The Official 2011 Joystiq 'Post Your Swag' post
150
Christmas is about a lot more than presents, you know. Various storied religious histories not withstanding, modern Christmas is about spending time with the people you love and making sure that we as a culture slow down enough to appreciate to the parts of our lives that really, truly matter.
That being said, what better way is there to show your appreciation for another human being than by showering them with materialism? Trick question, Jack! There is no better way to tell someone you love them than by buying them things. It's as simple as that, and since the best part of getting something awesome is bragging about it, let us know all about the baller swag your magnificence earned you this year in our comments section.

I got a 6 amp drill and some socks, I live in an apartment, my preferred past time is sitting on my ass playing Video Games, and don't work construction of any kind: what the hell am I supposed to do with a drill like that?!?!?!

Time alone to catch up on some great gaming. Best Christmas.

@mwmcginnis Shit, I wish I got that on xmas, but instead I had to wash dishes, serve food, and listen to boring conversations.
Demon's Souls collector's edition from my boyfriend's parents, Ico/SotC HD collection from my boyfriend, and Uncharted 3 + Prof. Layton: The Last Spectre from my folks pretty much makes up for it though.

I got a bunch of bacon themed gifts, some comfy pants, and two new sweaters.
Nothing game-wise or DVD-wish whatsoever. That...kinda sucked.

Sorry this is so late, but if you're serious my fiance can do a print for you if you wanted to buy a copy. Here is a link to the picture in her DA account.

Mom woke me up crying that she couldn't get me anything this year do to poverty, her being in the hospital recently, and the fact we may be losing our home soon.
Pretty much the worst holiday

Try not to worry too much, and keep your head up. They say you gotta go through the lowest depths to reach the highest peaks; I know that mantra has gotten me through some real tough times. Good luck to you and your family, and merry christmas.

Some new sweatshirts/pants for working out. A new watch, which is nice since I no longer have to kill the battery on my new iPhone 4s by checking it for the time. Also a KICKASS Lego architecture set, the latest issue of MAD magazine (my sub expired some 5 years ago), and some peanut brittle.

Some killer comfy designer socks. God, they feel good. "The Windup Girl," a rad book I've wanted for awhile, old roommate was thoughtful enough to snatch that up. Um. Lights to put on my bicycle, apparently my mother doesn't want me to get hit by yet another car. That's about it. My fam doesn't really do gifts anymore.
