Well, my real Christmas is only from my dad:

Playstation Portable
Final Fantasy Dissidia (on the PSP)

Of course, I can't play it until he gets me the memory card I asked for, which probably won't be a week or so from now. Gee thanks, Dad. (Btw, I wouldn't have even been able to afford the PSP with the $150 I was going to get, only he got a $500 giftcard Christmas bonus at work; I guess I should give thanks for small blessings)

Meanwhile, my mom has been buying me stuff secretly with a credit card. And, yes, I feel guilty, but that doesn't stop her. So:

Katy Perry ~ One of The Boys
Leona Lewis ~ Echo
Adam Lambert ~ For Your Entertainment
Kris Allen
Susan Boyle ~ I Dreamed A Dream
Disney Princess Christmas Album (which I surprisingly liked)
Glee ~ Volumes 1 and 2
Desperate Housewives ~ Season 5
Digimon ~ Season 1

Hopefully I'll get hired after Christmas. That'll be the real gift. *wishes*

From my Secret Santa:
The Big Bang Theory - Season 1

My friend got me GLEE: The Music, Volume 1, but she somehow found out that I had it already, and she offered to return it and get something else, which made me feel like a terrible person. Haha.

I've gotten some sweets from my friends also. Nothing big.

My sister bought me Family Guy: Something Something Something Dark Side on Blu-ray yesterday for Christmas, but she's gonna wrap it before I can get it.

I've been naughty in the way that I know how to log in and look at my mom's Amazon orders, so I know I'll be getting the Sherman Brothers Songbook CD (which looked incredibly awesome when I bought it for my SS) and Earth on Blu-ray. :)

I'll edit this post when more comes in.

Edit 1:

My grandma just gave me Forrest Gump on Blu-ray, Earth on Blu-ray, and the Sherman Brothers Songbook. My mom bought the gifts for my grandma, and my grandma gave them to me. Haha. I'm excited to watch/listen to them. :)

Edit 2:

My grandma (on my dad's side) got me a Tempur-Pedic pillow (YES!) and (500) Days of Summer on Blu-ray.

My uncle got me Ghostbusters on Blu-ray.

My sister's friend got me an Ellie Badge pin.

Edit numero tres:

My aunt and uncle (who are musical freaks like me) have given me the Complete Collection of "That's Entertainment" and An American in Paris on Blu-ray. They also gave me "With the Beatles" on CD.

Final edit (possibly):

With the money received from my mom and my grandma, I bought a Flip UltraHD camcorder (to use for multi angle purposes), and the 30-Second Bunnies Theatre DVD on Amazon.

I am not expecting anything for Christmas this year. I am, however, expecting on January 6th something (reyquila should know this ;) ).

I did get a new phone in order to replace a crappy one I had, which is so far really nice.

From myself (Yeah, I might be a little selfish, but I kind of treated myself since I'm going through a breakup):
Magic: The Gathering cards

From my 'rents:
PLAYSTATION 3!!!! HOLY GOD!
Harry Potter Years 1-6 boxset (BD)
Family Guy: Something, Something, Something DARK SIDE!!!!
Pajama Pants
Colts jersey (Not manning, but eh, it works)
Scribblenauts
New Super Mario Bros. Wii and guide

Going over to grandparents' house later.

Yeah, I don't mean to sound spoiled, I really don't. I did rather poorly at school this year, so I was thinking that I wasn't going to have a good Christmas. I were wrong.

BTW, I need to get that shirt that says 'English major. You do the math'. Since I'm an English major.

Interesting anecdote to that: Our class observation (for when we go to high schools to watch different teaching styles) uniform is a red polo and khakis. I am so going to Target every day after class.
