Sadly, Santa only made it to the driveway - he was butted by a goat and said he'd never come back.

Merry Christmas.

I don't believe in Santa. Why? Well he just aint real, no matter what people say, even I cant prove it I just know it, in my spirit.

But be blessed for the king has born!

Happy Christmas to every one.

Merry Christmas to all, and may we NEVER forget what this holiday is about.
quote:

Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Saviour, Jesus Christ. He exists certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Jesus! It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no faith then, no love, no hope to make tolerable this existence. We should have no eternal life, except in sense and sight. The eternal light which fills the world would be extinguished.

Merry Christmas!

I got a few articles of clothing, nothing more really. I'm hard to buy for, and I'd rather not have my parents spend a lot of money on me.

Hope you guys had a great day!

I don't either. And I don't blame him for not existing either, not even planes are allowed to fly over the capital city here in Guatemala on Christmas Eve due to the large ammount of fireworks.

well, by Santa Claus, you mean St. Nicholas, the historical figure, I do believe he existed. He gave money to poor families who could not afford dowry for their daughters so that the girls didn't need to go into prostitution.


so.. CPU, in Guatemala, you shoot off fireworks on christmas? interesting. lol. explains alot, cuz I was confused by what you mean of santa being AA'd by fireworks.

Wow awesome gifts guys!!!

It'd had been awesome to get a new Yamaha digital piano and a laptop, but what I did get was better in a way... A good homecooked dinner that took 6-10 hours to prepare from my mom... and then another one from my grandma! AND I got to hang out with my close-knit family ^^ which is priceless. I also did get for myself a nice new winter coat, and some new clothes!

*grabs camera* Axys and I are about to go out on the town ^^

It's cool how everyone (not literally speaking) gets a present on Jesus' birthday.. let's remember to give Him the present that He desires from us. Which is our love, our hearts, and our lives!

Merry Christmas to all!

Amen! The Gift of Grace, that's something that is awesome to talk about.

From the presents I got the bathrobe comes first in mind, because it's warm and it's cold in here. Then money and chocolate.

Happy new years,

Extended family:
Sweatshirt
$1 video game. (You know like the ones from kids meals, only bigger)
Magnetic Dartboard (I've never played darts before)
Mp3 Player (From Grandparents picked out by parents.)

Immediate family:
4 Narnia puzzles
4 Disk Narnia Set
Motor sled in shape of a Motorcycle. (No snow)
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith
(Planning on returning the 2 Jedi Knight)
Star Wars Tie Fighter vs. X-Wing (Cool game)
(All Games are for PC)
BlitzMax! (WOOOOOT! I really wanted to get this, though I never dreamed of getting it for CHRISTmas. Expect lots of dumb questions Seeing as the tutorial I downloaded is confusing. I have no BASIC background, and know only Blitz. All the others are the same except a few changes. I know B3d and BB technically.)
Thats all the REALLY memorable ones, if I recorded every single one it might take more than an hour or so. We've filled completely front to back a 12 foot tree with presents, with some stacked, and mine take up about 1/3 of it.
