Did you get the sword, jewelry, book, game etc. etc you wanted for Christmas? Please tell us about it here!

Elanor · 12-25-2002, 07:36 AM

Happy Christmas! I am doing this very quickly, my relatives think I'm a bit strange coming online on Christmas Day! I got a fab quiz book of LotR questions, the CD of the TT soudtrack and the Visual Companion. My father gave them to me, and I gave him exactly the same! NOT by design, I hasten to add.

Got to go, the turkey is being carved!
Merry Christmas everyone...

Dark Shadow · 12-25-2002, 07:37 AM

uh, so far i've had a jigsaw puzzle, i'm getting two books, a calendar... oh, an my brother got the two towers PS2 game. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] pretty good so far.

Eärendil · 12-25-2002, 10:03 AM

I had asked for a HoME-book: The Lost Road and other writings. I got it! I knew I was going to get it, but still...it was very nice. I will start reading it soon, after I have finished LotR for the 9th time, and read Morgoth´s Ring... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I got loads of other things, but not Tolkien-related. It was a very nice Christmas. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (We celebrate it the 24th in Sweden btw.)

Luinëcolloien · 12-25-2002, 10:29 AM

Nianna Telmnar · 12-25-2002, 11:47 AM

My father dosen't understand my obsession so I got nothing LOTR from him. *sadness* BUT that is ok b/c i got plenty of gift cards from my relatives...so as soon as I can I'm going to by my own LOTR stuff. Namely a copy of all 3 books, the Silm, and the DVD of FOTR.

~ ah well, trust not to others what you can do yourself.

Beren87 · 12-25-2002, 11:59 AM

As I gaze across the christmas wrapping strown floor I see:
1.The LotR desk calender
2. 3 Lotr chocolate bars (which I can't decide to eat or not)
3.FotR extended edition (with bookends ^_^)
4.FotR Xbox game
5.pants (non-Lotr, but still sweet)

1. FotR game for PS2
2. FotR Calander
3. The TTT Soundtrack (which has wonderful music, may I add)
4. The Silmarillion (Which I am looking forward to reading)

I'm going to my cousins today and they know I'm obsessed with LotR and I'm sure they got me something Tolkien related. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Once again, Merry Christmas everyone! *hugs*

Morima · 12-25-2002, 01:37 PM

I got a Wacom table! Then I got an action figure of Saruman. His palantír was orange and looked like one too, so I painted it black.

Manwe Sulimo · 12-25-2002, 01:45 PM

Hmmm...I got nothing LotR-related....I guess I spent all my "gift points" on my new guitar....oh, and the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. Seems pretty good, as it has a quote that says

Quote:

Stands with The Lord of the Rings as one of the most resonant fantasies of our time.

I hope it lives up to that comparision [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Meela · 12-25-2002, 01:54 PM

where do u get all these bookmarks... especially the ones with the one ring on the end! and does anyone know where i can get elf ears?

Gorwingel · 12-25-2002, 02:12 PM

I guess everyone else in the entire world got TTT soundtrack, because I did not get it [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Though my sister said they could not find it at Target, so I am going to have to get it later.
So the only LOTR related thing I received was the FOTR desktop calendar, which is a great thing to countdown to the ROTK!

Carlas · 12-25-2002, 02:46 PM

I got the game boy advance game and the TTT soundtrack!!!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I got lotz of books too!!!
Merry X-mas peepl!!!!!

Maylin · 12-25-2002, 02:46 PM

This wasn't really Tolkien related, but then again, I get to serch for LotR stuff on it..

I got a new computer!!! After asking for one for 4 years [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It has a printer, cd burner, and a dvd player(huge smile)

i didn't get much else

Frieda · 12-25-2002, 04:06 PM

I got the Lord of the Rings Two Towers video game for PS2 as well as the one for Gameboy Advance.

I also got a Lord of the Rings chess game.

Anyways, where do they sell the action figures? I've never really seen them and I'm curious to take a look at them to see what they're like and see if I might wanna buy one or two. ^_^

Orual · 12-25-2002, 04:09 PM

Most of what I got was LotR...but then, most of what I asked for was LotR!

A Tolkien calendar with illustrations by Ted Nesmith
Faramir and Eomer action figures (now I'll act out the Ithilien scene the RIGHT way!)
The Lord of the Rings version of Risk. Guess I'll have to learn how to play it!
A cool bookmark with Frodo and Sam--Meela, I find all of my bookmarks at Barnes and Noble's.
The FotR Extended Version! Whee! No bookends, but that's cool with me!

Not a bad haul, if I do say so myself. I hope everyone has had a blessed day. Merry Christmas, y'all!

12-25-2002, 05:18 PM

I didn't get anything, but I got my best friend Two Towers midnight showing tickets. When I gave them to her on the Monday before it came out we screamed in each other's faces for five minutes. We had a wonderful time!

Birdland · 12-25-2002, 05:30 PM

I didn't get anything Tolkien related for Christmas, but I ate and drank like a Hobbit!

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Maikadilwen · 12-25-2002, 05:35 PM

I finally got HoME X Morgoth's Ring. I've been screaming for that one for a year now. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well, actually it was a belated birthday present, but since my b-day was the 19th and I got it the 21st I consider it a mix. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I didn't get my own Smeagol, though...

