Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Our pump broke this winter so we had to spend most of our money fixing it. But We got enough toys to make us happy, my brother and I. Something disappointing is that I got two boxes of deodorant. "You are growing up You need adult presents." But with two video games and a bunch of jokes to play, I am extremely happy. With this, I hope you all have a good time these holidays.

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I got towels and washcloths for college next year. My parents are no longer trying to be discreet about their desire to see me gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Death Knight Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 My christmases have been so great now that im in my 20s. Since then, its more fun to see the look on their faces when my family gets presents. I dont really need much to stay happy really anymore. Its really just the little things that are cool Merry christmas to everyone on these forums and their families, hopefully we all have a good time.

"You are growing up You need adult presents." Deodorant not so much, but socks? Socks are a great present. My favorite part about Christmas is peppermint schnapps (although you can buy that any time of the year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 This is my first Christmas away from family. Of course, since my family doesn't celebrate Christmas, it's not really a big deal. I did get mailed a box of chocolates that got ravaged and eaten by squirrels. (I think. And I'm worried about those squirrels.) —Alorael, who got to attach to other families' celebrations. He managed to get a Christmas tree, a menorah, and pagan singing to apple trees in all in one night. It was a very good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Lauren CW Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 ^ Delivering packages for UPS this year, I encountered an apartment in which the owners were away for the holidays, and someone had left them an uncovered plate of cupcakes. As I was going up to leave them their box, I saw a squirrel scampering up a tree with a cupcake in it's mouth 3 times the size of it's head. I tried to cover the cupcakes best I could, and left them a note on their door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wierd thing is they only ended up taking the wrapping paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wierd thing is they only ended up taking the wrapping paper. Well, rodents use things like paper for their nests, so maybe it was only interested in the paper. Perhaps doing some holiday decorating for the home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Socks are the best Christmas present. One year, I got fourteen pairs of socks... individually wrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Soul of Wit Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 It's a family tradition that Dad (that would be me) gets beer from around the world. This year, the import is from Belgium. I haven't tried it yet, but the all-time favorite is still brew from the Czech Republic. Now, that's a Christmas present. Best wishes to all as the days grow longer (shorter, for our southern hemisphere friends) and the year begins anew. May your non-virtual world be as entertaining as Avernum. ----- Beer speaks.

Just wait until you have a homecoming and find that your bedroom has become a den, or sewing room, or home theatre or junk room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Nah, my younger sister (currently 6) will be taking my room. And painting it. I spent years making it a perfect refuge, and it'll be destroyed in weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Human contact in general isn't necessarily a bad thing. Unless, of course, said human is my wacky aunt on my mother's side. Fortunately, the fifth of Jack Daniel's my parents gave me should help....

I usually dont have family come up and visit that often, so it ends up quite boring. I usually end up with a bottle of Jameson to help kill the boredom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
