Nobody loves me, Everybody hates me...

The Christmas pressies that I bought for myself were a size 1, two 0 and a 000 W&N7. :bouncy:

After spending insane amounts on other people: a kilted skirt for my mom, a bottle of Bunnahabhain for a special friend and toys for the scrote nephews. What did I get? A lump of coal... :mad: \"Bah, humbug!\"

Aaah! That\'s how you get drunk in Sweden... moonshine :D

I went to Stockholm a couple of years ago and the getting a drink thing seemed strange... I couldn\'t find a shop that actually sold alcohol. I ended up buying a bottle of wine from somewhere and it was about 3% volume or something. I\'m sure that beer was incredibly expensive too - about £5 per glass (.75l ??). Nice place though, especially the old town part :D :D

You probably got some wine for cooking! Alcohol in Sweden is sold in special shops called \"Systembolaget\", who only sell alcohol. And, yes, moonshine is quite common as well as illegally imported stuff.

Sweden is beautiful if you don\'t mind lots of rain. But you brits are quite used to that, aren\'t you? ;)

It also turns out for Christmas I brought home with me a pretty nasty head cold :(

Sneezing and runny nose makes painting really hard, not to mention the sore back and eyes...

My favorite gift this Christmas was being able to fully enjoy it, without feeling ill or tired.

On top of that, I got:
Return of the King extended DVD (spent all day Christmas watching it)

A replica of Frodo\'s sword, Sting

A resin dragon shaped like a teapot

A pottery mug in the shape of a dragon

A Celtic dragon pendant

A jar with dragons on it (detecting a theme here?)

gag gifts

Gag (joke) gifts are a relatively new tradition for my family, but it has been a lot of fun!

This year the two funniest ones were the one from me and the one from my brother

My brother rigged a box to trigger an inflatable mattress to inflate when the box is opened. He also rigged the shut off not to work. :eek:lollol my sister didn\'t know what to do!

Mine was a pain really, I like duct tape.;) My niece-in-law picked mine, great sense of humor! a medium sized box wrapped in red foil wrapping with a note: open if you dare, heh, heh, heh.
After that, four sides of the box were completely covered with duct tape, and the large sides had biohazard warning signs on them, one side was a letter of warning. it stated things like psychotic break and has been known to cause catatonic state in certain test subjects, but I didn\'t save it:( so I don;t remember what all it had. She got through that (read the letter out loud and almost all of the 35 people in the house came to see...

a shoe box COMPLETELY covered on duct tape! :rolleyes: it took a while, there were a lot of jokes about there being a roll of duct tape being the gift, or that it was empty... but she got through that only to open the box and at first, it looked empty, but the package was taped to the lid of the box (I\'m tellin\' ya, had to be there, but) everyone laughed!
lollollol

she got the package of the lid, and had to get through 7 or 8 layers of tissue paper, but no more duct tape...

she finally got through and it was a barney boogey music cd!

(For those of you who don\'t know, Barney is an insidious beast that kids under 5 yrs love and most parent want to shoot themselves in the head after 5 minutes:flame:! )

:duh:

Ha ha! THAT was funny!

GREAT idea, Stumpkiller!

The most I\'ve done was a LOOONG time ago, when I first got into gaming because of my friend.

For Christmas, I got him one of those newfangled (at the time) dice sets that were clear and you colored in the numbers yourself. 7 dice to the set, and each one was individually taped to a piece of newspaper crumpled up with other newspaper wads in a box about 4\' x 4\' in size! He tore out ALL the paper, couldn\'t find the gift until we told him to look CLOSER...lol

They can be fun...

...

I got a gift certificate for movie theatres ($20) and an autographed photograph of Tera Patrick (friend of mine went to a club in Los Angeles where she was, and she signed an autograph, but he asked to sign it to me instead of him!!!)

Everything else I got, I bought myself!

:) :) :)

Happy Holidays everyone :)
