...Christmas presents?

I mean, give me a fucking break. You know I won't be able to use this shit until next year, if I even use it at all.

This year so far I have gotten 3 ornaments, Santa S&P shakers, a stocking, and a Christmas Music CD.

BULLSHIT.

aha

I've often thought this too.

They are probably gifts they got last year as gifts. Regift ftw!

I have to give props to my Boss though. She gave me $150 in gift certificates to Friendly Shopping Center. Now THAT is a gift.

And one of my coworkers got me a $25 gift card to Pet Smart. I went there last night and they had all the bones and shit 50% off. Marley is going to have a bomb as Christmas

Yeah, I stopped buying Marley toys 2 years ago. Because I just end up running over them with the lawnmower in the back yard.

My mother has gotten me an ornament every year since i was born. Swell idea, but it makes for an ugly mess of a tree since I like shit to be uniform.

^ my grandmother did the same thing, but that's different. Because they always reflected what I was into that year, and they are all dated. Makes it kind of neat each year when I put up my tree to go back and remember them all.

Yeah same thing my mom does. I just hate the way they look on the tree though. Guess I can't complain much though since I hate Christmas period.

It's a good gift if it comes from someone that really knows you and has meaning to it.

I never get ornaments from people that actually know me, always from random distant relatives or coworkers or anyone else who didn't want to put any effort into a gift.

Yeah, she wasn't really feeling it this year. But I convinced her that she had to have something to put all the kids' (3 nephews, 1 niece) presents under. She told me tonight that she was so glad she did. The kids opened all their "non-Santa" presents tonight over at my mom's. It was really nice. Seeing all the kids happy really helped. I am going out to take my dad his present tomorrow morning.
