Personally I haven't bought anything, but what kinds of things have you gotten your love ones or hated enemies?

I'm sending out misery, letter bombs, and scorn for all man-kind. Oh, and those little rice treats with marshmellows in them. So easy to make, and yet so tastey and seasonal.

Really, I'm only being Christmasy in the direction of non-Christians. So, I'm planning to clean out the "Religious" section of a Hallmark Store so that I can send lots of nice cards and nativity scenes to the Muslims and Jews. i'll also be teaching this pagan kid (son of a friend of the family) to sing many festive Christmas Carols.

I have $30 saved up to get my mother a present. Don't know when I'm gonna spend it. And my middle school has these things where they sell candy grams during holidays like Christmas and Halloween. They come with cards, and when they sent out near the holiday date, they come with lollipops.The candy grams cost 50 cents each so I'm gonna buy my crush one and my best friend one and maybe another best friend.

Find some odd jobs to do and earn some cash.

I'm tutouring some people for their exams and all the proceeds will be going towards christmas presents.

Although if I make enough, then $20 will be going to booze for me. I'll have earned it.

My kids are getting Furbys and Board Games, my hubby is not getting what I was going to get for him because the dork bought it for himself and I couldn't stop him :mad: So, I don't know what I am getting him now :(

I got my mom some perfume (which was on sale, and I had a manufacturers coupon, and a gift card for the store, so it only ended up costing 20 cents)

My family is so large (23 first cousins alone, and they all have multiple kids) so we play dirty santa, I got a nice bath set and my hubby bought a small tool kit, to play with, usually we buy things that we want and scheme together to get them (because after you have something 3 times nobody can take it away, so he takes from me and I back from him until one of us has had it 3 times) but this year we were too tired to get what we wanted so we bought the first thing we saw. :)

I don't buy for anyone else.

yeah it's not that dirty................:(


anyway do you know how to play? it's really fun and gets pretty competitive


Everyone draws a number.
Number one picks a gift and opens it.
Number two can pick a gift or take number one's gift.
Number three can pick one or two gift or a new one and open it. so on through all of the numbers.
Some people play where the third owner of a gift gets to keep it. Some play it where the gift has to be stolen three times. Either way it "freezes" at some point.
The most important thing about this game is to make sure everyone is on the same page of which method you are using before playing starts.
Another version allows the person who drew number one to have a second turn at the end to give them the opportunity to steal a gift.

I honestly have no idea what to get anybody, and I've got hordes of nieces and nephews, and none of them live in the same city I do.

Oh. Crap.

Excrement is so last year, man. Instead of trying yesterday's human waste gift fad, try Puss. I understand that puss is very popular this year, and flying off the shelves in most places.
Just imagine the look on your nephews face when he opens up the bottle of puss that Uncle Dobbsworld sent him.

Silly sausage, I was referring to Puss brand pureed cat, not pus.
Chopped up fine, eaten by Fillipino children (is there anything they can't be used for? I hope not), and then immediatly regurgitated for that wonderful smell and texture. Nothing says love like Puss!

Did I mention that nobody likes those two kids?

I'm between gigs right now, so I'm going to volunteer. To be honest it's largely so I don't go stircrazy, but helping out isn't a bad side effect.

Ah, Kat, Kat. How you are mistaken. Former Generalites who have had the misfortune of being modified are tolerated. It's those techie elitists we don't like, such as Frisbeeteria, The Most Glorious Hack, Scolope...

Then perhaps you could be persuaded to join me in my war on good ole fashioned values in general and Christmas in particular?
All you have to do is mark a big "X" over the "Christ" in every "Christmas" you see and expose at least 2 mall santas as fakes (or, even better yet, child molesters).
Together, we can make a difference
Together, we can stop this Christmas from coming!
