Yeah, I know it isn't Christmas yet. I'm just getting this baby ready.

Actually, Tvspelsfreak celebrates Christmas on the 24th, because he's Swedish. What'd you get?

Guess what. I actually did celebrate Christmas on the 24th. The reason that we did that, was because we had company and his plane leaves at 6:00 in the morning on Christmas day. So randomly my parents decided to let us open them at night.

Well, I'd like to say that this. My Christmas kicked ass.

Now, here's a total list of my goods.
My Christmas Goods wrote: 1) The complete Digimon first season set (to be shared with brothers)
2) Electric toothbrush and assloads of candy in my stocking
3) David Bowie shirt
4) David Bowie Reality Tour DVD
5) Sonic Mega Collection Plus (PS2)
6) Shenmue II PAL (Import from Europe)
7) Samba De Amigo Official Maracas (Import from Japan)
8) $70
Yes, I got some RARE stuff. I can't imagine how much the Shenmue II and Maracas cost (my mom just said that just the maracas were well over $100)

This is my pay load:
1) DreamCast
2) 1 Grey DC controller (came with the DC)
3) 1 Super cool translucent blue DC controller
4) 1 translucent green VMU (with a dead battery I think...)
5) Kingdom Hearts: Chain o'Memories (not sure why, I was never a fan of the series, I think my mom heard the store workers say it was good or something. Its an ok game.)
6) Stocking full of asorted candy and such.
7) DC to PC link (still in mail though)
Now, I also got a GameBoy SP, BUT, only because the store was sold out of DS's for like 3 weeks. So, my mom said if I don't open it, I can turn it back in and get a DS whenever they restock.... guess what, the store guy said they won't get any more an in another month.... whats up with Nintendo? Did they not make enough DS's or something???

Man..... my DC stuff was soooo dirty and nasty. It was sick. But thats what happens when you get used stuff. So I took some 409 and litteraly used a toothpick and chissled every inch of that baby........ its so shiny now. MY EYES!!!! They burn!!!!!

My mom paid for 120 dollars of an Xbox, I paid the rest of it.

With saved up money from previous chores, I bought two extra Xbox
controllers, along with Halo: Combat Evolved.

JS Lemming forgot that I bought him SSX Tricky.

THPS3 is an awesome game, Wutai. Listen to AFI's "The Boy who Destroyed the World". AFI is my favorite band and that's a great song.

Also, I'm getting sick of not being able to do 8 ) without it becoming 8). Stupid smileys. *runs off to disable*

GOOD! Now that you have it, tell me what you think so I know if it's worth it to spend some of this here Christmas money on it. Is it cool? Is it lame and childish? Any good multiplayer capabilites like Nightmare in Dreamland?

Js Lemming, I have no clue about weather or not Nintendo have a shortage or sumfin, but for Christmas I got a DS. My parents said that they bought 4 of them and sold them on ebay, earning a total of 150 in profit, about enough to cover the DS I got. HA HA!

Anyway, here is my list:
Stocking stuff:
1) Tamagotchi in stocking. (I had them when I was 5, I couldn't resist not getting one, they are TIGHT!)
2) Casio Watch
3) Electric toothbrush
3) Candy

Under Tree Stuff:
1) Christmas Britches (colored underwear! woot!) o.o
2) David Bowie shirt
3) 50$
4) New desk chair
5) Nintendo DS (Flippin tight, MUST GET ONCE DS'S ARE IN STOCK!)
6) Mario DS
7) 25$ (Being spent to rid house of fleas from cat along with 25 from each of my brothers.)
I think that that's all. If I think of more, too bad, I might be too lazy to post it.

Oh man... it is sooooooo awesome! Let me warn you though, it takes a while to get used to though, because you don't go to a lobby each time you beat a level. It's not as organized as Nightmare in Dreamland, but definately something you should check out. And yes, it's got awesome multiplayer capabilities that rule! Even if you play alone, the 3 Kirbys still follow you around and swallow enemies, and even get their own copy abilities to attack enemies with. BUY IT!!! :D

I just bought a Dreamcast with Christmas money.

Soon I'll buy a VMU.

I got a bunch of NES roms on a CD from Lemming on the DC.
(including Castlevania, River City Ransom, Ninja Gaiden and about forty others)
