Jessidee:
this christmas will be my first spent in my own house (yay) so i think all the family is coming to mine, if not i will be sharing it with my best friend and her boyfriend (his family have never celebrated christmas  :-o)

I have finished all my christmas shopping (i actually finished at the start of november, because i had the money to)

Christmas for my family is always hectic, my sisters fiance's birthday is dec 25, then her birthday is dec 27, so its full of stuff....

 :laugh:

So how's about that Wal-Mart employee who got stomped to death by Black Friday shoppers today? The worst part was that people just kept streaming in while the emergency response crew was working on him. Nobody gave two shits that the man had been killed by their own feet, they just wanted to save a few fucking dollars. Absolutely obscene.

Darkbluerabbit:
Link to the terrifying news story Patrick referred to.

Seriously.  Read that and try not to think about hordes of zombies.  People are fuckin' nuts.

And they're not going to prosecute anyone because of the nature of the crime. Sick. I hope the tramplers suffer from horrible PTSD flashbacks the rest of their lives.

We did do a little bit of shopping today on the way back from my parents' house, but all for us because we are selfish. They had a $1 per trade paperback sale at this out of the way comic book store, so, we bought 40. Haha. Mostly indie comics too, rock.

I am asking for Guitar Hero III for Xmas along with an extra guitar for my boy and that's it. I'm getting my sister Wii games, but I don't know about my parents. I thought about getting my mom some old TV show on DVD but I don't think she watches DVDs, just cable. And my dad is even worse, all he does is watch Golf TV. I got some really cool stuff for the boy though.

This is the first year I won't have a tree, because our newest cat is climb-happy. I may make one out of cardboard.

Patrick:
I just love it when people get into the holiday spirit :)

Dark humor aside, I am totally thinking of getting my lady a piece by an Albanian artist who lives in a small town just north of here called Krujė. My girl is an artist, which is the 'thoughtful' part. He paints scenes from the town as well as from other places in Albania, which is the 'unique' part. I'm pretty much set with her.

As for my stepbrothers, I'm probably going to get them some of the felted wool hats that they make in the same town. I'll probably get them the Fushė-Krujė style ones (sortof like a white, woolen fez without the tassel). My dad will probably get one of those ash trays shaped like the multitudes of bunkers they have here. As for my stepmom, she'll probably get some shopkas, which are felted wool indoor slippers. Here in Albania, the price of wool is absurdly cheap by American and European standards, and that's even when they're charging me 10 times what they would charge an Albanian.

As for my mom, she loves to cook, and she can't get good Indian food supplies here in Albania, so I am thinking of getting her some of those for Christmas.
