I remember being a kid on Christmas. It was badass. Waking up, running to the tree, unwrapping “filler” gifts like socks and clothes, just hoping that the video game or console I really wanted was under there somewhere. It usually was; and I’d then spend the rest of the day playing it with my little brother, friends and other prepubescent family members that were over for Christmas dinner. It was the best day ever, renewed annually.

Now things are different. Christmas sucks. What used to be a happy and carefree day has turned into a series of annoying obligations that gets between me and my video games—renewed annually. Between hopping from place to place, celebrating Christmas like a desperate nomad, and not receiving any video games as presents from my “loved ones”, the magic has pretty much expired. I know some of you guys with wives or kids know what I’m talking about. But, what can you do?

Well, I’ll tell you what I’m going to do… I’m going to take Christmas back! I just need to figure out a brilliant plan for next year and then execute. Maybe I’ll purposely get excommunicated from the Catholic Church, or become Jewish but celebrate Christmas in secret away from my family. I don’t know yet—but something needs to be done before I go on a rampage and stab my entire family with sharpened candy canes.

Merry Christmas.

Dear Freeks,

We just wanted to take a quick moment out of this magnificent day to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season.  We really appreciate all of the feedback and praise we have been getting from you lately.  We have mentioned before that we love our customers—and we really mean that.  You guys and gals are the best!

We hope that some of you woke to find a set of FPSFreeks or SpeedFreeks in your stocking, but if all you found was socks—or if you just want another set for a second controller—here is a code worth 10% off any purchase at our store.

Anyway, get back to playing all of those new games and keep on supporting KontrolFreek.

Use coupon code "xmas09" at checkout.

With Christmas apparently only 15 days away, it’s probably about time for you to put down the controller and get out there and shop.  You know—deal with traffic, work through the crowds, worry about stressed-out moms hitting you, being verbally abused by cashiers at their breaking-points—shop.  You have to do it, right?

Wrong!  You could just buy everyone on your list a pair of FPS Freeks and never leave your house!  Not only will your friends love you for it, they will get tons more use out of them than any scented candle or lotion set (not really sure why I chose either of those gifts, I’m usually much better at giving gifts than that).

For $9.99, FPS Freeks give you a lot of bang for your gift-giving buck.  KontrolFreek products make perfect stocking-stuffers and are great for friends or “Secret Santa’s” who you don’t want to spend a lot of money on.

So, be a hero.  Give the gift of more kills.  Give them KontrolFreek.
