Hello all,

We have one of these every year, so here you are, post what you got for Christmas :)

Santa didn't visit my flat but I forgot to tell him I moved so he should have left everything at my Mums for me, where I'm going in a few hours :P

Fire away!

I haven't opened anything yet, it is only 1 AM PST here.

However, yesterday I was given a Dell Precision M60 with 2 Gb. of ram. I wiped the hard drive which had Ubuntu and installed Vista.

It's either Fender OR Squier, Squier's not a model, it's a brand like Fender. Model can be telecaster, stratocaster, jazzmaster, bullet, etc. You should have the model name on the guitar's head ;)

nothing yet :S
No one else is awake yet, which is odd because I'm usually the last person to wake up on xmas mornings. It's almost 8AM. I think I should go about waking all my siblings up, and force them to open presents, just so I don't look like the bad guy :D

Yeah, it's made by Fender though, that's why I was putting it. I thought it a but odd that there was no model; then I looked again; it's a Mini.

A pretty sweet haul. Some new clothes, a nice SEKONDA watch, a book on how to do everything, a PS3 slim, and a nice noticeboard for my room. Oh, and some boots which I've yet to try on properly.

Cnosider your self lucky, my brother woke me up at 5:45 this morning.

Anyway, I really only got the laptop listed in my previous post. My other items are small stuff like a book and some small food items.

I still didn't get a liquid cooled Core i7 980X computer...
