What did you GIVE this Christmas

Urban Hat€monger ? · 12-25-2011, 03:03 PM

You lot are always quick to boast about how much stuff you got this Christmas.
But Christmas is a time for giving and I want to see how many cheap bastards there are on this forum.

Here's my list...

Dad - Box set of 100 Westerns plus a load of other westerns.

Mum - Rise of The Planet Of The Apes, Conan The Barbarian, Cowboys vs Aliens , The Dead Blu-ray.
Bunch of low budget horror movies
The Onedin Line series 1-5
Bottle of Bacardi

Sister - Bottle of Baileys
Bit of money when she finally decides what she wants.

Sister's Husband - Doctor Who T Shirt

Nephew - Scalextric set
Table football set
Full England football kit
Fucking massive chocolate coin (My sister is going to throw a fit when she sees it

)
Bunch of other stuff my mother has bought that I probably owe her money for.

Niece - Musical Elephant
Activity Lion
Another bunch of other stuff my mother has bought that I probably owe her money for.

Me - Nothing, until I get my Christmas bonus

This is my kind of thread.

My mother received from me:

Harry Potter 7 pt. 1&2
The Big Bang Theory S03
House S07
Two fuzzy lined hoodies
Bottle of Wiser's whiskey
Three bars of goat milk soap
A book she already had a signed copy of (goddammit).
Two boxes of brandy beans
A charcoal portrait of Jarvis Cocker I drew earlier in the year.

When she saw the last one, she went "FUCKING HELL!" Guess I did good then!

Couldn't be too extravagant this year, but I did what I could:

Girlfriend: Keurig coffee maker

Brother: He has a collection of Buddha figures, so I got him one that's a fountain to tie it all together

Sister 1: A subscription to Hulu (she watches so many shows I didn't know what DVDs to get her)

Sister 2: Hello kitty slippers

Mom: I pitched in for a really huge digital picture frame

Dad: A stylus/pen thingy for his new iPad (sounds cheap but this thing is pretty nice and professional looking)
