I can't believe Christmas got here so fast; usually I enjoy this time of year. This year I wasn't really in the spirit, mainly because all our decorations (which get me in the spirit) are packed up. Tbh, I wasn't expecting to get anything this year, since we are still strapped for cash since we lost our house last December (and that ruined Christmas for me last year), but was surprised to get some of the things I wanted.

The things I got:
Left 4 Dead 2 (and it's strategy guide)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 1024MB DDR3 video card (1 part of an upgrade to my computer)
Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W power supply (required for the new video card and second part of the upgrade)
2 8GB DT101 G2 thumb drives

...as well as the deviantART premium membership my sis gave me earlier this month (thanks again)!

Things I wanted but didn't get:
Portal 2 (I wanted this the most)
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Ozzy Osbourne's latest album "Scream"

...as well as new speakers for my computer, since my current ones are pretty much dead (and I've been using my headphones the past few weeks.)

That was the whole list; I didn't ask for much (due to the aforementioned problem.) At least I got half of what I wanted, though the upgrade was planned since I got this computer, and the thumb drives weren't actually on the list (I have been asking for these though.) And like I said, I really wanted Portal 2...

Not the best of Christmases, but certainly not the worst (a la last year). But nonetheless...

Merry Christmas!
