riccostar:
Now would probably be an appropriate time for starting this thread.

This morning I was lucky enough to receive Marten's teh shirt and the XKCD woodpecker t-shirt making me a very happy camper!
I was proud to give two seasons of psych to my sister.  She absolutely adores that show and we sat down for the rest of the day watching the first season.

Lines:
I gave a bunch of hand knitted things, DVDs, CDs, a book, and cat toys galore (each person other than my mom got one thing, there were just a lot of people to give gifts to this year) and received several books, among other things. (Some I haven't gotten yet, because they're being brought back from Utah.) I am super stoked about the books! One is a pain in the ass to find in the US, so it came from England, another is about hand-dyeing yarn, and the last is J.K. Rowling's newest book!

Also my mom got me a lamp shaped like an owl and it's pretty and makes me happy because it's an owl! OWL!

Barmymoo:
I got my stepdad a book called the Byng Ballads, which I bought because it was an interesting-looking old book with nice colour illustrations and funny poems, and which turned out to be absolutely perfect for my stepdad. Seredipitious find! Actually it was a friend who found it on an old book stall we were exploring, and I'm glad I bought it.

My mum got me various kitchen items, like a tiny spatula for icing cupcakes. My main present was a coat, which I got in September, and from my dad I got a very substantial bike D lock, and a piece of computer software which again I got in September. Various friends gave me various small things, notably a large number of candles and a midwifery memoir.

LTK:
I gave...
A copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a copy of Zeno Clash, a tiny mixer, two small pictures of Ratatouille on canvas, a colourful knitted cap, a set of glass jars, a whetstone, and a set of disposable piping bags.

I received...
A pair of striped socks, a tealight with a deer on it, a bag of liquorice, a tiny mixer, one small picture of Ratatouille on canvas, chocolate on a stick (for making chocolate milk), a pair of ceramic knives (with sheaths!), and a giant novelty clothespin.

All but the last two of each list was bought for me specifically, or by me for someone specifically. The rest are Sinterklaas presents that go to whoever ends up with them at the end of the gift-giving game. That explains why I ended up with some of the gifts I bought originally, because someone else wanted me to have it, and I bought them because I liked them in the first place. My dad got me the knives, and I got him a whetstone. Neither of us saw that coming.

Also, stuff that I bought/paid for myself: A new padlock, because I lost mine, an eight-screwdriver-flashlight combination tool, a freezer, a cabinet and two pairs of trousers. And then my mom tells me I shouldn't be so stingy...

dr. nervioso:
I am incredibly poor so I gave nothing

I received some candy, a new blue pullover, some awesome boxers that make my ass look great, some money, and a new wallet

And I will have another small christmas when I get back home