Alkanoonion · 12-25-2002, 06:12 PM

I got 2 books the first was lord of the rings The two Towers Creatures

and the second was lord of the rings The two Towers Photo Guide

I also got the PC game The lord of the rings the fellowship of the ring

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

DaughterofVana · 12-25-2002, 06:27 PM

Didn't recieve anything LOTR related--I think my family doesn't want to encourage something that is supposed to be "a passing phase"! Guess they forgot about my uncle--got into the books when he was twelve and he's fifty now, and has the trilogy leatherbound and in state on the top shelf of his bookcase.

Going to buy the TT soundtrack with the gift-certificate I got to Target. Catch-all department store that sells about everything you can imagine. I wonder if they have any Targets in Europe...

Oh, and Happy Chanukah to those who apply! (little late though, but I guess you still could have gotten something Tolkien-related)

-'Vana

Samwise · 12-25-2002, 07:02 PM

Sigh...nope. My family dosen't "get" LOTR. My dad even watched my video once, and it was just an adventure story to him, I think. Oh, well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I can always get LOTR stuff for myself.

steve · 12-25-2002, 07:30 PM

I got Sauron (battle of LA) Gandalf and Shadowfax Easterling warrior and Treebeard action figgures, along with other non related
Lotr items

Lindolirian · 12-25-2002, 08:54 PM

HoMe 9 and 10.... thats all... sigh

MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie · 12-25-2002, 08:57 PM

I got LotR books in one big book and the sil because my other versions were falling apart, literally. I also got FotR for X-Box. I'm really glad I go x-box finally, but FotR for it isn't that great, I played it before, but I'm still happy. Went to bed at three; finished wrapping presents. Really tired right now [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] , but still happy [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] .

Well, Frida, there are a few places you can try. First... Suncoast Videos seems to get the rarer ones, Second... KBee Toys usually has a lot but not the newest ones, Third... my mom has found a lot at Target, and lastley... you can find anything on Ebay.

I found all of the bookmarks at B.Dalton Books (usually in malls). Barnes and Nobles also seems to get all of them. Don't go to Borders because they don't get that many & they don't put the protective plastic things on them.
Elf ears... any costume shop should sell the ears.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 12-25-2002, 09:53 PM

Now we get to what I got for X-Mas... oh my parents have spoiled me... and going by these you'll probably all think I am younger than I really am [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

~12 inch figures: Frodo, Gandalf, Legolas, Arwen, & Eowyn
~Action figures: Gondorian Ranger, Easterling, Faramir, & Legolas
~FOTR playing cards in collectable tin (these are soooo cool!)
~Ringwraiths T-shirt
~FOTR game for PS2
~2 boxes of TTT movie cards (but I still didn't get an autograph card with that many! Well, poo!)
~Applause brand toys: Frodo & Sam, and Treebeard w/Merry and Pippin
~TTT poster (teaser one)

Galadel Vinorel · 12-25-2002, 09:59 PM

I recieved the LOTR Soundtrack for Christmas. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!

Also, well, I don't know if this counts, but my birthday is December 21st, only four days from Christmas, I got LOTR: FOTR Extended Version VHS!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I was SO happy when I saw it that I nearly cried, and my parents looked at me as if I was VERY STRANGE. (They do not understand why I like LOTR so much. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well, I had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope that you all did as well. Merry Christmas, everyone!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Marsyas · 12-25-2002, 10:04 PM

I got the 4-disc extended collector's edition dvd from my boyfriend. I got it about 2 weeks early (he said he couldn't wait) but oh well. I'm happy!!

*~Marsyas~*

Tigerlily Gamgee · 12-25-2002, 10:14 PM

Oh yeah, I forgot... I also got a 4-book set of the Histories of Middle Earth. I am excited to read those (hopefully I can finish those and everything else I need to before next Dec when I go to the Toronto gathering).

No bookends, but that's cool with me! Not a bad haul, if I do say so myself. I hope everyone has had a blessed day. Merry Christmas, y'all! ~~Orual~~ [ December 25, 2002: Message edited by: Orual ] __________________ "Oh, my god! I care so little, I almost passed out!" --Dr. Cox, "Scrubs"

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Well, actually it was a belated birthday present, but since my b-day was the 19th and I got it the 21st I consider it a mix. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I didn't get my own Smeagol, though... __________________ -"Death borders upon our birth, and our cradle stands in the grave.

Guess they forgot about my uncle--got into the books when he was twelve and he's fifty now, and has the trilogy leatherbound and in state on the top shelf of his bookcase. Going to buy the TT soundtrack with the gift-certificate I got to Target. Catch-all department store that sells about everything you can imagine. I wonder if they have any Targets in Europe... Oh, and Happy Chanukah to those who apply! (little late though, but I guess you still could have gotten something Tolkien-related) -'Vana __________________ "There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious.

My dad even watched my video once, and it was just an adventure story to him, I think. Oh, well.

I also got FotR for X-Box. I'm really glad I go x-box finally, but FotR for it isn't that great, I played it before, but I'm still happy. Went to bed at three; finished wrapping presents. Really tired right now [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] , but still happy [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] .

Also, well, I don't know if this counts, but my birthday is December 21st, only four days from Christmas, I got LOTR: FOTR Extended Version VHS!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I was SO happy when I saw it that I nearly cried, and my parents looked at me as if I was VERY STRANGE. (They do not understand why I like LOTR so much. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Well, I had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope that you all did as well. Merry Christmas, everyone!!
