Nintendo 3DS with Super Mario 3D Land
Nikon SB 700 Flash
slippers
ghost pepper hot sauce
various bottles of wine
MTG playmat and sleeves
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Resident Evil the Mercenaries 3D
various clothing from my parents that I need to figure out how to return without a gift receipt
Best present ever: 13 fucking hours of basketball. Thank you NBA.
Got my dad a gateway netbook and my mother a plethora of Christmas decorations and a Kindle, first year I actually had enough money to get something for them that wasn't chinsy.
Got MW3/Skyrim/Sonic Generations/Starfox64. New shoes thank god. Grandparents got me a really nice new wallet.
Jack Sparrow action figure. <3 my mother.
Pair of really nice gloves. New jacket for if it ever snows in NJ again (Halloween doesn't count). Good year.
Gave my dad a kindle with a few books for it. Mom a nice pair of gloves. Couple dvds/gift cards/other sundry's for friends and other family.
Got a bunch of clothes.
Oh and one of these:
![]()
New air compressor
Couple of Express shirts
Couple of Express ties
Some smart wool socks
New Camelbak
Bunch of different BBQ rubs
So it turns out I did get something this Christmas after all.
The main water pipe for my building burst and I have no water for 24-48 hours. Last year the main power line malfunctioned and we had no power for 24-48 hours.
Fuck this white people holiday.
Ok so looks like I am getting reimbursed for my new armani glasses as well as my sennheiser hd650's, couple gift cards and a new beanie.
All in all about $600 cash, target gift card and the hat. Not a bad Christmas considering I'm getting older and haven't asked for anything or cost more than 300 in years.
$50k is rubble in Pittsburgh, my parents make combined $125k and we barely get by in a nicer middle class community ($100 limit on "main gift" for Christmas usually).... however if you go to the outer rims of Pittsburgh's metropolitan area, into farm country, you can live off of social security checks. Or minimum wage. Either one, its seriously like $15k to live sufficiently there (gas bill, rent a home, maybe a lil more if you get a mortage to buy one).
Lies and slander. my household makes almost 100 grand a year and we're pretty poor.
