So far, nothing but a great deal of food and spening 3 days with family.
I am thoroughly pleased.

New mountainbike. 100 bucks in my steam wallet. A new drill and sawzall.
A keg-erator, and a bottle of Johhny Walker Black label, from the in laws.

About to dig on some swine, and make the family laugh as me and my cousins play the dozens.

Someone will fart at the dinner table, all the men will laugh, while the women cringe. We will then get drunk.

I love this time of year.

Nothing.

My family and I have decided that we won't take part in the annual commercial party anymore.
I'm no Christian but the commercialising of Christmas here in Germany makes me sick. It's all just about presents and nothing more anymore.
Want the text of a radio commercial spot from over here?
"Christmas will be decided under the tree!" As if this was a competition.

Sorry for derailing that thread and breaking the mood, but I just had to let off some steam.

Dowly · 12-25-11, 06:23 PM

@Schröder

Christmas is what you make of it.

Takeda Shingen · 12-25-11, 07:22 PM

and

as well as an Amazon gift card.

Egan · 12-25-11, 07:27 PM

Dowly is spot on.

Books for Chrimbo, mainly: A new hardback about Drusus the elder, A book about the development of Graphic art in totalitarian regimes, and a copy of 'First Team' about naval air combat in the early Pacific war. Also bought myself a handful of games during the ongoing Steam sale.
