Title: What did you GIVE for Christmas?
Post by: Macawmoses on December 27, 2008, 01:53:57 PM
I know it's been asked as to what we got, but Christmas is about giving. So, what did you give for any of the Holidays?

Parents:
1. Various TV series (CSI, NCIS, Boston Legal, Futurama, Simpsons, etc)
2. My dad got all of the Death Wish movies from me.
3. I got my mother a new purse :x

Brother:
1. Kung Fu Panda
2. Awesome T-Shirt
3. Calgary Flames Stuff...and lots of it.
4. Pack of scissors for his house.

Grandparents:
1. Fancy flashlight
2. Assorted Candy
3. Dishes....light ones

Chelsey:
1. Perfume (not cheap)
2. A necklace




Yeah....I went a wee bit overboard, I do believe. Heh. So, how about you?

I got my mom an adorable snowman candle holder, since she loves snowmen.  I got my brother an original Dr. No movie poster.  And I got my dad a surge protector for the new TV.

I only got my parents a gift card to their favorite restaurant.
They're hte only ones that got me anything, and I hate everyone else I know save for a few people, and like hell I'm spending money on people that didn't get me anything... *yes I'm a greedy bastard I know*

Oh, and who might this Chelsey be? Your GIRLFRIEND? :P
I gave my dad Call of Duty: World at War. That's it.
My mom usually just wraps stuff and puts my name on it, though. That kind of counts.

Parents:
-Dad: nice gloves (he wanted them)
-Mom: Annalee collectible: "Last Minute Gift" mouse.  Quite cute.  She loves these things.  Also it's not a computer mouse; it's a literal mouse.  They look like this (http://z.about.com/d/collectdolls/1/0/G/W/annalee.jpg), although that's not the one I got her.  The faces are mostly the same.

Sister:
-used GBA
-my own personal copy of Super Mario Bros Deluxe (GBC).  She wanted to play SMB again somehow.

Brother-in-law:
-Star Wars plug-n-play TV Game (it's actually not bad)
-SNK Arcade for PS2
-Touhou 8: Imperishable Night (English patch included)

I bought my best friend a big (I mean BIG) fan from Thailand to hang on your wall at this oriental market, it has a couple sharks in the ocean and stuff painted on it. Its really cool, and she's really into that kinda stuff.

I gave some other people some other little things I picked up, nothing big.

Fucking, like, nothing.  I didn't even bother with that poop.  I was like intercourse  it this year.  I think I did the right thing though; those poop holes deserve squat.
