Screw what did you get, what did you give?
 

See subject.

Way too damn much.... I think next year i'll just forgo buying presents for one of my bratty kids.... kept asking if every present was his....ARGH.

Classical acoustic guitar, crock pot, chili rista, dvds, magazine subscription, gift cards, gourmet chocolates.

Time, love, and money ...

I gave over a 100 hours to friends and family ... I waded thru their home movies editing and condensing to dvd's so they could give them for gifts. Pain in the ass but the phone calls today made me feel good.

.

That is pretty cool. Several years ago I took my parents home movies and put them on VHS.

VHS? Hmmm, must have been longer ago than I thought.

Wife - Bag and wallet for 2k
Dad - Cartier wallet
Mom - Cosmetics
Sister #1 - Bob Ross paint set
Sister #2 - Nintendo Wii

Plus i spent about 2 days cooking for everyone preparing Chrismas dinner dishes. :2 cents:

ewwww, you are going to serve food that is two days old?

I cooked breakfast and lunch for 60 people

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Not at all, just some things take longer to prepare, curing meats etc....Trust me eveything was fresh and tasty.:winkwink:

to others:
a year supply of Recess Cups
a bottle of Crown Royal No. 16
a bottle of La Fee Bohemian Absinth
2 $50 Gamestop cards
Call of Duty 4
Golf Clubs
The War DVD

to myself:
Denon Home theater system
42" Vizio 1080p TV

I'm sure that was special ........ :Oh crap

Mostly cash...some presents for various people.

Besides giving gifts, I sent the following funnies to friends via myspace or emails (Gotta have a variety depending on their personalities).

i bought my fiance a tool he had been looking for, and some other stuff for his workshop. :) i also got him an ipod. :)

You realy must hate sister #1, don't you? :1orglaugh

charity work

I didn't get nor give :(

Ruby Ring, tons of movies, gift cards, a computer for my brother, new dish set for my mom. Was expensive but well worth it :)

Gave my son his second christmas but this is the first that he really enjoyed. He loved the paper as much as he did the toys.

Also gave something special. My mother in law is now living with us. She was born and raised in Cuba, and this was the first year she has EVER seen a Christmas tree with wrapped presents under it. And she was sooooo happy that some of them were for her. She had no idea until xmas morning.

Donated time cooking at local homeless shelter....
Cooked up turkeys, beef roasts, tons of trimmings, then baked a couple dozen pies etc... Then served to many of the local homeless here in Pasadena CA over the weekend.
Most rewarding thing Ive ever done...

Went shooting some sporting clays with my boys and step-bro...
Ran some RC Boats too this weekend... Its our off season and
we are doing R&D on a couple of new things....

We cooked up TAMALES again this year....
Tuesday then cooked up a couple of my patented "Leg of Lambs"
for our family dinner...

We gave away graphic'ed up hoodys that we made at the shop
and everyone just freaked over...
and in the pockets of yon said hoodys I adorned gift cards
aimed toward the recipient...
also.. LED flashlights and headlamps...

Was a very rewarding Christmas....
now headin' to Parker for a week for more fun in the sun !!

:Oh crap

i gave some penis to a contract girl.

that was my only gift giving experience this year.

lolllllllllllllllll.

got too much. gave too much.
I just wish Christmas was more about family and less about gifts, like Thanksgiving is.

Boyfriend got:
-2 commissioned copies of his favorite Heroes paintings (the eclipse and Peter flying)
-Sterling silver ring w/the Flash logo
-2 new glass pieces from Shivadas (a spoon and a sherlock)
-All 3 seasons of Arrested Development
-An original Skaara action figure from the Stargate movie

-LED faucet light from Think Geek (the red/blue one)
-Astronaut ice cream for his stocking - double chocolate chip flavor
-A box set of PVC figures of all the DC Flash characters
-Super Mario Bros. soundfx keychain

I think that was it.

The boyfriend's mom & dad got:
-Leakfrog (their basement flooded earlier this year, so here's hoping this will help prevent it)
-USB fiberoptic Christmas tree for the mom's desk at work
-LED blow on/off candles
-Sudoko puzzle
-A wok

My mom got a gift basket with her favorite gourmet coffee, chocolates, cookies, etc.

Another friend of mine is getting Tetris refrigerator magnets.

I also got the dogs a bunch of new toys and chewies (we even found pigskin candy canes), and the Boxer got an OSU dog hoodie because she's a fucking wimp about cold weather. Thank god the Shar Pei isn't as prissy.

Assorted things. Couple of games for the brother, a lawn mower for my sister, a new fence for my mum & a blackberry for my father. Friends got little things like gift vouchers. I got myself a new Arai helmet.

Also spent some time in the nursing home where my aunty is chatting with some old folk who have noone :(
