My Christmas was more about giving than receiving. I bought iPod touches for my mother and a good friend, and spent a lot of money on gifts for others as well to thank them for taking care of me over the past few months, which have been very difficult for me. I didn't receive anything of particular note, which is absolutely fine by me. In fact, it's what I wanted -- I specifically requested that no one get me anything at all this year. Of course, people still did, but without any specific ideas to go on, they weren't able to get me as much as they might have.

I got my mum mamma mia as well. She loves it, which means she's going to have friends over every night to watch it. I got my Dad the entire Monty Python set but I don't mind if he watches that repeatedly.

Absolutely. This was the first year that I really bought presents for others en masse, and I found that I much more excited to give people their presents than I was to receive them.

I totally understand the feeling. I wish I could have done that, but unfortunately I had no blinking idea what anybody wanted or would like. If I had any real life friends I might have faired better as far as they would be concerned, but no such luck. And I haven't talked to my cousin in a while so I had no idea what she would like or what she already had or... anything. It was a little frustrating... oh well... my mom and dad managed to help pick a couple things out.
I got Mario Kart Wii(which is a lot more fun than I expected  ), a $50 iTunes Gift card(which may be used up very soon), and... an ice maker. It's pretty sweet, though it doesn't keep the ice it makes frozen. But it makes a ton of it so that doesn't matter much.

Nono, this is different. It's this little tank thing that you pour water in. There's a basket that goes over it. Close it up and turn it on and it makes ice. Not in cubes though... they're these like... cyllinder things with holes in them.
This is pretty much it:

Though I do actually have a small fridge in my room. The freezer's just too small.

I'm curious as to the explanation Bethesda will come up with for the potential plot hole inducing ending depending on what you do.

Funny story.. my family, never celebrated Christmas. (They were.. odd, very odd people)
So this year was my first 'real' one, I ended up with a few little things, new mouse pad, some shirts, dvds.. oh and a friend bought me a new sonic screwdriver /physic paper wallet, the old pair I had was lost in the car accident as well, so that made me smile.
