I got uh....2 really,really small boxes of chocolates that tasted bad.Very bad.I have a suspicion that they were way past the expiry date or something.

I got a girlfriend. For this particular case, it turned out to be a very baaaad idea, but took Valentine's day to knock enough sense into me to do something about it.
Oh, you meant normal gifts and stuff? Um...I think I got a nice new mug and a packet of above-average hot cocoa mix. Sounds like a cheap gift, but think about it: it's more unique than socks and can keep you just as warm.

in recent years I mainly just end up with money... I'm happy enough with what I have so when xmas comes there's not anything people can really buy me so I just get money. That's cool and stuff but I still kinda miss the old snes days or the 'new console' xmasses where I'd run around the house each time my parents left to try and find out what they got me ^^; These days I struggle to think of anything I'd be happy to see when I open a pressie... other than the deluge of terry's chocolate oranges I get (love them and it's the only time of year I really eat them or anything particularly chocolatey so it's all good <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )
Last Christmas, I got my LCD screen (*hugs*) and a bunch of chocolates and other fat producing stuff... Some books, DVDs and... Hmm... More sweets! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

This year its going to be a cheap christmas for me !
You know,could be a suspicion on my part,mainly based on the fact that i have NEVER heard of any asian friends or relatives getting anything more than JUNK(literally.Cheap clothes from night markets,1 dollar soveniers,stationery,pencils,and even a tissue paper box that was a free gift from a petrol station...),that it is in the asian culture to send gifts just for the sake of doing so and not to lose face.Just a guess.
I have 2 bucks as a bet,on 3-1 odds(in his favour) that i get junk for christmass again this year.
lol moq, I'm 22 and I'd still do that... it's more to do with the fact I don't have anything to hunt for than age =/
Like I said; I'm pretty happy with what I've got so there's not much my parents can treat me to that'll get me all hyped up. Maybe I should ask for a new console or something? lol
