My Christmas Gifts

Merry Christmas everyone!  I know i'm late, but I just had to get this blog out before the season's cheer was over.  I hope EVERYBODY had a great Christmas, because I know I did.  I had an awesome Christmas, and I decided I wanted to share it with you guys.  Now, you may be wondering, why isn't he just doing this on web cam?  Well, you're about to find out. 

This is a list of all the gifts I recieved for this year's holiday season.

Christmas Eve Items:

A pair of plaid pajama pants (white & grey) - I was really excited for this one.  I tore my other pair of pajamas playing football this past fall, so I needed new comfort for whenever I wanted to kick back and relax. 

Dallas Cowboys T-Shirt - I was also really excited about this one.  I haven't had any new Cowboy's attire in a while, so I really thought this shirt was an awesome add to my collection.

Marion Barber T-Shirt - Again, I was really excited about this gift.  Marion Barber, among all other running-backs in the NFL, he's my second favorite, behind Cadillac Williams (Tampa Bay Buccaneers.)

Axe Kit - I didn't ask for one of these, nor did I expect one.  I like it however, as I love collecting axe cologne.  The kit included: Axe Essence deodorant, Axe Essence Body Spray, Axe Shock shower gel, Axe Primed shampoo, and Axe Lure conditioner.

Christmas Day:

The rest of my list consists of 9 xbox 360 video games, 2 accessories for the 360, and 1 movie.

Xbox 360 Games:

Assassin's Creed - I've never owned a copy of this game, so when I opened it, I was psyched!  I've played through the game on the ps3, and I really enjoyed it.  That was over a year ago.  I'm now excited to say that I have the opportunity to do it again on my Xbox 360!

Assassin's Creed 2 - I haven't played this game yet, but all my friends have told me it's better than the original, so this game should end up as one cool gift!  It looks great from all the reviews I've watched, and i'm very excited about getting it!

Battlestations Midway - I've actually never heard of this game, and now I know why.  It sucks!  Just kidding, but seriously.  I had more fun with TNA Impact than this game.  It's that bad!

Forza Motorsport 3 - I haven't played Forza 3 up until yesterday.  Forza 3 is an outstanding game!  It has great graphics, and really fun game play and camera angles!  It's one of the best racing-simulators I've ever played!

Gears of War 2 - I was feeling left out because I didn't have this game, so, I asked for it.  I got it!  It's an alright game, i'm not really a sell-out for the series like I am for the Left 4 Dead series.  This game is an okay installment though, and it's worth checking out.

Madden 10 - I was getting so sick of not having a football game to play, so I asked for it, and luckily, I received it.  My parents know how big of an NFL fan I am, so I expected this game the most out of all the ones I received.  It's a good game, not great, but good.  It'll do until next year's installment.

Ninja Gaiden 2 - I heard many of things about this game, but I never played this game myself.  I listened to all the advice I got, and I asked for the game.  I haven't played it yet, but i'm not holding out on it, it'll be played by the end of today, mark my words!

Prototype - Prototype is such an awesome game!  I never had given it a chance until I finally played the game, and realized it was awesome!  Overall, Prototype is a very fun game and I look forward to beating the campaign mode.  Don't think i'm going to give the online community a real chance though.

Resident Evil 5 - I'll be completely honest with you guys here.  I've never actually played Resident Evil 5.  It's a very popular title, and it's supposed to be a very fun video game.  I've just never given it a chance.  It never really appealed to me, or at least not like most games I like.  My friend really got pissed at me for never giving the game a real chance, so I asked for it, and of course, I got it.  This is a game I could have done without.  I am very thankful though, and I will play this game, sometime later in the day.

Xbox 360 Accessories

Xbox Live Gold 3-Month Subscription - I really have enjoyed my slim time on Xbox Live, so I asked for a year's worth of Xbox Live.  I got 3 months.  I'm okay with that though, that's still a long time to play online for me.  I can't wait to play all of my new gifts on Xbox Live, and I want to play newer games in the future.

Madcatz Headcom Pro Series headset - My original headset broke, because my little brother threw them at the wall.  So, I needed a new headset, and my parents so gracefully bought me one, since i'm going to be the one on Xbox Live the most. 

Movie:

Terminator Salvation - I really like this movie, I saw it in theatres, and I thought it was really good, and really underrated!  I'm very happy that I got this for Christmas!

Main Gift:

Kodak ZI6 Camcorder with tripod - I am so excited!  I finally have a high quality camera/camcorder, so you will not have to deal with my horrible picture and or sound quality of my videos now, and hopefully i'll receive more subscribers.  It's on it's way to my house right now, I ordered it with my Christmas money, the very little money I received.  I bought the item on sale for $54.10.  I thought it was a good buy, but that's just my opinion!  Whenever I get my camera, i'll turn this blog into s vlog, and you will probably enjoy that a little bit more!

So that's it, that's what I got for Christmas.  I'm very thankful for all the gifts that I got, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of those that are less-fortunate.  I hope you had a great Christmas, and I hope you enjoyed this post!  Thanks a lot!

-Nick
