If Father Christmas brought you everything you asked for this year, then a) you're very lucky and b) you probably want to crow about it here. That's why we've opened up the comments for you to brag, boast and bray about your Nintendo-related Christmas presents.
Whether you got the DSi XL you've been asking for, that super-rare copy of Stadium Events on NES or a pair of Super Mario pyjamas, let us know and feel free to share pictures below in the comments.
From everyone here at Nintendo Life we wish you a very merry Christmas. Happy gaming!

Got myself Donky Kong Coutry and Black Ops for the Dsi. Very happy with both.
I got Coal, Shaped like Mario's head.
@JumpMad - I wish I could be that bad.
I got a slap across the face.
Only Nintendo things right? I got Epic Mickey for Wii and Sonic 4 for Wiiware. Not bad .
Mario Anniversary Collection- it's the only game on the Wii that appealed to me in the last six months or longer.
Oh and Intellivision Lives on the DS.
Kirby Epic Yarn and Epic Mickey. It's an epic Christmas!
My wonderful wife gifted me Epic Mickey. We both love it so far! We've already had Kirby Epic Yarn and love that game too!
My wife bought me the original Super Mario Bros. for the Famicom Disk System and Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes for DS.
Me and my brothers collectively got:
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Rock Band 3
Boo, Cheep-Cheep, Wario's Hat, and Dedede plushes

I'm happy with both DKCR was fun (played multiplayer with little brother). Im probably saving the Wii Points for BIT.TRIP FLUX and Sonic 4 E2. And maybe I can't wait and download the only BIT.TRIP game I don't have yet: Core.
To my full surprise Father Christmas gave me a Gamecube with the Gameboy Player included. Said something about" told your friends months ago" and went away... Now i can finally play my beloved GBA classics on the big screen
I gets 'Sonic Colours' and the Mario 25th pack!
The 24th I got (that's right, Swedes are all cheaters who get gifts on the 24th!) Golden Sun: Dark Dawn! x=) I have yet to receive all my presents though, so I may very well receive something more.... With Steams holiday sale I've been spending a lot of time with computer games, but perhaps GG: DD will prove to be a real C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!! .... Probably.
Donkey Kong Country Returns and Mario 25th Anniversary Collection.
Infinite space, 2 nintendo points cards and a yoshi plush.

well actually I got Chrono Trigger for the DS, but I already had it, so I'm going to return it. I still acted like I loved it though! (it was from my uncle, who fortunately included the receipt)
Waiting for my Epic Mickey Collectors Edition and Goldeneye 007 w/ Gold CC Pro to come in on Tuesday and Monday respectively. And really wanting an Xbox 360 as well so I can get my MvC3 on in Feburary. Merry Xmas people
I got this weeks DKC Returns and 2 days ago Mario Galaxy 2. And a friend give me Contra Shattered Soldier (without blocket, ups). And i back to play again my Virtual Boy (it´s awesome). Ahhh, and i bought online DragonQuest III for GBColor and Metroid Zero Mission for GBAdvance (but it lacks memory, ups again).
And almost forget, i hope to buy Epic Mickey and Goldeneye in this week or the next.
No Nintendo swag this year from my family. The target gift card may go towards games partially though. My BF and I haven't exchanged gifts yet either, so I may have gotten something from him.
As far as gaming stuff goes, I got Sonic Colors for the DS, Donkey Kong Courtry Returns, a 2000 points card, Dragon's Lair Trilogy, Epic Mickey, Intellivision Lives!, 999, Muramasa, and Super Scribblenauts. I also got the two shirts and the DeDeDoll from Brawl in the Family and the DVD of Scott Pilgrim. And it would seem that in the near future I will be getting SnowBoard Kids 2. I feel pretty lucky to have gotten such a nice haul, though I don't think my backlog is thanking me.

