It's almost Christmas time! What plans do you have? Anything special you got already? That kind of thing. We didn't have a topic for this yet, so...!
 
LET'S CELEBRATE WITH ONE OF THE WORST SPECIALS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!111!!
 
I'll spend Christmas with my family and other relatives tomorrow, and I've ordered two things for myself. I'll post pictures when I get them.
 
No plans in particular, just gonna open presents and eat steak I guess. I received Super Mario Odyssey as a early Christmas present and have been enjoying it for the majority of this month and am looking forward to whatever else I'm getting this year.
 
See family, eat lots of food, drink lots of alcohol, open gifts
 
emerge for an hour in the morning whilst the holiday traditions commence, then retreat back into my room and resume slumber until late afternoon. gonna wing it from there
 
Looking forward to crab.
 
Probably normal stuff really. The only thing that's different is that we plan to attempt to play all 144 Mario Kart courses we have access to over the entire period- also known as extreme hand cramp.

Remove this line from all context and it can become very ominous.

I, too, am looking forward to Crab
 
Heading to our great-grandmother's house for the celebration we have every year. Beyond that, probably just playing Kirby: Planet Robobot.
 
all I got for christmas today was a lovely trip interstate to see my grandmother, whose health and mood has gotten considerably better since we arrived, and to drive my car (which used to be hers) home at the end of this trip because I've finished paying it off to her in person.

im very grateful for this holiday :ashley:
 
merry christmas

i got food and clothes

my sister gave me back the money she owed me

time to play some games
 
My friend got me a Switch and Super Mario Odyssey, and that's because he's extremely grateful for supporting him as much as we could when he had leukemia. He's out of the hospital, the cancer being gone, and I'm extremely grateful, but it's going to be hard to top a free Switch and Odyssey as a gift. I have 400 in Christmas money, I hope I put that to good use especially saying thanks to him back.

Heh, I admit I chuckled at that.

I am not sure about crab actually, but I did gorge on beef liver via Chinese hotpot and it's as good as I remember it.

Cool, it's cool that you and BLOF finally got a Switch as a present, it's hard to resist that. Now, you don't need to wait for the perfect opportunity anymore. ;D

I still am waiting for the perfect opportunity for the rest of the Wii U games to come to Switch before I get my Switch.
 
This year I got:

~32" Flat Screen TV
~Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
~Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
~Sonic Forces
~ARMS
~Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga DX+Bowser's Minions
~Pokemon Ultra Sun
~Pokemon Ultra Moon
~Metroid: Samus Returns
 
I didn't get anything. My family isn't big on Christmas so not surprising. Also nothing I really want :P just being happy is good enough :D
