As we all know, Christmas can be a really stressful time. Presents need to be bought, decorations need to be hung, food needs to be prepared and visiting the family needs to be arranged. Yes, it’s a time of the year that you either love or hate, but for gamers, it’s a time to bash those buttons and yell in those headsets because Christmas gaming is a time to get merry and have some fun.

Forget finding out what song is going to make it to Christmas number one this year, we all know it’s going to be someone who wins a reality TV singing show. What we want to know is what game is going to make it to Christmas number one. Yes, this is an important issue in the gaming world, and with all sorts of games being released in November and December, it’s quite clear that developers/publishers want the Christmas title. I’m sure we’ve all got some idea of what we all want the top Christmas game to be, so why not discuss this over in the forums!

Speaking of which, I think it’s time to share your ‘Christmas Gaming Wish List’, or CGWL for short. We all hope to open up our presents on Christmas morning and find that one item, or several items, that we have wanted so much, so maybe if you get your CGWL out there in the open, someone might just take the hint and make you a happy person on Christmas Day. My personal CGWL comprises of ‘Tomb Raider: Underworld’, ‘Scene It: Box Office Smash’ and ‘Rock Band 2’. But what do you want?

Whether or not you get what you want for Christmas, I want to know how fellow gamers are going to be celebrating this merry time of the year. What I really want to know is, have you ever celebrated Christmas online, with your buddies from your friends list, or are you more inclined to spend it with your friends and family? Let me know in the forums, where I hope you’ll all be actively discussing this very merry article!
