Presents for you and yours
 
Well, what is everybody getting each other for Christmas? I'm getting diabetic chocolates for my mom, but I don't know what tog et my dad, because eh's into high-tech (read: expensive) toys, like portable DVD players, PDAs and audio systems. Ideas?

Hrm.... It would just depend on your dad's taste. My dad for instance, is really big into hunting, so I went and bought him a new super bright flashlight for when he's stuck in the woods searching for a deer he's shot ^^

I have no money, so whatever I buy would come out of my parents wallet, so I told them to buy themselves whatever they wanted, and it would be justified as their Christmas present from me.

I got my girlfriend books...she likes books (and since she comes here I can't tell you which ones). And I got my Mom an alarm clock with a snooze button.

All I got for my brother is burning resentment, however.

As for friends, I don't have those. Unless you count the penguins who live in my freezer!

So, what did you get the penguins, Bez'? Or are you still mad that they ate all your frozen pizzas? ^_^

Everyone I know either told me what I was getting them, or was insanely easy to buy for. Except for my older brother's kids. I couldn't find any more insanely loud and annoying toys, so I had to settle for colouring books and crayons, and hope that they would decide to turn the wall into their own private work of art. Y'know, it's a little sister's duty to annoy her brother, even if it's only a running gag. ^_^

I got my mom a 128 meg SD card for her phone so she can put mp3's on it...

I got my grandmother Jak II...

Havent got my grandfather or my dad anything yet. Today is as good a day as any.

What I got my Father: A day calander, a candle I made for him (It's a hobby of mine.) and a couple of music CDs.

I'm poo'. My parents buy a bunch of stuff, then randomly select names to put on the packages.

I think my friends will all get autographed d6s from me. I've got plenty of them.

CHEAPASS!!!

Well, considering my friends are getting zilch from me I have no right to call you that...

To my Mom: Squeege mop, new set of measuring spoons. $15.
To my Step-Dad: Mag-light*. $15.
To Both: New microwave. $60.

To my Dad: Two sets of drumsticks, six months of the new Uncanny X-Men comic remade into a book, The Hulk PS2 game. About $50 - $60. Got a bit out of hand with his gifts, in retrospect.
To my Sister: As of yet, nothing. I don't like my sister, but I'll probably get her something. $0. Probably $15'ish.
To my Brother: Ratchet and Clank PS2 game. $20.

To Friend 1: Big ass hunting knife. Looks more like a short sword, honestly. $15.
To Friend 2: 28 Days Later DVD. $20 or so.
To Friend 3: Autographed copy of Michael Moore's new book. Can't remember what it's called - I bumped into his brother and he suggested I by it for him. $25.
To Friend 4: Simpson's Hit and Run game PS2 game. $40.

So that's...what, about $250 so far?

* = Really bright, heavy flashlight. Like the ones cops use. Good for hitting people with, too.
