I just now returned home for christmas dinner with our family, and as danes cheat and get their presents on the 24th, I of course already got mine
So I'm starting this thread, asking all you a.netters: What did you get for christmas this year?
I got:
Pink iPod Nano 4 GB - from mom and dad. Table lamp - from little brother. Summer clothes- two tops and a skirt - from aunt, uncle and cousins. Book and 100 danish kroner - from cousin. Two pairs of panties and two bras - from parents. Body scrub - from aunt and uncle.
And a gorgeous meal and heaps of quality time with the family, of course.
Got this account from an old friend- he never used it and I had been on a month's break and deleted my old username- so until I get my own (and get myself listed as female ), this'll have to do

It's confused so many people though- so I'm getting used to explaining!
Quoting Legoguy (Reply 6): mmmm three quesses what my little cousin is getting from my family.... my sister went to the effort to wrapping it up. He'll never guess!
The only problem is I fear he will destroy it in his haste in opening it.
As for what I got
773ER model
driving lessons
chocolate coins lol
about £60 in money from family friends
and a damn refill pad which I'm using now for some revision!!!! Revision on Christmas. Terrible!!!!

Quoting Legoguy (Reply 8): You really get to open presents on the 24th???
Yes A typically 24th of dec goes like this: family dinner, dancing around the christmas tree, opening presents, coffee and snacks, and then, going home
The 25th, 26th and 27th are just days off for most danes- some have a small dinner get-together the 25th to eat the christmas dinner leftovers, but that's it
Quoting GQfluffy (Reply 10):
Woo...are they pretty sweet? Got any pictures? Oh I got it, how about a modeling show?
They're AWESOME, that's what they are! Red satin lace

I received an early gift yesterday from my sister-in-law's husband. A spanking new set of golf clubs. I immediately went to the driving range and hit a couple of hundred. Absolutely stunning clubs.

Nice! So you have basically already had Christmas then! I can't wait for my lie in tomorrow!
Quoting Daleaholic (Reply 9): I hope, for your little cousins sake that he will carefully unwrap it!
I'll probably have to rebuild it tomorrow once he's finished unwrapping it!

Can you say 'Beer Can' without sounding like a Jamaican saying 'Bacon'?

Basically the only thing I've asked for this year, from the people who were offering, was money towards a snowboard. So now I'm the proud owner of a Burton, which I'm very happy about!

I got T-Shirts from my grandparents. The white one is somewhat OK, but I hated the other, dark one. I prefer my black T-Shirts to have absolutely nothing on them and be fully "clean" in that sense. The other present I got, my broadband connection, was an early present I have since October.
So, it was up to me to get myself a decent present for Christmas. I got myself, after looking for it since the World Cup, an original replica of the Adidas jersey from the German national team. It cost me a bundle though, but then again I hate knockoffs and am willing to pay extra for the real thing.
In the end, I didn't have any big expectations regarding Christmas presents (except that like every year, I still want girlfriend, a job in the Aviation industry and a planeticket to move back to HAM for Christmas ).
