Hey Badass. It is almost noon here in the east! What’s the time in the west?
I got …
This!!! As one of my gifts. It happens to be my favorite! Merry Christmas you guys.![]()
My girlfriend and I went over to my parents house last night to open presents because on Christmas they go to New York where most of my family lives.Today we have to go to her parents house around 3 o’clock.
I got my new 3 sectional staff and I love it!
My parents neighbors came over last night and saw my 3 sectional staff and said what the hell is that thing.
My dad says it’s some kind of jitsu-kung-jow type of thing.
I just look at them all and say,Yeah,thats it.
We’re not opening gifts until tonight. None of my family knows where to buy MA stuff, so I know that’s out. I got a funny feeling that I got a Playstation2 though.
This is an awesome Christmas! I got a kicking bag, COC T, a very in depth anatomy text book and a ton of clothes!
Merry Christmas to all!
Peace.
Well i open then on xMas eve, but i got soft gifts all the way.
Got clothes only, guess i’m getting all grown up
I’m getting fewer gifts these days. Got nice winter coat though (didnt have one).
I hope i can someday experience american xMas with kids running downstairs and all that. Plus you have one santa and we have 13, so that should be intersting ![]()
Merry Christmass evryone!!
I got a new Logitec cordless keyboard and muse for my PC, I think so i’ll sit next to my wife wile she watches and I’m online.

13 santas? Are they all called santa?
well. no ![]()
I cant remember all the names but they werent exactly nice persons in the old days, they had a mom called Grýla, and this mom stole children, and aparently the Santas (or “Jólasveinar” which directly translates into Christmasguys, or Christmasfellahs or some :). They all come to town one at a time, starting on the 11th (13 days before christmas). And all kids put a shoe in theyr window (kinda like your stockings above the chimney) and then each “Jólasveinn” gives them something (usually something small to begin with, like raisisn and a lollypop) and then it escelates each day up to a pretty big gift on the morning of the 24th.
They all have funky names like “kjertasníkir” which means “Candlebegger (begging for candles)”. Bjúgnakrækir (sausage snatcher), then there’s Stúfur (Shorty), and the list goes on ![]()
But the gift itself isnt HUGE, not like i understand it works in USA, where santa gives the big gift. Here the parents usually have the biggest gift and everyone in the family gives kids xMas presents and stuff like that, what you get in the shoe is usually something like CD plus something more or a whole lot of candy.
It’s a really weird thing because we had those guys, then the american santa came along and we kinda adopted him, so we have a weird mix, it used to be the way that the santas wore old tattered clothing like people did back in the days. Now a days it’s the classic boots gold buckle and red clothing with white puffs, but it’s still 13 santas. It’s a weird mix of Icelandic tradition and American (since Iceland is HEAVILY influenced by USA in everything). This is btw something that only exists in Iceland, the rest of scandinavia doesnt have this weird tradition ![]()
I got a leather coat, a PS2, 2 more coats, some sweat clothes and the c o c katiel is on the way, gotta wait a couple of weeks though. Oh yea, and a Crystal Chess Set. Now all i gotta do is learn how to play
I got the bruce lee collection of DVDs, and the tao of jeet kun do book, a bunch of other books, uhh… lots of chocolate… im getting the cloths tomorrow when the boxing day sales come on cause my parents r cheap… and i also got the pearl harbor DVD
Holiday gifts
Even though no one in my family of 5 is a Christian, we like exchanging gifts, we just celebrate the family time together and the commercial aspect of the holidays
. I got a dvd player, one of those nice big furry Russian hats, a shirt, and gift cerfificates. I enjoy the time I am able to spend with my two bros, since I don’t see them too often.
Hey, I got the Tao of Jeet Kune Do too! I have never read it before and it seems very interesting what little I have glanced at. I also got an instructional video on qiqong breathing exercise and a book on shaolin crane kung fu. Plus I got not only the Lord of the Rings trilogy in one book but the Hobbit as well. And, WOOHOO, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon on DVD! Got some comic books and candy too. Finally, Suikoden for PSX is coming in the mail soon (ordered off the Internet). And the best gift of all, CASH!!!
BTW, in my home in the US we each open one small gift on Christmas eve and on Christmas we open several things plus one big thing. Then our stockings have candy and toiletries and things like that.
I got a philipino bolo sword. Cut myself within 30seconds of playing with it. Doh !!!![]()
I was so excited I wanted to see what other people got:D
For my birthday which was dec 22 I got 8 classes at Calvin Chin Tiger Crane which is right near me. For Christmas I got the Anna Kournikova calender!!! It’s the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life
Here’s what I got
A week long bout with a stomach virus, then finding out that I have GERD or Acid Reflux Disease.
Ok, that was the bad, here’s the good. Portable CD player, clothing, $300, and this really cute chick that I’m interested in started emailing me when she found out that I was sick.
Hey, maybe puking up my guts for a week wasn’t so bad afterall?
