    Everyone knows Christmas Eve is the most important day. That's when everyone that matters (all Swedes at least) gets their presents. But it's still to early.

    heh... living in the netherlands pretty much means we don't celebrate Christmas with a 'Santa Claus' ;)... we have "Sinterklaas" instead... just a little different... an older folk-tale than Santa Claus and a different date to celebrate it on.
    I was raised in christian fashion so christmas for me always used to mean church and christmas songs deticated to Jesus and god and such...
    But tonight I'm just gonna go out to town and tomorrow I'm gonna wake up laaaaaate :D

    Well, does your "Sinterklaas" have at least warm clothes? Our Santa (closer to the French version, since we call him Papá Noel) suffers from dehydration every Christmas. Picture an overweight alcoholic old guy with high blood pressure delivering presents to millions of homes in warm clothes... When our current temperature is 30 something Celsius.

    [Edit: Oh, and Merry Christmas to you too, mathboy. Yes, capitalism has made us look forward to the 24th instead of the 25th.)

    Just dehydration? He must a fever or something too...
    Not to mention that we also inherited the having snow decorations, pine trees, and fattening winter foods traditions... In the midst of summer. And it's not like it ever snows here, even in winter.
    Merry Christmas to all!

    You got many presents, mathboy. Enjoy it while you can, when you get older you get fewer, unless you get them yourself.

    So far (I haven't got my family's presents yet) I got:
    A mug
    Jewellery (earrings and a necklace)
    A bikini
    Underwear
    Trainers

    The Logitech G5 (all the new Logitech mouses really) look like they suck. I don't know a lot about them, but I see they have moved the forward button somewhere or removed it, on the last generation of logitech (and the one before that I think) it was in front of the move back button.

    It also seems to lack the scroll up and down buttons over and below the wheel.

    Well, the G5 is designed as gaming mouse, why would it need that? It's got scroll up and down and to both sides, three programmable buttons and changeable dpi value. And then there's the weights which are even more useful than i thought!

    Yay! Merry X-mas!!! It's 11:45 PM here so I'm just in time as it's almost Monday (here at least). Hmm... I got a Creative Zen (which is something like an i-Pod), Turkish Delights (which were actually my mother's but she didn't want them for some reason), Chocolates, and R600 (Rand), which is about $100.

    Edit: We got GMT+2 so meh!
