Whatja get & give?

[Jack]

So, whatja get, and whatja give?

Personally I don't celebrate Christmas (for reasons I don't like discussing, because I've been slammed for it too many times). But my grandparents insist on giving me money every time. So I got about $50 in cash. Also, I bought them a Hula girl doll when I went to Hawaii, as well as a Pearl Harbor book for my grandpa (we was in the Navy during WWII).

Howabout you guys?

[poco]

I got several DVDs, two necklaces, and some cash toward a widescreen TV (i have to pay for most of it though)

The DVDs I got were:
Bruce Almighty
Seabiscuit
Freaky Friday
Legally Blond 2
Eloise
Bend it to Beckham

[poco]

Why only cash?

[Jack]

Why only cash?

I guess they just aren't sure what specific thing I'd like.

It's funny because they know my hobbeys and what I collect, but they've just always given me cash. Either way, its nice of them.

[indianajdp]

Got some cash, Seabiscuit, a few odds-n-ends and a new G2 Ping Zing putter.

Gave out waaaayy too much to list...but if you own any amount of Disney Stock you should be thanking me profusely.

[poco]

I could have sworn that when I posted earlier that the what did you give part was not there.

Anyway, I gave some clothes to my dad. He quit smoking and started to gain weight. Go Figure. I also got him some golf balls and something to help his swing out. For my mom I gave her Seabiscuit (she was upset that I gave her widescreen...she wanted Fullscreen), some candles, and some knick nacks for around the house.

I also gave a lot to my co-workers but won't go into detail....too much

I got 2 dvds from my father. The Black Cauldron and The Sword in The Stone. I got some money too and some small stuff from family. I also got a Finding Nemo cd from my brother (With 40 tracks on it! 39 without singing and the last one by Robbie Williams with "Beyond The Sea"). I will get my present from my mother on New Year's Evening and that will probably be a 3-disc box with A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc. and Toy Story in it I'm so happy!

I gave my father a dvd (Panic Room), my brother an AXE shower pack (with deodorant and shaving gel and stuff), my dad's girlfriend a shower pack (with shampoo and all that stuff), my grandmother a candle in shape of a present (VERY original ) and my grandfather a ball for his dog I have to buy my present for my mom tomorrow. Don't know what I'm gonna get her

[indianajdp]

... For my mom I gave her Seabiscuit (she was upset that I gave her widescreen...she wanted Fullscreen)

I got the FS version and almost cringed, but I knew no one would know or understand what the hell I was miffed about. Oh well...I'll be exchanging at Target early in the morning before we hit the road.

And my cousins and I haven't gave/gotten gifts yet.

[Loomis]

I gave CDs, books and DVDs mainly (best of R.E.M CD & DVD, a really big book of Annie Liebowitz's American music photography (to my girlie) and some Law & Order DVDs (to mum) were some things that people received from Loomis). I also got a few things for my girlie's parents that included a DVD and some wine.

In return, Loomis was given books, CDs and DVDs And socks.
CDs included Rage Against the Machine Live, Bowie's Man Who Sold the World (both from my girlie) & Ryan Adam's 'Rock N Roll' (the latter thanks to a little Mouse). DVDs included Star Trek: TNG Season 6 (!!!) and Nick Cave Live (both from my girlie...such a generous lass).

And the grandparents were the cash and sock givers

did very well indeed - but am I the only person who didn't give or receive Seabiscuit?

I got clothes and a build-a-bear snowman. Unfortunately nothing disney I was hoping for monsters inc. or the disney treasure chest from costco, but oh well, I guess I'll have to buy them myself
