    Microsoft Internet Keyboard - You have no idea how much this means to me... with the abysmal Fujitsu keyboard, you couldn't even button mash more than two keys at times.
    Watercolour paint set - I'm trying to practice on sketching, but I guess it helps to learn how to apint if I ever get around to it.
    3 CD-RWs - Given out of pity because I got really irratated from having lost 2 CD-RWs at my church
    Tape - Mickey Mouse scotch tape...

    That would be one of those clocks that calibrates itself daily or something by recieving radio signals from an atomic clock, not an actual atomic clock right?(unless you got some seriously filthy rich friends there <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    Man, I don't even wanna read past page 1 on this. My family is mad up of cheapskates and old folks. The only remotely computer thing I got was a new cell, which I had to research and pick out and was the 2nd cheapest one at an amazing $50, and my parents only paid for the cell, none of the accessories or any of the 2 year plan.

    Besides that:
    - 3 wallets, yah wow, like the 2 I got last year are broke
    - a retractable phone cord, for my, uh, dialup? (Im on broadband)
    - 2 sweaters
    - a few $10 gift certificates
    - $25 cash
    - Some uh, truck clock thing from these whacko friends of ours, it's made for 3-5 year olds, at least, that's what the box says

    And my brother's gift, which is the only thing I was happy to see, a shirt that says "Be Canadian. Drink Beer." with a Canada Flag on it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh oh, and the best part. I got dragged to some 'joke gift exchange', which can usually be pretty fun. Yah, I got a brain teasers book, ha ha <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> I probably sound old and bitter like Monse, but Im really looking forward to New Years right now!

    What I got:

    2000 dollars to help me with my loans and increased costs (read: scholarship lowered) due to my bad grades in college from grandparents.

    Then again, my family only celebrates Christmas because we have to (I live in America, everything's closed Xmas), and my mother's birthday is Christmas Eve. Hope you all had fun, or at least enjoyed some part of your day!
