What are you getting your love ones for Christmas?

Mom- A sack of really nice bricks. She is doing some weird landscaping thing with them.

Dad- Patton DVD

Brother in Iraq- Portable CD player with his CD collection turned to MP3 format.

 

My wife - jewelry, a griddle and perfume.

My oldest son - money, gc games and some cards.

My middle son - Steiner Bonds auto pic, cards, gc games and cds.

My daughter - American girl doll plus accessories and some jewelry.

Kids - Trampoline.

Parents - Home Theater.

Me - Shoeless Joe Jackson bat pic, a Marilyn Monroe dress card, plus a few old-timer relic cards.

This is a very costly Christmas for me.

 

DT - Some Rox tix. It's the only thing I can think of that DT would truly appreciate.
Mom - calendars for the entire house, and her workplace
Dad - a "Longhorn dad" shirt
Sis - a throw blanket to match her room
Other Sis - sterling silver earrings

 

Will you marry me? I drop this hint every year and my wife still doesn't get it.

 

I'll do what I do every year. I'll go to Walmart a day or so before Christmas and get everyone something in less than an hour.

Then I'll wrap them like I always do; Aluminum foil and Duct Tape with a black magic marker saying who they are for. My family always knows who they're from.

Why am I divorced, again?

Behad: Teens are easy. If they have all the basics; stereo, TV, PS2, bike, then upgrade whichever is the oldest, or add a kick-butt component to them. Done and done with the big gift. Smaller stuff are clothes and video games. Maybe a new wallet and that should do it.

 

Toys for the kids, PS2 games for my bro, and I have no earthly idea for my parents...

 

Considering you quote him in your sig, I don't think it'd be appropriate.... Plus, your wife might get pissed

 

I'm getting all my loved ones 1 brick each.

 

ummmm... no I think kids actually like stuff you make for them. You could carve stuff out of wood like a duck or cat.

hahah jk. not that theres anything wrong with that but it seems kids always want the biggest, newest best games/toys and whatever.

it drives me nuts..

motorized scooters / game consoles every couple years ?? why not something practical.

im thinking about buying my wife a new vacuum.
for my mom I hope she enjoys her new sewing machine.
