I really was not expecting much this year, but I got a few things I asked for. I got The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword for Wii that was packaged with the limited edition guide, Batman Arkham Asylum for Xbox 360, Mario Kart 7( was given by a friend) The King of Fighters XIII on xbox 360(also given by a friend) A Skyrim encyclopedia,(What a huge book) From my whole family I got lots of money as well. I also got a really bad cold, which started to get worse after Christmas Eve, and then even worsened on Christmas morning. 
Overall, I am missing two things. I want MGS HD collection, and a 50$ psn card, which I will go find on boxing day today.

I was surprised at most of gifts I got. I received a ribbon hair clip, gray contact lenses, blood red lipstick, pearl dangling earrings, chocolates, money, Longchamp bag and Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto (Bloom) perfume ♥
I got so much more than what I was expecting. I'm so thankful.

I got more than I was hoping for
The standard stuff really, a few toiletries, a couple of DVDs, pyjamas (every. year.) and lots of chocolate that will take me foreverrrr to eat!
I also got a new pair of boots
they're awesome.
Only thing I wanted that I didn't get was a box of pop tarts that I'll pick up next time I go out. To any Americans that may laugh at that, pop tarts are incredibly rare and expensive in this country
you can only get them round here in a sweet shop that sells imported food.

I wasn't expecting to get half the stuff on my list this year. Boy, how wrong I was. 
Got Battlefield 3
BF3 strategy guide (looks like it could be a novel, it's that huge)
The newest Disturbed CD
A couple of lotto tickets
3 months of xbox live gold
1600 MS points
3 Harry Potter movies
And a nice, shiny new webcam.
So yeah, I got most of my list this year. And the tradition of getting a new game each year at Christmas continues on.

32 GB white iPod touch, trac phone, and roughly $300. I don't text at all really so a trac phone is perfect for me. Just for emergencies and when I need to get in touch with my parents for whatever reason. Wasn't expecting a 32 GB touch but I'm amazed at how little space I took up when transferring songs from my shuffle.
With the money, I spent it all today
but I got some good stuff.
New pink PS3 controller (the square button on the original one was broken for the longest time so I finally caved and spent the $60), Assassin's Creed Revelations, Saints Row The Third, Nier, Enslaved, Dead Rising 2, shitload of clothes and two pairs of shoes.

Honestly, being my age in a family so large I wasn't expecting anything, and honestly, I would have been fine with that too... but I got a few things that I adore. 
From my Grandparents:
- A gift card for clothes shopping that I wouldn't feel right naming the amount of (god bless them)
- A small beautiful collectible Zebra statue (might sound lame to others, but it's gorgeous and so classy and I love it)
From my Parents:
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution (game I've been going bonkers for for the longest time!)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (never get to play it on the xbox so I got this)
- A glow in the dark pink playstation controller that's just awesome.
- The Bourne Series (a gorgeous book collection)
I am so thankful for all of my gifts... and I love all of them.

I got quite a few things but most of them are only small things, so there is not much point listing all of those

A pair of Turtle Beach headphones/mic for the PC/360/PS3 they are pretty excellent, surround sound directly in your ear and all that
My mother got me a mouse pad with my own face on it. Game. Set. Match
