I got lots of art supplies. Two art cases full of paint (3 types), colored pencils, small canvases, oil pastels, etc. Two sketch books of multimedia paper (which I was needing for watercolor pencils) each a different size, which is nice. Two candles, some candy, a huge box that had 10 or so puzzles in it (for when I go to college and have no money to do anything), a pair of pants, and a shirt. I also got a prepaid mastercard which I used to buy myself some clothes from Aero, along with two vinyl records to add to my collection (I have 19 now!). Lastly, I got an iTunes card which I'm still figuring out how to use, considering I get most of my music from other people.~
Christmas was awesome this year, it was the first year in 4 years that I actually got to spend with all of my siblings as well as my step dad who hasn't been able to be around much over the last couple years due to work.
I'm happy to see everyone else had a good holiday season!! Happy New Years everyone, I hope you all have a great time on the 31st and have a great start to 2k15!

I really enjoyed christmas this year! I'm not really ones for the holidays, personally, but this was one of the very few years that I actually asked for something besides money from my family. My dad got me a couple of hoodies, tshirts, and art prints I wanted from the Bioware Store, because my life is Mass Effect and Dragon Age. My dad also got me a new headset to use, which I've been using to play some games with friends now!! I also got the Dragon Age Inquisition art book from my grandmother, which I absolutely love!! I got some money from my grandfather to spend at a con (or elsewhere) that I'm going to next week.
got me Don't Starve Together (idk if she counted it as a xmas gift BUT I DID), and I'm really, really enjoying it!! (Like, I already have over 30 hours on it between us playing it together and me playing on my own)
I actually got some really great stuff this year and am super happy with it all.
My parents got me a REALLY FREAKIN' GORG statuette of archangel Michael to go with my Lucifer and Nike ones. It's based on my fav statue of him too so like a million bonus points there. They also got me The Divine Comedy all in one book since I've only ever had Inferno. Otherwise I got Assassin's Creed: Rogue, a Walking Dead shirt & hoodie (which I got early bc of gross winter weather) as well as Glenn and Maggie figures to add to my nerd action figure shelf, some cute socks & wintery hat, a few silly things here and there, and of course money haha. I also got really super amazing art from of my OC Azriah (and one featuring her OC Noah too!!) that I love a ton and ton goshhh o sent me a really cute Christmas card too with my OC Lucifer on it wearing a Santa hat and I love it. I love my mom's reaction to having Satan among the cutesy Christmas cards too. sent me a really nice Christmas card too that was really sweet!
All and all, despite my rather scroogey attitude towards Christmas, I actually really enjoyed this year!
I had three Christmas's this year XD it was my first with my fiance though :D so i was excited about that!!!
I got some new yarn for my blanket i'm trying to make, some engraved art, a wacom bamboo for my art manipulation hobby, new clothes, a bracelet from my aunt... that i dont really like XD it's too gaudy XD but she is just weird anyways XD haha, new earrings, and an over 3ft ocean life puzzle! :D
my fiance enjoyed his Christmas too.... he got a new pellet gun from Santa haha :P
liar I thought you said you didn't get anything :P
I got chocolate. n___n
I got a new keyboard for my laptop, and got it installed yesterday. You have no idea how amazing it is to be able to communicate after "yo've been alking like his for 2 monhs."
I got two board games from my cousins and my brother. I got clothes from my aunt, money from my great aunt, a book for school (and the keyboard) from my mom and 8 kgs of detergent and a really big canvas from my dad. The canvas is really for him, because he wants me to paint him something, and the detergent was partially to help his student daughter, partially a joke. I also hung out a bit with , and she gave me some spare art supplies and Vial of the Sands in World of Warcraft (an item which turns you into a rideable dragon). It was really really kind of her ;u;
I told my current boyfriend very specifically I didn't want him to buy me anything, because I know he's pretty broke right now and I have some issues with SOs giving me presents. He outright said he was gonna ignore that and buy me something anyway, and gave me a huge box of fancy chocolates. Objectively it's a nice gesture, but I found it kind of disrespectful and unpersonal.
All in all a decent haul. I'm very grateful for having such stellar ladies in my life, and my bro who made Christmas tolerable. :)
You know you're getting old when your christmas gifts include a carry on suitcase because your old one wasn't professional looking enough, a tub mat, a wireless charging port and a GPS. Aside from that, I also got clothes, a keepsake box, decorative wine bottle holder and a bow. I was not expecting the bow at all. I put that on my wishlist for my boyfriend since he kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas and I really had no idea so I just sent him a list of things I hadn't bought for myself yet.
I got lots of exciting stuff this year! A harmonica, a bean bag, a nice soft sweater, the Eridan scarf, a cute moose statue, lots of candy, some tea towels and oven mitts for my kitchen, a piece of the berlin wall, some christmas tree ornaments, a Himalayan salt lamp/air purifier, couple 3DS games, cute basket with an owl on it, cash money. That's at least close, if not all my gifts
Well, my boyfriend's family (mom & dad, sister) spoiled me pretty hard. They got me: a beautiful wool sweater and gloves, stockings, teeth-care things (his mom is a hygienist), a magic bag, some candy/chocolate.
The boyfriend got me: a beautiful fuzzy blanket since he spilled coffee on my other one. Planned on getting me a couch-sized cuddle blanket, instead got me a queen-size. I'm happier with that. Also got me a $100 gift card to the campus bookstore (AWESOME) and a book for my Honours thesis, Jason Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces".
My family bought me 2 pairs leggings and 2 pairs of jeans, two books (Doug Dorst & J. J. Abram's "S." and Mark Danielewski's "House of Leaves", pajamas (which we open every xmas eve so we can sleep in them that night), and Mom gave me her old purse which I love, so I guess that counts :P
My friends got me assorted flavoured coffee and hot chocolate, coffee flavouring, candles, incense, and another pair of leggings. Another friend got me a $30 Amazon gift card, a travel mug, and a pair of gloves.
I actually just got my Dad's gift today (he still lives in BC while I have moved to NB), and he got me free-trade liquid soaps, a vegetable slicer/juicer/grater, lotto tickets (I won nothing) and lindt chocolate.
I had a pretty amazing Christmas, I'm really blessed to have these people in my life. And my best friend knew I was short on money, so she let me pitch in on her gifts and help choose, so the gifts for our friends were from both of us. It was an amazing, busy holiday. I hope everyone else had a fantastic Christmas. Or, whatever holiday you's all celebrate. :)
