I don't think this thread is too early, and if I don't get it, someone else will, and that's basically Snarkmarks that they're STEALING. From Father Christmas. How dare they. So, um, yeah, whaddya asking for?

My list:

• Creative MuVo Micro N200 256 MB MP3 player, just so I'll have one.
• Digital camera, don't really care too much about it so long as I can take more than 3 pictures and they're nice and clear. My dad said "Don't be surprised if you get a camera for Christmas" so that worked out well. :wink:
• Money, my grandma always gives me $200 anyways.

Yeah, my list kinda sucks, that's why I'm asking for yours.

One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine

Maps! - Audio blog!

1. Printer for my digital camera.

2. Maybe a Wacom tablet...?

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Nothing special really. Christmas has become so commercial, which
sucks. TBH I'd rather not celebrate it at all. Always nice seeing
relatives though.

Sorry if I ruined your Christmas spirit :wink:

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

An Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!

I really want a DS, but I want it in black, so it'd have to be imported from Japan (~$160USD). Which is about $60 more expensive than buying one of the terrible three colors they have here now.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Dude, if it bothers you that much you should just.. um... paint one.. or something.

i have absolutely no idea what i want for christmas, but i dont think i
will get anything since im buying a laptop and my parents told me they
would pay half

i didn't even have to ask

What's Christmas?

Being Pagan and all, we dont celebrate false prophets. But we do
celebrate the Winter Solitce. We make and give each other gifts in my
family. I have to agree with what OtZman said.. its too commercial.

So Christians, enjoy your PAGAN TREE, And WREATHS, YOUR PAGAN LIGHTS and PAGAN HOLIDAY.

In the early years of Christianity, Easter was the main holiday;
the birth of Jesus was not celebrated. In the fourth century, church
officials decided to institute the birth of Jesus as a holiday. </td>

<td class="txt-main" width="100%">Unfortunately, the Bible does not mention
date for his birth (a fact Puritans later pointed out in order to deny
the legitimacy of the celebration). Although some evidence suggests that
his birth may have occurred in the spring (why would shepherds be herding
in the middle of winter?), Pope Julius I chose December 25. It is commonly
believed that the church chose this date in an effort to adopt and absorb
the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival. First called the Feast
of the Nativity, the custom spread to Egypt by 432 and to England by the
end of the sixth century. By the end of the eighth century, the celebration
of Christmas had spread all the way to Scandinavia. Today, in the Greek
and Russian orthodox churches, Christmas is celebrated 13 days after the
25th, which is also referred to as the Epiphany or Three Kings Day. This
is the day it is believed that the three wise men finally found Jesus in
the manger.

By holding Christmas at the same time as traditional winter solstice festivals,
church leaders increased the chances that Christmas would be popularly
embraced, but gave up the ability to dictate how it was celebrated. By
the Middle Ages, Christianity had, for the most part, replaced pagan religion.
On Christmas, believers attended church, then celebrated raucously in a
drunken, carnival-like atmosphere similar to today's Mardi Gras. Each year,
a beggar or student would be crowned the "lord of misrule" and eager celebrants
played the part of his subjects. The poor would go to the houses of the
rich and demand their best food and drink. If owners failed to comply,
their visitors would most likely terrorize them with mischief. Christmas
became the time of year when the upper classes could repay their real or
imagined "debt" to society by entertaining less fortunate citizens.</td></tr>

Christmas is my favorite holiday, if only because of my fond childhood memories of the "magic" of Christmas.

Which is about $60 more expensive than buying one of the terrible three colors they have here now.

Hehe, totally! The pink and blue are crappy, and while the silver one
is nice enough, it isn't part of the new value packs here that come
with Mario Kart DS or Nintendogs. I'm not overly drawn to the DS just
yet anyway, but if I wanted one, I'd be sorely tempted to hang on for
some better colours :biggrin:

As for my list...

Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard - Ok so it's totally over the top, but I can't think of much else!

Logitech MX1000 Cordless Mouse - Same as above really :biggrin:

Maxtor 200gb 7200rpm 16mb cache HDD - I'm ever short of storage space

NFS: Most Wanted (Xbox) - It's need for speed going back to it's police chase roots!

Psychonauts (Xbox) - It's actually coming out here soon; woo!

Infernal Affairs Trilogy DVD set - Awesome films, check them out if you haven't already

Sennheiser MX500 Earphones - My current earphones are on their deathbed

Playgear Pocket (PSP case) - I worry about my PSP's loveliness being damaged!

New wallet

Most of my relatives just give me money to be honest, with the
exception of my parents. Not that I'm complaining. Recently I seem to
have recieved gifts I barely use (my wacom tablet, digital camera), but
I figure I'm definately going to be making use of a new keyboard and
mouse, so as unexciting as they are it's probably far more functional for me.

I totally thought I was going to have a really quiet Christmas this
year as I thought my dad was away working and my sister is spending a
year in New Zealand, but it turns out my Gran, Auntie and Uncle are
coming through to stay, and my Dad actually is back. So hey, that's a
pleasant surprise.

No, I will not paint one. :razz: Anyway, the money it would take to do that would be more than $60, while looking profesional, anyway. (Have to remember I don't want to paint over the decals or the product sticker ... as I get free stuff because of it :smile: )

Reno, we don't have a pink one here, we have Silver, "electric" blue, Teal (packaged with Nintendogs), and "hot rod" red (packaged with Mario Kart).

I've heard rumors that a Black DS will be released with Hunters. Like the HotRod red with Mario Kart.

I'm really excited about Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time. Super Star Saga was really fun.

