So.... what do you want for Christmas?? - Page 2

DropTheTop · 11-30-2010, 10:29am

My GF and I haven't really exchanged in a couple years. Just hasn't been in the budget, as times have been tight and we enjoy buying stuff for our Nieces and Nephews instead. This year is extra tight, so gifts will need to be cut down.

Not to mention, this year my GF "adopted" a family. It's an old friend of hers with five kids, that has found herself with a man that left her and no money for Christmas. She has been busy working up charity for her to give those kids a great Christmas. That will most certainly leave us with no extra.

I guess what I want for Christmas would be more cash to buy nicer gifts for our Nieces and Nephews, and I wish I could get my GF something shiny.

Cheer up bro! Helping her make those kids Christmas will make the GF happier than a piece of bling. See what you can do in that area.

Haha.... no they get holes on the insides of my legs really quickly for some reason. Clothes are way down on my priority list. I can't remember the last time I bought a new piece of clothing. Normally my GF snags a few things here and there or I go to my parents' house for something and my mother has some stuff laying out in my old room for me to pick from

Kevin's been ordering parts and working on HOOTERS for over a month now. He said it's all my Christmas present!

As for other car stuff...I want a license surround for my Camaro like I have for my c6. Haven't found one in the right color yet. May have to get one and paint it.

Despite being female, I've never been big on shopping (crazy, I know) but my recent trip to visit Liz & Co. caused me to haul back from a huge load of new clothes from Ross and Marshall's. I did need them, but usually I hate taking the time out of my busy schedule for the "hunt"...you know, finding, trying on, and buying sheit I need. Since I was on vacation, it worked out.

It was fun shopping vs shopping because you had to!

Good stuff! And Kevin's a good egg.

Im pretty contint with my life.
I just bought some headers and a new set of rims for my vette.
School is going pretty well and so is my job since I transfered.
I really want nothing for christmas.

DJ_Critterus · 12-01-2010, 3:33am

Can we ask for whirled peas?

Actually, I think I'd be happy with a beer and some fire wood (for the fire place) and the entire 1992 season of The Red Green Show on DVD.

Red Green!

NikiQ · 12-01-2010, 7:24am

I want my car back...without any problems this time, please.

TripleBlack · 12-01-2010, 10:43am

Like many of the above, I'm lucky to have more than I need, and most of what I could reasonably want. I would like to have a replacement for the nice GoreTex jacket I recently donated unintentionally to some hotel maid or flight attendant; not sure which.

Defib1961 · 12-01-2010, 11:03am

You know, every year my family gets mad at me because I can never give them any good ideas. Honestly, I feel rather guilty for saying I want this or that. After my transplants I feel that asking for more is just wrong. I try to give them a few inexpensive ideas but really what I want to just to spend time with my family and close friends. Most of what I would really like, I buy myself.

I've had a pretty good business year and I like the share the success with the family...

So I have no qualms about being generous to Kevin this year. L5's and CCW 500's on order.

As to what I really want: 2 Rufinols and 20 minutes with Jennifer Love Hewitt.

But, I'll settle for good health for family and friends and be very happy with that.

20 minutes? How about 20 days!

I am with Brian...I never shop for clothes for myself unless I NEED something.

I can think of lots of things I would like for Christmas, but really what I would be perfectly content with are.

-A new LCD or LED TV, nothing too extravagant...between 40 - 50"....I don't need a 427" LED 3D tv...(actually my 32" LCD works great and still has an iber awesome picture, BUT it is one of the early models and no HDMI jacks)
-A PS3...I play games from time to time, plus it is a blue-ray player (hence needing the HDMI)
-Decent Surround Sound system.

I love to have friends over to just chill, chow on some good grubbage, and watch movies...

CheySha · 12-04-2010, 12:06am

I bought myself a fireplace, 3D TV, and a new puppy for Christmas. I'm going to request cash to help recoup some of my money LoL JK

jda67gta · 12-05-2010, 12:29am

Cash
