well most of this thread was a joke...

but also yeah, skiing is one of the most expensive sports. the average NSer probably lives in an above average income household, or comes from an above average income family.

not saying every NSer is wealthy, but the majority of us probably are.

also, that doesn't mean every NSer is spoiled. just because you get incredible gifts doesn't mean you're spoiled. it's all about what you give, as well as how you appreciate and use the gifts you're given.

they're actually ski gloves if you couldn't tell. i've heard good things about them and finally get to try them out in the next few days. they'll be a nice change from all gore-tex gloves for days that aren't windy.

got the rest of christmas today, which include a Carhartt Detroit jacket, Arc'teryx toque, some rei gift cards and line ski suspenders

As well as a new belt, yoga mat, ski tuning / waxing kit, some Gap corduroys, some lightweight leather work gloves for skiing, jumper cables, a headlamp, 3 stooges dvd's, some other small stuff.

Considering I only asked for the hat and tuning/wax kit, I am very happy. Also won $27 in lottery tickets! Woooo gas money!

you do realize that christmas isnt just for kids, right? i can understand growing out of halloween, but christmas? the whole idea is to give presents and get presents, not just have mom and dad buy you a bunch of shit for no reason. sounds like youre family just sucks, which has nothing to do with how old you are.

I already know I got 2 lohi sweatshirts, saga snow pants and another saga sweatshirt.

Gonna be that guy, but Christmas isn't about presents, its about Jesus's birth and spending time with people you care about, and thats coming from someone who isnt even very religious anymore says a lot in my opinion, but I'm sure ill get a lot of hate from ns' sub 18 self proclaimed agnostics and athiests population

My parents both treated themselves to new cars(one was late November, my dads purchasing one tomorrow) they had their previous ones for quite some time, so they deserved it. My brother and I got them some clothes, my mom loves the muppets christmas carol and i got her that on dvd since it got rereleased. Dont really think they got much else. And my cat got 3 catnip balls.

Grandparents: $500 cash

Girlfriend: Samsung Galaxy S3 and a bluetooth speaker for it

Brother: A really sick Gibson beer glass with Gibson coasters

Sister: New glassware for my and my girlfriend's house since I've had the same glasses since college.

Sister's boyfriend: Two six packs of beer that I like from a local brewery

Girlfriend's brother/sister: Two t-shirts from J. Crew

Girlfriend's parents: Two sweaters, a new coffee table book (1001 cars you have to drive before you die), and a set of those adjustable pressure wrench/pliers things where you just squeeze lightly and they grip ridiculously hard. They're sick.
