Both Baldur's Gates, Ice Wind Dales, Arcanum, The Witcher pack, Planescape Torment, Skyrim, Fallout 2.. That's about it. And I have never finished any of those great games! Gonna have fun!
Some GOGs, clothes, music.

Yep.
I'm just compiling a list of games that I should check at home whether the original CDs install ok on Win7 64bit, and whether I should buy them also from GOG. Besides that there are quite a few interesting GOG games that I don't own at all yet...

Besides games, I'm itching of buying some powerful "desktop replacement" laptop, but frankly if I was sane, I'd postpone it to the future because I have several a bit older laptops (and a desktop) already, and my backlog is mostly games that run great on them.

Then I've been thinking of buying a tablet PC for my gf (I'd use it too), but I have no idea whether I should go with IPad2 or some Android tablet like Samsung Galaxy Tab. I'd prefer Android, but then I don't know if IPad is just so much more coherent environment, no guesswork which Android apps are suitable for the tablet etc.?

My gf loved the IPad2 we tried on a shop yesterday, but frankly I was a bit unimpressed. Writing with the virtual keyboard was much more cumbersome than I had thought, but maybe it just needs some getting used to. But I'd like the idea of a small "PC" that can be genuinely used on sofa, bed, toilet... Even more mobile than a laptop.

Also I don't like the fact that to me the tablet PCs seem wildly overpriced compared to e.g. laptops, but then maybe the touchscreen technology costs so much... or maybe not, since there are very low price touchscreen phones as well? I'd like to have even more competition on tablet PCs before I buy one, I think the Apple and Samsung are reaping far too high margins for their products currently. For the 700€ I'd pay for IPad 2 toy, I could get quite a few GOG games.

Unfortunately also the games I've seen in live for e.g. IPad2 have been quite unimpressive. The graphics can be quite great, but the gameplay at least in the action titles seems lacking and very restricted. It is as if they are still trying to figure out what kind of games would work the best for touch screens.

Man, you sure sound a lot more boring than your nickname would suggest ;)

I wish I could argue that point...
I bought 26 GOGs for $83 (felt like it was really big purchase but it's actually less than the price of 1 new retail console game!)
Tomorrow I'm going to buy some clothes/shoes

Then either a smartphone, or an SSD + some PC memory (one of my 2GB memory sticks died recently)
Bought components for a new computer a few days ago, so I'll be putting that together over the holidays as my big present to myself.
Lots of free time since have to look for work again as of last friday :/. Ah well.
Dunno. I spend too much as it is. Few games on GOG and on steam sale?....Would love to go on a holiday, but the money thing.....

I already picked up my Christmas+Birthday pressie (B'day is end of Jan) early during the D&D sale.
Still ... I might pick up Lands of Lore 1+2

Adzeth: A lot of everyday food.
I'm done with the "Oh snap, I ran out of bread, milk, everything. Even the porridge is gone!.. and there are no open stores anywhere near here! Aaargh!" holidays. I've gone through that so many times, and I'll try to never do it again.
One redeeming feature of Christmas here is that everywhere is open as normal. It's Chinese New Year where most places close but if all else fails McD's and KFC are open and they deliver.
We might go out for Christmas dinner or (my preference) just order in pizza and have a lazy day.