Yoshi Touch and Go and the new Kirby all look fun. I suppose I can wait until I absolutly have to buy one ... in 2007 when New Super Mario Brothers comes out :biggrin:

The thing that REALLY sucks is this store which previously said they'd only charge an extra ten dollars to import a DS from Japan, any color you want (that's available). Now they're denying that statement

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I have the blue one, it's actually pretty nice. I have Kirby's Canvas Curse, Castlevania, Mario Kart, Mario 64 and WarioWare Touched!. I'm waiting for Animal Crossing and the eventual Metroid Prime game. There are a few others I've seen in passing, but can't think of which ones.

Crono, we have pink as well, the Nintendogs ones are the Teal/Pink variety I think, pretty sure there were two.

Whoah, you guys get... tons for christmas!! (Spoilt basterds)

This christmas im lucky thou. Im getting a new PC. Yipee!!!

I would love to change the world, But they would'nt give me the source code.

I can guarantee you that a new PC is far more expensive than everything
on that list :biggrin: Besides, it's not a "get me it all!" list, it's just a
list of pretty much everything I particularly want at the moment that
people can pick and choose from :smile:

Boo f**king Hoo

Nothing, really. Its not a common thing to give eachother gifts in The Netherlands. We have Sinterklaas though. Its a celebration around the saint Sint Nicolaas, i believe somewhere around 1500 he gave food and cloths to the poor. In that spirit we give eachother gifts at 5 December. Sometimes you pack it up in a so called surprise. Usualy made inspirired by ones actions and hobby's. Not sure how to explain though.

The only thing i can say is that i bought myself a saitek x52 HOTAS I expect it to come in monday or teusday.

Thats about it. :smile:

Anything else I want, such as PC upgrades I get throughout the year and I hardly ever upgrade but one can never have enough clothes. :biggrin:

Damn there are some spoiled people on this forum.

I'm not really going to ask for anything this Christmas (seeing as how
we don't have the money right now to buy anything anyways). I'd rather
just spend the time with family and friends, although I really could
use a copy of Photoshop CS, however I'll probably end up acquiring it
through "less legal ways". Other than that I'm definatly going to be
purchasing some art prints from some of my favorite artists, like Mr.
John Wallins and Craig Mullins.

I think G7 should be taken instead of MX1000, SpoolE, its far more new :razz: I have MX1000 but when it runs out of power, I'll have myself G7.

However, for christmas... I think I'd like to get my character in WoW to level 60 :razz:

Spoole was just quoting me madedog :razz:

But yeah, while the G7 is definately tempting in ways, I'm not to keen
on the lack of side buttons (the MX1000 has back/forward and
application switch, the G7 only has back :sad: ) and it does cost nearly
twice the price. I basically just want a good quality cordless mouse
with no less buttons than my current MS Intellimouse explorer (and side
scrolling wheel would be nice), and apparently the MX1000 fits the
bill. Would you recommend it, despite the fact you want the G7?

Lack of side buttons? Doesn't it have all three side buttons? And Intellimouse < All mice

And yes, I would recommend it. If you were to check the pricetag, you'd want MX1000 but if you have big budget - go for G7.

I don't really WANT anything...

Maybe if this one hot girl I know would finally admit that she likes me, that's be enough for Christmas. (The church she goes to and that I go to sometimes doesn't celebrate Christmas anyway... :redface: )

Sounds like somebody is being a bitter baby because their precious pagan festival was co-opted by Christianity and relegated into a historical funfact. What better way to destroy the competition than by assimilating parts of it?

Yeah... I remember back in Bjarnhaven in 300BC we used to haul in the Yuletide log and hang the christmas lights.

Posting And You

I never really want much for christmas. Being a buddhist i don't really think about the material side of it. I just like being with all my family, or getting wasted .

I would like though

An effects board, X3 reuninion and lots of choccy.

Ieing a buddhist i don't really think about the material side of
it. I just like being with all my family, or getting wasted .

I thought alcohol consumption was inconsistent with a Buddhist's quest to understand and develop the mind.

There's this 'kid' (15 years old) in Ratanapuri who's been meditating for the last six months with no water or food. He's trying to reach enlightenment. Nirvana. Whatever you want to call it.

Could be a ploy, but, that's still impressive. Like that guy who rolled through India. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

There are stories of Buddhist monks achieving amazing feats - surviving overnight at 20,000 feet with only a shawl, going for weeks without food or water, walking barefoot across scaldingly hot rocks without feeling pain, etc. Honestly for many of these stories I actually believe it. They have such control over their mind and body, I could see it happening.

However, 6 months without water is... f**king impossible?

And food.. well maybe he could go for 6 months if he had a good store of fat beforehand, but if he really tries to go 6 years he is going to die, simple as that )-:.

No food and water? Erm...that's a little extreme now , isn't it? He
risks reaching a coma before Nirvana, and all the effort would have
gone to waste (unless coma=Nirvana?).

<span style="color: lightblue;">Must every thread on the Snarkpit become a spiritual discussion?

Hell, as long as the power of meditation and the mind is out there,
http://www.thank-water.net/english/emoto.htm It's all about purifying
water by saying nice things to it :smile:

As for christmas presents, I'm asking for a Medusa 5.1 headset and an Audigy 2 ZS sound card.

o

I wouldnt normally ask for anything, but my parents have specifically asked me to make a list since they dont know much about computers.

I'll probably be putting ram, a DVD burner, and case lights on that list.

Stay well clear of the strobing kind. I love my case. I love my solid lightbar and fan lights. The strobing ones I would lose if I could. I actually have my case covered up ATM because I cannot concentrate on my monitor with that damned flashing nuisance.

Yeah, I'd definitely avoid the strobing kind... I was thinking neons, or those LED fans.

It is scientificaly impossible to go without water for more than about 4 days. 6 months is totaly impossibe, even just sitting.
