Nothing.:O:
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.:damn:

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

[Dowly]

@Schröder

Christmas is what you make of it. ;)

Anybody planning on getting anything in the Sales? Think I'm gonna have a look for a new monitor, had this one since 2006. So I may be browsing in glorious Technicolor by the end of the day :D

[Jimbuna]

5 LITRES? :o

To be fair, they were five separate presents from people :DL

Only my daughter remembered to accompany the rum with a litre bottle of Schweppes Peppermint Cordial :hmmm:

A mug with the words 'I (heart) spreadsheets'

For £139 I'd have expected a new one :O:

[Herr-Berbunch]

I haven't got a great deal of money, but the kids have a bit, I'll just be happy if I can browse anything electrical/games without hassle. Oh, and a nice coffee would be great too. :hmmm:

Agreed....Christmas is mostly for the kids, as long as they are happy then I'm usually well pleased :sunny:

[Geno_Mariner]

Nice presents everyone :DL Thought I should break my inactivity on posting and say something...

Didn't get anything related to submarines or such but I got some... interesting stuff and awesome stuff:



Candles and glass cups for them (seriously, I have too many candles already and no lighter :doh:)
3DS (it's cool and all but the 3D feature does kill your eyes after a while... :dead: I prefer my Wii if I want long hours of playing XD)
Nerf Gun Vortex Praxis (now I just need more Nerf Gun people and we can have a Nerf War :yeah:)
Apron (I already got an apron... an Aussie flag one :88))

That's about it from all my family. From friends, I got a nice picture from Oberon and will be getting a Zoid model kit from his Fiancee, a Bio Volcano. (I'm an avid Zoid model collector and really enjoy building, if you're really curious, my collection photos are halfway down this page http://deathyszoids.weebly.com/photography.html I have a lonely F-111C waiting to be built but I'm having paint colour issues)


Didn't do much on Christmas Day, half the day, it was playing on OMGPOP with my friends. We had an epic battleship match.
