Christmas! Gifts! Parties! Etc!

I may be doing that. My dad's the president of a social club in town, and they hang out and drink beers every Christmas eve. It's actually a really fun time.

Wouldn't you feel like an absolute shit if your friend bought you a $100 gift but you could only really afford to spend around $20 on them? I know not everyone's the same, but most people I've ever encountered prefer people avoid getting them expensive gifts if they can't afford to reciprocate. It comes off somewhere between "I am a shitty friend who can't budget properly enough to get them a nice gift" and "the fuck do they have to rub it in?"

I am pretty sure that I could beat that if I put you, Eed and Linds into a room together. It would likely be four hours of yarn talk.

Maybe. A bloo bloo bloo it must be lonely up on your mountain watching all the Whos have fun while you cry all alone into your scotch and small yappy dog.
I am going to enjoy a rousing game of Zooziver Carsey and maybe dine on some roast beast.

Heh, that would cover both interest groups... but might be too pricey. Unless I can find a pair of those novelty fake ones that have a picture of a scantily clad woman from the 70's at the end of them.

The giant microbes aren't a bad idea, but I don't have time to order one... I think they sell them out at NSW Uni, though... Hmm. Also, I'd probably need a mycobacterium.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Ok I ended up getting him 8 different fake moustaches and some chocolate. I didn't really want to put much effort into this, to be honest.

Okay yay, I got my stepmom some astronaut ice cream from Thinkgeek (she is a home ec teacher and likes food), and my dad, stepbrothers, and my good friend are getting some cool shirts (also from Thinkgeek). Still working on what I can get my big sis, but it'll probably be able to wait until we meet up in London right after Christmas. And I got my lady one of those coffee mugs that looks like a paper cup (Ruyi, you are a fucking angel for that suggestion), because she drinks something like 3467465 cups of coffee a day.
Still no clue what to get my mom, though. I don't want to give her the same thing as my stepmonster, but she also has just about everything ever that could possibly be related to food. I realized that we're going to be going to Britain right after Christmas, so getting her Indian food supplies is just going to be redundant, because that and English cheddar are the only things she ever buys there.
I am kindof fucked.
