Merry Christmas, one and all. It's that time of the year when we feign goodwill, selflessness and love for our fellow man, when deep down, all we really care about is the good food and the mountain of swag. Unless you're an orphan, of course, because you get NOTHING.

With that in mind, Destructoid now asks what YOU got this year. What meaningless stuff now lies upon the floor, surrounded by shredded pieces of expensive novelty paper? We want to know.

Read on to find out what the Destructoid staff got (the staff members sober enough to send me an email, anyway) and don't forget to swing by and let us know what toys and trinkets have been gifted by the loved ones who are now upset because all you got them was a Walmart gift card.

Grim: I got the one thing I truly wanted for Christmas, and that's a pair of kickass slippers. It's freezing up here in Michigan and this really was the perfect gift. Seeing as how all I ever do is buy videogames, I just got Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts which is perfectly fine by me.

Topher: Among other delightful things probably better suited for Tomopop, I got a Dualshock 3. Super Stardust HD is entirely too excited to have rumble. Calm that shit down, Housemarque. Not everything should make the controller shake.

Nick: Topher got me Lumines Supernova!

Jim: I received my grandparents' present before I left Engand. Sweet black parka. Makes me look like a killer. My wife kickstarted my collection of DVDs that actually properly work in the country with series one of the excellent Peep Show. I also got a tea kettle from my wife's parents, following complaints that my other half lacked one.

Oh, and the PS3 was an early present me and the lady got for ourselves. Ironically using money earned by pissing off PS3 fans. ;-)

Colette: From Niero: a canon rebel digital camera and a 10 inch up laptop. From
mom:  iPhone. I'm so overwhelmed I don't know what to play with first!

Topher: YAY REVIEWS!

DMV: Books galore. The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, DC Guide to Comic Writing, Audacity of Hope, Pnin, I Am Legend, Milk (A history of the substance, not about Harvey Milk), and several others. Some clothes, and then the Blu-rays. Band of Brothers, Baraka, Cloverfield, The Dark Knight, and Planet Earth. No videogames, but I have enough to play as-is. The Wind Up Bird Chronicle is fantastic ^_______^

Conrad: Jeans, belts and desperately needed sneakers. My lunatic uncle gave me a pair of boxer shorts with glow-in-the-dark shamrocks, horseshoes and rabbit feet (the pith helmet I'm wearing in my avatar photo was another Xmas gift from him years ago). I'm most excited over a gorgeous set of non-stick cookware. I may be the most boring person on this website.

Ashley: As far as video game related things are concerned, I got Persona 4 (!!!) and a Mario Kart themed toothbrush that plays music for two minutes. Otherwise, I got a bunch of Japanese candy.

Hamza: I got nothing.

Jim: Fucking orphans.
