The 2008 "Christmas is about giving" thread

[Matt D.]

To hell with what you greedy fucks got, what did you give?

Bought my mom a Nintendo DS Brain Age bundle and a $50 gift card to Christopher & Banks
$50 gift card to Applebee's for my dad
$50 gift card to Wal-Mart for my cousin and her husband (they have 6 kids...)
Baileys Irish Cream gift pack for my aunt and uncle
Two $20 gift cards for my two cousins for Bath & Body Works
Giving an ATI video card I wasn't using to my cousin so he can play games again

Also have been dropping money in the Salvation Army red kettles every time I walk past one. No coins? I'll put in a dollar.

The biggest gift I bought was I ordered, picked up, and installed new custom order counter tops for my mom since her old ones were way out of date and she wanted new ones but could not afford it at the time.

Two bottles of fine wine for my parents, went half in on some bath body stuff and a gift card for my grandparents with my younger bro. AMC gift card for my older brother and his wife. Gift card to build-a-bear for my two nieces. My younger brother and I choose not to exchange gifts to make things easier. lol

OOOHHhhh, big spender!

I didn't give shit. Just being in my presence is enough of a gift.

Funny that in the spirit of Christmas you put down the dollar amounts for almost every thing you gave.

The best thing I gave for Christmas, was a person got a flat tire outside of my house so changed their tire for them in our garage to help them on their way.

My uncle doesn't have any windows in his office, so I bought a picture of a mountain view and made a window/picture frame for it. He works in colorado so this is most likely what he would see.

I also got mini LED flashlights for everybody. Oriely's auto parts has sweet LED flashlights 2 for $5 btw!
