So, who else has no gifts wrapped yet as well as shoping still to do?

Let's talk about gifts too! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Well, my shopping is kind of bare this year. The actual only gifts I have to wrap at the moment are some DVDs for my Mom. The other gift I'm giving her is I'm going to buy us an artificial tree that she wants (Since we always get real, but she wants like a white, already lit artificial).

My brother, I was going to get him new lenses for a current set of Oakleys he has, but the Oakley store is out of them, so when he finds some, I'll be buying them for him. (I might get him something tommorrow in Fry's just so he has something to open from me Thursday.)

My brother and I also went together on a present for both our Grandparents, and it is already wrapped.

My Dad, who lives in East Texas (I live in Central) can't make it down till end of January because of back problems, so I'm hoping the gift I give him might come down in price by then, or have a good sale on it. I also forgot to get a card to him early on, so a card I send tommorrow won't get there till probably Saturday. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

I'll also be picking up something tommorrow from Fry's for my best friend, and although I have a good idea what I want to give him, I also might buy him something else as well. (Maybe some hood scoops for his Jeep that he wants.)

Discussion!

I'm completely broke so I didn't get to buy anyone any presents this year, which is really disapointing because there's some people I really wanted to get stuff for.

I have most of my presents bought, I'll have a wrapping-marathon tomorrow (along with the rest of my family) and I just need to get my dad something!
MQ had a good idea but I found out he's not really all that into the peanuts comic so that's a bust

I have not done one damned thing shopping wise. I probably won't either since I REALLY do not want to brave parking lots and dumb people in shopping centers. That and I have to save up for next year's tuition.

Exactly. Shopping during December sucks. And the stinking tuition went up again. Damn this state. Our governator had better fix it real quick.

The only thing I'm getting anyone for Christmas is a front door deadbolt key for my brother, so he'll quit blaming me when he gets locked out. Idiot.

In my house, not a single soul has a gift under the tree and it seems that no one is going to get a single gift this year. You see, we are extremely poor this year and we don't have the funds to get each other gifts. My sister just got married a little over a month ago and she and her husband can't by anything either. Because of that, Christmas will have to be just another day for us. I don't really mind too much because I'm not the kind of person that desires too much of anything. A graphics card would have been nice but I understand that my family is poor so I won't beg for it. Oh well. I guess we can always get some gifts later next year. I think we might be able to at least go to a movie or have some kind of dinner to celebrate the holiday. It's a good thing that I am a Christian because the birth of Jesus Christ is in itself a good enough reason to be joyful.

I spent around £50 on presents... nd in some cases I didn't really want to. I was nearly going into my "Christmas Present" bank.

Yeah, but you know what? This one, this one right here, this was my dream, my wish, and it didn't come true. So I'm takin' it back. I'm takin' 'em all back.

Got everything by the 22nd and wrapped it the 23rd. I was going to buy lift tickets for my sister and her boyfriend but nobody local sells them. Thus, I'm going to have to think of something REAL QUICK for those two. Other than that, it's all good.

I bought two things for my mom and stepdad today, I'm going to wrap those after dinner. I still need to get stuff for four or five of my friends, but I probably won't see them for a few days so I'll get their stuff on the 27th hopefully.
