Christmas (human greed, I guess) but for some reason I actually feel pretty content.

I usually buy everything I want though (bass guitar, iPod, stereo, CD's), but my savings account is pretty much empty and I won't have much cash until I can work next summer.

And SX, I want to punch you in the skull... for having rich parents.

First, off, I hope you all had a good Christmas. As for me, this has been one of the best Christmases we've have. One of the best surprises was that our great neighbor, Mr. Webb, came over and ate Christmas dinner with my family because I mean the man is like family to us, he's watched our mail and pets when we're gone, takes us to school and work when our cars are messed up, etc. so this was a great way to pay him back for all he did for us.

As for presents, I got Shadow for GC, Sonic Rush(in the same packages just as I predicted I would) , a Sonic X Matchbox tractor trailer(for a stocking stuffer), pj bottoms and a pj shirt that says, "Fruitcake: the gift that keeps on giving" from my sister, 25 bucks from my grannie, 10 bucks from one of my managers, two Christian shirts(one T and one sweater) from my aunt in Virginia, and then today, I got me a Sonic Rush DS skin, a 3 pack of DS styli, and the guide book for Shadow. So, yeah, I had a very good Christmas!^__^
