So what did YOU get for christmas?

Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.

Got a French Press, some Khaki Pants, a Dress Shirt, a gift card to Best Buy, and the Batman Trilogy.

Considering 10 months of next year will be on an aircraft carrier, these are all good gifts :)

You got $250, FC3, and some other things. I got, in total, ~$125 worth of stuff. My little brother got ~$300 worth of stuff (since my mom was tired of him using her tablet, lol). My older brother got ~$150 worth of things. And my parents total up to ~$100.

I think that your family is a bit farther from 'economic crisis' than you think, lol

Lets drop the whole 'economic crisis' talk, its off topic and I don't see any good coming from it.


You're right. We should drop the topic, but one final thing I should say is that I never said my family was in a crisis. In fact, I'd say we're pretty far from it. But the cliff is coming into view. We just need to be careful.


On topic again, I didn't actually ask for anything, so that's why I recieved miscellaneous stuff. But ive been thinking of using my $250 to pay for half of a VST. Or at least, I hope my dad is willing to accept the offer. XD

The install's been giving me some serious problems, though, so I haven't tried it out yet :/

EDIT: Happy 400th post, I guess?

Those are pretty cool to have. Does that imply that you didn't have a bed until now?


Yeah, I was sleeping on an old futon mattress for the last four years. This is definitely better!
I got chocolate, too, but... bed. :D

Nice. Very nice. Also P4 Arena is a good game. That's cool too.

Congrats on the bed then. Try not to get chocolate all over your sheets and stuff!
I used to do the whole no bed thing myself. Didn't mind too much, it was surprisingly comfortable.

A lot of chocolate.

A leather wallet.

A box of axe.

$60

I don't know why I got a wallet, or a box of axe (The only thing from axe I ever use is their deodorant sticks), and I ended up giving the $60 back to my mother to help pay off the house (we're still struggling to get the money before it's due).

It's not much, really, but I'm fine with it.

I got an AM/FM radio that also functions as a CD player, some fancy deodorant, a really nice shirt, and a game.
Only thing I'm vaguely unhappy with is the AM/FM radio, but that's only because we have no batteries for it and it has a really short cord.

My father fixed and gifted me his Yamaha SY22, Korg O5R/W, and Rane SM26 mixer. Thanks, dad.

I also received a few books such as one on synth, mixing/mastering, and drum theory. Trying pick it up in the areas I'm completely clueless. Having a physical book is nice because I can take it with me anywhere more-so than I could with the internet.

EDIT: Oh, and while it doesn't count towards producing, I also was given a few new "Best Of" Piano books. More music to play a happy Stickthefigure makes.

I got 85 bucks, Dishonored, Red Dead Redemption GOTY, Need for Speed: Most Wanted and a couple of DVD's. I'd say it's a pretty successful christmas.

You too? :D

Beds are great.


I also got an MLP colouring/sticker book from my brother (he intended it ironically), a book, 2 t-shirts, some jogging trousers for sleeping in, 2 tubes of Pringles, and a bottle of tequila from my gran. The tequila came with a shot glass and keyring.
