What are you getting?

[WurkAnimal]

What's everyone getting for Christmas? I'm getting a bowling ball. I'll probally get some money or friends and family..

What about you?

[Wayne Luke]

Don't know... Won't know until the 21st which is when we open gifts in my family.

I never get what I ask for so I simply don't ask anymore. My family can surprise me.

First year I've known before the morning I opened them.

From my parents/grandparents I will be getting a 5G iPod, 60 gig edition. Very hasppy about that.

From my siblings I think they are getting me some iTunes gift cards or a Sam Goody's gift cards or something.

And sicne my birthday is on the 22nd I think I'm getting a CD player for my car. Thats also going to be part of my christmas too.

[V-Dub]

I can't call it. Recently, I was thinking of updating my antivirus software or maybe a vB leased license.

[MGM]

I'm getting Shadow of the Colossus for Playstation 2 from my brother, a Microsoft Points card from my friend for Xbox Live, a 300GB SATA hard drive from my dad, a few controllers and accesories for my Xbox 360, and probably 20 or so DVD's (I always get around 15-30 DVD's every year, usually all of the big titles throughout the year, I'm hoping on getting Lost Season 1 as well but I'm not holding my breath).

MGM out

[Cromulent]

Music and some gym gear I guess, although I'll probably get the odd pair of socks as well .

[daemon]

I'm hoping to get a few of these: half the money of a d-SLR (I pay half, they pay half)... it's unlikely but I can hope , some books, the new Enya CD, a file cabinet, and Grey's Anatomy season one (rather the pre-purchase receipt as it comes out in February).

Won't know until the 21st which is when we open gifts in my family.

Why do you open them on the 21st? To celebrate the first day of winter?

[Creepshow]

Some pre-code horror comic book material from the early 50s from my parents.

Also, I'm getting a near mint copy of CREEPY #1 (Warren Publishing) from my grandfather for £60:00.

I've seen you say "pre-code" several times; what does this mean?

Pre-code in the comics industry is pre 1954 material. Before the Comics Code Authority came into effect due to horror & crime comics causing controversy. The code banned such material. But then horror comics came back with a vengeance in the early 60's with black and white horror magazines like CREEPY & EERIE from Warren.

I am not Christian and do not celebrate Christmas. We celebrate Yule at my house and my kids celebrate Christmas at their mother's. Add to this the fact that my stepson is Jewish and we have a lot of holidays this time of year.

[Vile]

X-Box 360 and a Toshiba 62" DLP HDTV for me

Possibly a 60GB iPod Video as well

[Quillz]

I haven't made a list, so I doubt I'll get anything exciting. All I really want is some money and gift cards.

[nufc fan]

socks probably.

[Danny.VBT]

Some more coding books for me, and some video games.

No Ipod this year.
