Seems there are "what ya get?" topics all over this board right now. Fun to talk about... But hey, what did ya give?
(full disclosure, I gave no-one anything, but everyone knows I'm broke and unemployed. But I also didn't ask for or expect anything. So I only got socks and gloves from the 'rents ;) )

I told everyone I knew from the internet a joke as a present.
As for in real life, my presence is present enough.

My virginity...
LOL no, that is long gone. I only gave um... nothing really.
I did get a toy for a female friend of mine... but that is only because she has been wanting one. She had a hard time saying yes when I asked her if she wanted it but that is because she was embarrassed of what the other women looking at the same toys would think :rolleyes:.
Other than that, I didn't give or get anything.

The glorious gift of me!
Actually, I gave the usual assortment of books and toys and games, but listed on the front of each one what was "in it" so that they could vent their disappointment before they opened it and act delighted for my benefit. For instance, a CD of "Surrealistic Pillow" became "Kidz Bop Gangsta Rap" featuring Shank Yo Moms and Sniff My Juicy-Juice. A little fun but didn't slow the frenzy.

I like this topic more. I get more excited seeing another gift under the tree that I wrapped.
I gave my mom an Anne Klein black coat since she needed a new one.
Cody got a Remington shaver, the deluxe editions of Wall-E, Iron Man, and The Dark night, and he's also getting an XBox 360 with Left for Dead 4, but it won't be here until January. Stupid back orders.

Oh man, I hate that! My cousin has to wait another two weeks for her new laptop, which was supposed to have came in three days before Christmas.

One of my gifts was supposed to arrive on Christmas Eve, then it got delayed until the 29th, then came in the 24th as originally planned. I wasn't bothered by the thought of it being late. But I'm majorly bugged by Cody's coming late.

If no ... no embarrassment.
If yes ... only embarrassment if opened in front of mother.

Give? Why give? I thought Obama was spreading the wealth for us all now? Let him take care of it since he knows what's best now.

There's a difference between a jest and trying to cause political drama. No one would have taken Token's comment as time to start a political debate, like happens with yours.

Target's got V-Day stuff out, and the fabric stores already have St. Paddy's Day fabrics. But of course you usually need more time than a few weeks when sewing. But still, Valentine's candy already in the stores?

I evidently gave the lady in my life a headache when I broke a lamp while moving the tree. Been in the doghouse ever since.