My mommy got me Super Mario All-Stars when what I really wanted was Super Mario Galaxy 2. That's... kind of disappointing. But hey, I never really expected to get video games anyway and planned on buying many things after the holidays, so I suppose I should be grateful that I got anything at all.
merry christmas all
4 new games to keep us plenty busy until Littlebigplanet 2 comes out
epic mickey
kirby's epic yarn
DKCR
Mario vs Donkey Kong Mini-Land Mayhem !!
hope everyone's day was great
A lot of people are getting Super Mario All-Stars Wii. I guess the clerks must be recommending it.
Or maybe it’s because it's cheap.
Got me some moneys and vouchers for EB games going to save them for a 3DS !
Super Mario Galaxy and Little King's Story. And money that I'm totally gonna spend on more games.
Mario Galaxy 2, and DJ Hero 2
Nothing Ninty-related yet, (shocking, right?) but hopefully I'll pick up some Nintendo loot tomorrow.
Got Goldeneye and Disney Epic Mickey. Goldeneye multi is a lot of fun, have to delve into the single player more. Great Christmas fun.
I was surprised and pleased to get Sonic Colours for Wii. I wanted it, but didn't ask for it as I knew my parents were getting me a Fujifilm S2500HD for Christmas.
Other than that I got a Smugleaf Poke Doll, Yoshi Rucksack and 12 Months Xbox Live Gold. Oh, and a Mario Kart Pez-style dispenser.
I got NBA Jam (I'm surprised nobody else has listed this one, yet), Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, and Kirby's Epic Yarn, all for Wii.
@93 You mean a Snivy Pokédoll, right?
@Bulbasaurus Rex
Well I'd go as far as saying it's a Tsutarja Poke Doll, since I generally tend to refer to her by her Japanese name, plus as the Poke Doll itself is a Japanese import, I guess it makes more sense. But yes, I do know, strictly speaking, she's called Snivy, but whaddaya gonna do?
Also, lucky you getting Kirby, we have to wait until February still.
didn't get any games, almost too old to be getting gifts at all. i'm considering buying kirby with some of my christmas money though.
I got Flingsmash (with a black Wii Remote Plus), a black Nunchuck, Epic Mickey, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Metroid: Other M, and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Best Christmas my Wii has ever seen!
@Nintenzo Ocarinas totally count, Nintendo made gamers frantically search the web for the best value on an ocarina. Then there was another search for online ocarina lessons. It counts.
I got Rock Band 3 drums.
We're a Nintendo family:
Wife: EA Sports Active 2
Daughter: Pink DSi, Zhu Zhu Pets 2 DS, Disney Princess Enchanted Journey Wii, PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure Wii, Littlest PetShop 3 DS
Oldest Son: Black DSi, Pokémon Soulsilver DS, Super SribbleNauts DS, Kirby's Epic Yarn Wii
Youngest Son: Wii Party
Me: Final Fantasy The 4 Heroes of Light DS, Golden Sun Dark Dawn DS, Professor Layton and the Curious Village DS
Looking for our 3rd straight platinum Nintendo year.
A new red Wii and Super Mario All-Stars LE.
Merry Christmas everyone!
@Corbs: Nice! I got Might And Magic too. :3
My favorite present is easily the RetroDuo NES/SNES system I got. Been reliving old memories with my siblings all day... :3
Goldeneye, Golden Sun Dark Dawn, DKCReturns and Epic Mickey.
Nuff said.
The only games I got on Nintendo consoles this year were Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for Wii and Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure. I've been seeing more transparent green cases this year...
On the other hand, my sister got a Harvest Moon game for DS, Glory of Heracles (that was accidentally tagged to me not her), and Disney Epic Mickey (which was on both my and her wish lists).
Tatsunoko Vs Capcom.
15$ game stop gift card
30$ amazon gift card
Bent on what to get...
I got New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario Party DS, 1000 Nintendo points and one of those plastic cases you put DS games in and you can see inside because it's clear. It holds 6 games.
Sonic Colours, DKCR, Metroid: Other M and Epic Mickey, as well as Super Scribblenauts. And a pair of slippers.
I received Wind Waker,Four Swords Adventures, a Legend of Zelda wallet, and a Gamecube memory card.
I got:
Goldeneye with golden classic controller pro
Mario vs DK: Mini Land Mayhem
Lego Harry Potter for the DS
Super Mario Allstars Anniversary Edition
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Life is good!
@expa0 How is Lost kingdoms? I've been thinking of getting it but wasn't sure how much I would like it.
@mariofanatic128 Probably gonna take me a long time before I get around to really play it. But from what little I have tried it, It reminds me of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories on GBA, so I suppose If you like RPGs and don't mind it being card-based then this one's for you. Also in case you care it has 60HZ support, which is nice.
A black Bob-omb (No really, it's sitting on my desk staring at me right now.)
@expa0 Thanks, I think I'll get it at some point.

The rest (non Nintendo-related) are a John Lennon book, a Douglas Adams book, recording equipment for my home studio setup, a Dylan CD, a Clapton CD, and Genesis of the Daleks on DVD (classic Doctor Who).
I played Wii Sports Boxing to celebrate Boxing Day.
