My family does not buy gifts, ever. Instead, we all buy gift cards to the mall and go spend a full day there a day or so after Xmas. Since there is an Ebgames at the mall, all of it will go towards games :) As far as my girlfriend goes, no idea till tom!

Interesting tradition, if you like putting up with the crowds

@topic

so far...

ExciteBike (WiiWare) from my Secret Santa (MaxwellGT2000, he sort of gave away who he was)

An official NFL Philadelphia Eagles McNabb jersey. My wife and I traded gifts today since we spend most of Christmas running around and visiting family.

A 3 table set (they are progressively smaller so they fit inside each other). It was a good thing my parents gave them to us today, as I hardly had space in the car for it. With everything I'll be toting around tomorrow we definitely wouldn't have been able to fit it in.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

You're Finnish (assuming your profile tells the truth) why are you opening presents already.

Should be those damned Australians making threads like this.

What you mean?

Because Christmas Day is on the 25th, and you are detailing your presents as if you had opened them.

Yep! The crowds really are not that bad the day after Xmas and it gives all of us an extra chance to spend time with one another.  Our philosophy on giftcards is everyone has items they want, but not enough to spend their own money on.  This is a perfect oppertunity to get what we want :) but might not otherwise need.

@Topic: Im going to buy games with mine.  All of them will be games Ive wanted to play, just didnt want to buy.  Works out great!

I don't know what I have missed but in Finland  its 24 day when you do traditional things of Christmas (precents,food etc)..

Well Christmas is tomorrow, but what I KNOW I'm getting:

FF7, FF8, FF9, FFX, FFX-2, NSMBWii, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Jak 3, I think Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos Origins, 4000 Wii Pts, and I think something else I can't remember at this present time.

I got a DSi. Not too happy about it, I was excepting something better. Oh well, it came with the receipt so it can propably be traded for store credit.



d21lewis on 24 December 2009

I can get any game that I want, tonight. My GF called me from Gamestop. Do I get Modern Warfare 2? All of my friends want me to get it. Do I get Assassin's Creed 2? It's been getting rave reviews.

No. I'm getting Magna Carta 2.

I honestly don't know why I decided on that game. Oh well. Hope I enjoy it.

24th is Christmas Eve, 25th is Christmas day.... I don't suppose it really makes any difference, but is it different in Finland?

Or is it just different custom, as in you still class 25th as Christmas day, but you open presents etc on Christmas eve?

In Lithuania, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Estonia, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Colombia and the Dominican Republic, among others, this is the day that presents are exchanged and opened. In some of these countries, presents are delivered to children by Santa Claus, personified by an adult dressed up as Santa who comes knocking on the door.

Don't you learn something like that in school ?
