Okay, here it is: The inevitable. Someone was bound to make one of these threads, so I’ll just get it over with. May I be the first to say:
MERRY CHRISTMAS
There, talk about Christmas. What do you guys want for Christmas? What did you get (Dec 25th)? Any Funny stories?
This is a temporary thread. It will be removed on the 1st of January.
Let the nonsense begin...

I asked for an iPod touch, iHome, NHL 09, Nike iPod chip, timberlands, iTunes gift cards, and clothes.
Plus I was at the Mall and Wal*Mart from 3:00pm to 9:30pm Christmas shopping. I pretty much got everyone gift cards. I ended up dropping like $200 total. But I should easily get it back in money alone. Then I get gifts. |

haha nice, call of duty is awesome. i want a 360 but i don't have the coin for one. yea my rents still get me stuff too, it just gets more limited every year. so now i just ask for one thing i really want (ie- lift tickets) and they usually get me a couple other cool things. like last year they gave me a bunch of gas cards which is awesome because I'm a full time college student and part time worker, henceforth my money is limited
PS....i like the idea for the girl friend the gift that keeps on giving lol

I spent about 400$ on my family, 100$ per person...
I like giving
brother - NHL 09 for PC, 25$ gift card for Future Shop, and season 3 of Family Guy
sister - new helmet strap to match her team colours, a giant plush dog and a handheld sudoku game... along with a bunch of scrapbooking shit
mom - Wii Fit, she's been wanting it forever... although I went splits with my brother and sister on it, it was like 225$ 
dad - one of the really nice running shirts that they have, where it absorbs sweat... and running socks.
And the best part is that I've still got over 400$ in my bank account Hurray for scorekeeping/getting a raise at work 10.35$ an hour, not too shabby for working at a grocery store

Wow, I just bought everyone gift cards...And didn't spend that much
Dad- $30 Dunkin Donuts Gift Card
Mom- Nike iPod chip and sensor
Brother- $20 GameStop Gift Card
Sister and Brother in Law- $20 Gift Card to Dunkin Donuts
Nieces- Webkinz or something like that
Then I had to get a yankee swap gift
This is the time of year I especially wouldn't get into a relationship, or like a dating one. The last thing I want is to have spend even more money.
I still have like $600 in my bank, I keep it cheap Plus I'll probably just put back in whatever spent with the Christmas money I get. I'll get all of it back, plus some.
We go up to Massachusettes on Christmas Eve (tonight) to be with our family for a little while.
But it should be pretty fun. I'll probably be back on here tonight, and then later Christmas night |
