From my parents:
A new backpack, because my other one was literally falling apart(my brother helped with this)
Pride and Prejudice, the A&E version a.k.a. the good version.
Sense and Sensibility
From Grandma:
A purple blouse
Art pencils
Diner Dash 2
From Mamaw:
A gold necklace and bracelet
The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hour Glass
From friends:
a hand made wire necklace and earrings (very pretty)
The Flower Basket (book)
I didn't get as many gifts as I usually do because of lack of money, and half of the christmas tree lights (the lower half) went out last night, so our tree is only half lit, we can't find the cloth napkins, place mats or center piece candles to light, but regardless, it has been a good Christmas. The Lord is in control, and it was His will for this Christmas to be a little more bland then previous years, but He is the true focus of the holiday, all praise be to Him forever.

It is very easy to get caught up in the "What did I get" spirit. But lemme change this threads gears a bit. This is what meant the most to me about Christmas at my house this year. Yes, I got a few gifts. But it was seeing my niece and nephew's faces light up when they opened their gifts from my parents and I that made my day.

My gifts were mostly viodeos games for the XBox-360,ps2 and Nintendo DS. I also went up to the mountains.
Some of my favorite scriptures.
Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

- Abraham Kuyper
"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan

*glances to her piles of Christmas presents and decides to continue her list where she left off*
Okay, so I got the Wii, iPod Stereo, TWLOHA hoodie, my wall Cross, and my new power cord...like I already said
Also Got:
Books:
Taming a Liger: Unexpected Spiritual Lessons from Napoleon Dynamite - Jeff Dunn & Adam Palmer (To be honest, I'm not a fan of the movie, but it's nonetheless a good book)
Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul - John & Stasi Eldredge (Wow! This came from my stepbrother's girlfriend, whom I hardly even know. I can't thank her enough)
Illuminated - Matt Bronleewe
Blade Silver: Color me Scarred - Melody Carlson
The Struggle - Steve Gerali (Okay, self-bought present...that I bought a few days beforehand...) I honestly wouldn't recommend this book. Talk about tempting and mature, which I didn't expect when I bought it. It's good, but just not worth the fight against M. Especially since it basically concludes that the issue is one between yourself and God and together you've got to figure it out. =/
CDs:
Rush of Fools: Rush of Fools
Hawk Nelson: Smile, it's the End of the World (Okay, so it's mom's, and she bought it a week or so ago...but still XD)
Steven Curtis Chapman: All Things New (I have this CD, they um...bought the wrong one...I wanted This Moment, which goes on sale soon, so we're going to return it and get the new one)
50 Blank CDs
Clothing:
Lots of comfy pajamas. Yay pajamas! (Like, 4 pairs?)
White and gold striped hoodie
two pairs of slippers
Black and White t-shirt
brown striped with white tanktop t-shirt
purple and pink striped t-shirt
(Seriously, what's up with my family and STRIPES?)
new underwear and bras (Yay, I've seriously been needing new...my dog likes to eat underwear and I was down to 3 pairs or so -_- Bah.)
Videos:
Thou Shalt Laugh II: The Deuce (Funny as HECK. A lot of Thor's act he'd actually told at Christ in Youth this past summer, and man, was it good to hear it again!)
Games:
Brain Age 2 (DS)
Misc.:
"Naughty" Cat 2008 Calender
Reindeer Antlers XD
Glowstick bracelets
a Christmas tree
2.0gb Flashdrive
Captain Jack Notebook
Snowkitty Dish and Candy
Lots of candy
$140, which is being put aside for CIY'08 and the Choir trip to Chicago
Umm....Yeah....I think that was everything. I got pretty darn spoiled this year. I don't deserve it ;____;

Shirt, keychain, and two books from one friend, and a drawing from another.
Absolutely nothing from my family. =p Well technically they did help pay off a part of my Macbook Pro that I got, so I'm grateful for that. I also did buy myself Psychonauts as well as a Half-Life 2 plushie.
And Ark, your post = Best in the thread.
I lol'd.

Ah, Psychonauts. One of the most underappreciated games on the PS2. Unfortunately long load times, though.
If this post seems too utterly absurd or ridiculous to be taken seriously, don't.

I bought it for the pc. Since I'm running it on a Macbook Pro, (Used Bootcamp to partition 40 gigs for Windows) the load times aren't that bad, but they're still noticeably a tad bit longer than others.
