I got me a deep fryer
And uhh
Some books, most of which I will read (Complete Works of HP Lovecraft hell yes)
Some clothes, none of which I would buy myself but none of which is terrible enough for me to bother returning because I will probably wear it once or twice
Mirrormask DVD
A lot of small ridiculous toys from my aunt
That's about it, so far, but that's just with my mom's side of the family, so I've got another christmas or two left still
My brother and sister-in-law always have to drive down to Florida on Christmas Eve so we do Christmas in the afternoon of Christmas Eve.
Got that and some cash... and Monopoly. I just forgot to get it out of my car and it's raining now. That's an Office 2009 Calendar by the way. Kind of hard to tell.
Just classic. I don't know about Visa cards. My girlfriend had been telling my sisterinlaw that me and her needed some board games to play, so I'm thinking this was the start.

I got a notification that UPS punked out and is claiming "EMERGENCY CONDITIONS BEYOND UPS' CONTROL" and so several of our presents are not going to arrive in time.

That's code for "The planes arrived late and we ain't delivering that shit."

Except I know that at least one or two of the packages were attempted to be delivered yesterday when we weren't home. And now they're just sitting in a center about 12 miles away.
And the ones that were scheduled to be delivered today also say they are there.

- t-shirt
- money
- the camera with which this picture was taken
- Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji, translated by Edward Seidensticker
- Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms translated by Moss Roberts
And I gave:
- a 1TB external hard drive to my brother (which before wrapping I opened and added a special gift to, for which he will likely punch me!)
- Left 4 Dead for my other younger brother
- Golf shoes for my uncle and body lotion for my aunt
Christmas is lovely

Gift vouchers are alright, they're a good compromise between cash and specific gifts. Like, if I know someone reads a lot of sci-fi, a gift voucher for a sci-fi bookshop is a good idea, because it says "I know you well enough to know you like sci-fi but I have no idea what specific books you have".
I still think some thought has to go into them though. When it's something like vouchers for an entire shopping centre I don't know why you'd bother. All that says is "Hey you like buying stuff right?"
also I know I'm not getting much, but I'm also getting married in a couple days and my fancy bed was a birthday/christmas/wedding present from my parents

At least make it didst
Lizard people invented Christmas to defeat the Zoroastrians and Jews.
because if it's to a store you like to go to, again a book store is a decent example, who cares? Go spend twenty five bucks or whatever on books
Gift cards are great and you are wrong is my point
though all they are is cash you can't spend anywhere else
they're pretty dumb
yes this
Cash and a card is sufficient.
Got that and some cash... and Monopoly. I just forgot to get it out of my car and it's raining now. That's an Office 2009 Calendar by the way. Kind of hard to tell.
Nice lookin haul.

Apparently it comes with Visa cards now.
Only instance that I'm not happy getting money.
Super psyched.
