Let me make a start, because I have received three language-related Christmas presents:
1. A language-calendar 2011 with exercises in French 2. Prisma Taalbeheersing: Grammatica Nederlands, 256 pages 3. A Dutch language quiz called "Taal Hobbel" (with difficult questions!) Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 24 December 2010 at 7:48pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I still have a few hours to go before it's gift receiving time here in Canada, but I'd be surprised if I received anything related to languages. You've obviously got good elves around you!

At the last year my father gave me a Japanese-Portuguese Dictionary.

The closest I will probably ever get to a language-related gift is a gift card to Borders or Amazon.com.
Nobody in my family (the family I have left) really has much interest in languages. Even if they did, they probably realize that I know what I would want or need better than they could guess, so it's usually gift cards. Truth be told, I prefer it that way.

I didn't get anything particularly related to language learning, but last week I bought myself a DVD-box with all animated Tintin episodes (#3-#23; #1,2 and 24 have not been animated)) - with Mandarin audio+subtitles (simplified characters), and yesterday Complete Sherlock Holmes arrived in the mail.

I will use the Amazon gift card I usually get.
My friend is going to get my Harry Potter in Japanese when she goes back to Japan. I can get it on Amazon but the price seems a little high. Still thinking about getting a Kindle. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Kindle is the name of the portable reader from Amazon:
