although I didn't get anything, I got my mom a new TV since we've been needing one for ages (I don't watch TV much, but I guess its a present for myself too, kinda?)
I also worked at a bunch of fundraisers for families needing food this christmas blah blah
Why the fuck are you bragging at being generous?
I bought nothing for nobody, not even my own mother, I'm proud about it too.

My only close friend recently moved away :( but last year I bought her a locket. This year I got my sister a netbook and my mother a digital camera. Spent 70+ bucks in the giveaway thread, enough to where I won't be able to buy anything on sale tomorrow :v:.
This thread makes me realize how poor my family is.
I haven't gotten a video game system, or computer, or anything technologically-wise since 2006. About 4 years ago.
:frown:
My presence is worth more then any monetary amount. In all seriousness, I am too poor right now to afford anything. Last year I gave out about $400.00 worth of gifts; that was when I wasn't "laid" off. [Insert tangent about budget "reallocations"]
Oh I loveee Christmas:
[b]Mum[/b] some Chanel number 5
[b]sis[/b] a nice scarf
[b]one of my mates[/b] a Kanye West vinyl record
[b]other mate[/b] boss aftershave
[b]Girl I really like[/b] Adidas originals watch and a Calvin Klein perfume set..
Gifted myself some LV [url]http://img162.yfrog.com/img162/8929/c2wc2un7.jpg[/url]
I wanted to buy people gifts but i'm flat broke. I have $0.12 to my name.
I granted my friends an audience and honoured my family with my presence at the dinner table.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;19189337]I bought Audiosurf for someone on Facepunch who deleted me from his Steam friends list immediately afterwards.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A SEIZURE FROM IT
Just kidding.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I wouldn't buy shit to anyone I don't know. It's in inevitable that people won't show gratitude or appreciation. Fuck them.
Only bought presents for my mom and sister. They loved the presents. Didn't spend much on it, but its the thought that counts.
You're just a smug asshole, op. Christmas is not about gifting.
'HURF DURF IMMA GIFT ALL MY FRIEANDS AND THEN MAEK A THRED AND ALL WSHALL WORSHIP ME AND GAYTRY WILL MAKE A CONTRARETK WITH ME WITH GAMOD 12 LOLOLOLOL xD"
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;19189520]Yep, got two weeks of holiday leave. :)[/QUOTE]

I don't have friends to give stuff to because all the friends i can contact a fucking dicks and my good friends all live too far away. :smithicide:

I bought my friend a pub lunch
I spent £4 getting a Jacob Black poster for this girl I like.
OP is nice.
[QUOTE=Painseeker;19189245]I bought my little brother a 360 Elite with 4 games, an extra controller, a controller charger and 1 year of live.
He...got me nothing... :frown:[/QUOTE]
Your sibling sounds like the typical "Halo"-type fanboy, you know, the morons who take games seriously and have an unbearably high-pitched voice calling out hacks every ten seconds.
Sounds like he didn't deserve it.

How can that much shit cost that little? A book trilogy alone would cost an equivalent of 90 to 140 dollars around here
It's not uncommon for me to end up having to pay 40 euros for one book
And that's only if the book is readily available. If they have to order it, it's closer to 80 euros
I saved some people from a fire.
Only really bought stuff for my girlfriend. Probably about £60 on her. But I owe my brother about £30 to pay for our parents stuff.
Dad - 99P Allen/Hex Key set.
Mum - Biscuits (£2)
Brother A) - Headphones
Brother B) - DoD:S.
Grand total ~ £13ish.
Money spent on friends... £0.00.
Changed my Facbook status to "Merry Christmas!"
I bought my girlfriend the orange box for her new PC
She got me a plushie companion cube and some chocolate.
We're the cool kids, right?
