what is a "blue tooth earpeice for me razr"?

lol "hot sauce". You're after my boyfriend's heart! He'd love you to death!

Boy, I thought I was the only one who ever gave someone hot sauce for Christmas. (In my case, it was a joke -- I still give even the adult "kids" stockings full of silly stuff, and one year my stepson got a big jar of Red Hot Sauce in his stocking.

me:

xmen 3
underworld evolution
wizard of oz 2 disc special edition (theres a button on the front that sings 'we're off to see the wizard!)

I got a 4-month subscription to Netflix, a mini-fridge, the entire run of Sports Night on DVD, and a whole bunch of giftcards (Best Busy, Target, and Wal-Mart), one of which I've already used on a few computer games. I've got another Christmas of sorts coming up just after the New Year, though, so there'll be another thing or two on the list before long.

Random, smaller gifts include some colgne, a label-maker (from my little brother, if you can believe that), a Troy Polamalu t-shirt, a somewhat oversized mug, and a thermal coffee mug-like thing, to name a few.

Sure did. He told me he wasn't going to get anyone anything this year (for a jaw-droppingly selfish reason that I don't care to discuss), so I decided to save the money I was going to spend on him and give my sister extra . I mean she's only 17, and makes maybe 50 pounds a month doing typing work, and yet she still found a way to give gifts to friends and family, so that makes my brother, who manages a shop, look that much worse.

I took my dad and step-mum out to dinner at a chinese restaraunt for their gift. (I was short on funds this year, but I still did something.)

Yes, Christmas in my family is a time to spite each other just as much as it is a time to give. LOL.

The BBC adaptation was great though. Brings back such fond memories of my childhood just hearing about it.

Well, I didn't exactly get Christmas presents but, here's what I got.

Flowmasters for my car, some clothes, The Return of the King Extended Edition, a really big book on WWII, and some cash.
