LL, I'll give you my Sirius!! I don't use it, I play CD's. Mine's free until next June.

I gave our breeder, in England, some Pankow Bread Crumbs, Honey Wheat Pretzel sticks, some Ethel M's chocolates and puter games for her children.
She can't get these things over there and it makes me so happy I can do this for her! We always have so much fun finding the goofiest 'stuff' to send each other and it's always a surprise opening the packages!

At home, I'm giving Thekid the Sims 2 game, a spoiler book for the game and Shreck 2. I always throw in some goodies I know she likes, but won't buy for herself.

The dh is getting an electric drill, a t-shirt, slippers and a plane ticket to spend C'mas with his family. <long story>

I don't buy for my in-laws (out-laws), that's the dh's department.

I don't need or want anything. I usually don't get anything and that's okay. I have fun buying for them and I hope they enjoy everything. <yeah, ok, I did do a little get-even event at Amazon last week...oops...one can never have too many books!>

I got a lot of my Christmas shopping done last night, woohoo!

Got my mom 4 silver picture frames, various sizes. Got my sil a gift certificate at a clothing store. Bought my son's dad some pj's and a gift certificate to the movie theatre. Got some of the ladies who help me at the welcome center various hand lotions at Victoria's Secret. Got my son a shirt on sale at the Gap. I just have to wrap up my son's xmas purchases and I'll be done!

Santa came to Karen's house early!! BF went out and bought our TV on the weekend, and because his friend's car had a small trunk, they had to take the TV out of the box to get it home. Aw, shucks. BF had been saying that it would STAY IN THE BOX until Christmas Eve, but... seeing as it had to come out of the box already, we thought we'd set it up. It's only a 27, instead of a 32"... but it's bigger than the 19" we had. Love the Wega. !!


(It just happened to be an ad for Star Trek... )

Whew, Karen.. I thought that speaker was REALLY HUGE.. well I do have the 32" across the room but I suspect you'll be just fine with the 27". Looks like you guys have a nice set up there too.

The only thing that I put on my list was a new front door. Same thing as last year and two years before. It will be on my list next year too . DH wants a new razor. Guess he'll have to buy it himself or it wlll be on his list next year, because I've bought him a new one every year and didn't this time

The grandkids all got one small gift plus gift cards to buy their own stuff. This seems to be the biggest smile maker so why not?

The most fun I've had this year was shopping for gifts for a 10 year old little girl whose card was on the Salvation Army tree at a restaurant. Luckily they allowed me to buy more than one gift, wrap them all, and put them in another gift wrapped box with her name on it so I know she will receive everything.

Then I also put together a gift box with pancake mix, Pam, blueberry syrup, honey, hot chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, marshmallows, tiny breakfast sausages, orange juice, flavored teas, two homemade festive pot holders and two coffee mugs. It was under $25 for everything, but is going to someone who has a fixed income and sparse cupboards.

My list:

Dear Santa,

I usually write a long letter to you asking for various stuff for lost of different people. This year I will write a 2 part letter--the first part will look similar to past years. The second part is a thank you to you. That's right--I want to thank you.

Santa, I don't want anything for myself. I have a lot more things than I need in a world where far too many people don't have the basics they need to survive. First and foremost, could you bring the world an end to the war--the end to suffering beyond what we can imagine. An end to thousands of innocent civilians dieing. An end to our troops having to do things--having to see things--having to have things done to them that the human spirit is not made for.

If you could do that, I will ask for nothing else.

Santa, I want to thank you. I have been given some pretty amazing gifts this past year. They were not Christmas gifts--but they were gifts none the less. I have a wife and 2 step daughters that mean the world to me. Yes, there is a price to pay--lots of adjustments, lots of changes that I have to deal with, lots of acceptance and feeling weird for all the things settling and the settling taking what feels like a long time.

The prices though--they are more than worth it. I have people in my daily life that have so much potential. So much love within them. I have been given a chance to make a positive impact on humans--humans that are close to me and that share space and a goal to have a family that cares for each other and cares about each other.

This comes a bit late in my life--and as the saying goes, better late than never. It was something I didn't expect to happen again. I am very grateful for this gift though--and wanted to thank you for this opportunity. I'll make sure I do the right things so 3 very special people will feel they can enjoy life more than if I wasn't around them. I hope that will be my legacy--my going away present when the time comes.

Thank you very much Santa.

With highest regards, Gregg

I guess I need to thank Santa also for bringing Lance into our lives. We are incredibly lucky to have him in our lives.

HELP: Quick question:
I am looking for a few simple last minutes gifts for dh. I know I can get just about anything (PJ's, tie, etc.) but I was looking for some suggestions.

Thanks in advance...

Julieboo - I just went to Barnes and Noble and bought my husband the book "The Art of Belly Dance" it comes complete with the belly jewel, the finger cymbals, a dvd and book instructions. I suspect he will have a great time teaching me the concepts of this art!!!!!!!! woohoo!!! he will love it.

Any kind of winter stuff? For stocking stuffers I always get people hand and feet warmer packets. I got Tim a rain suit this year too because he has no rain pants (like we're even walking around in the rain ever! He wanted it though). I also like to get him gift certificates for movies and dinner places so I get something out of it :-) Tim also always wants tools but I have no idea what he has and doesn't have. Sports stuff? Is he into the Bears or anything like that? Anything like from Bass Pro Shop (fishing, boating, etc)? Any collections? Hobbies? DVDs or CDs? Rechargeable batteries? I like those coffee cups for cars they make now that plug into the lighter and keep your drink warm.

Tim is so easy to shop for. He likes window shopping so he's pointing stuff out year round that he wants.

Dear Santa,
I just want to say this is the best Christmas EVER!! I feel like a new baby looking at everything with new eyes. I'm just thankful for friends and family and don't need anything else.
My world changed this year. My life will never be the same..YET I am soooo grateful for many many things. The love and kindness of friends and family overwhelms our lives. This year, I have seen the truly good side of humanity....especially grateful to the people who have offered to help us with our home. Some of these people don't know us very well, but they've been there with hammers in hand!!
Santa can skip our place this year. We are doing fine!


I just wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday.

Santa, if you could help the doctors find out what makes Zmom hurt so much and help them to fix it, that would be more than enough.
