Re: what are you getting/giving for x-mas
Woot! I gave my money for about half of a little 3-speed yamaha 110cc bike for him to tear around on his new property (and hopefully not kill himself). Between him and my brother I blew most of my budget, I caved on him too. The cheapo laptop market hit a good pricepoint this year so I ended up getting one of those for my brother (he & his girlfriend are in school, I thought it'd work well for them).
Anna gets spoiled every year, I basically go to various malls and fill up my arms with shoes, sweaters, stuff from bebe and puma, etc until I cannot carry anymore.
Turbo is getting a new bed and some sweet puppy toys.
The evo is getting cams, fuel pump, and arp headstuds (that way it doesn't count as me spending money on myself, right?).
That's about all that's really worth mentioning, although anna *insisted* on getting her sister some new sunglasses, since she lives in Florida. What does she pick out? A pair of Dolce & Gabbana glasses...Italian shit FTW!
No idea what I'm getting yet, but Anna did mention that Turbo had a few phone calls into Buschur racing this past week, so we'll see
Don't forget to post here if you get anything pimpin!

Re: what are you getting/giving for x-mas
I got some wii controllers, some gift cards, a new cell phone (my old one crapped out) and some clothes.
Also, got a sweet LED flashlight that has a handle that turns into a tripod, and the head pivots so it can be used as a shop light. Pretty badass for a flashlight. Plus it lasts like 100 hours on a set of batteries.

Re: what are you getting/giving for x-mas
My dad gave me $100 is 5's haha... What a guy. And I get another 100 tomorrow but the cash machine ran out of 5's. He thinks he's hilarious.... The best part was actually getting to SEE him though.

Re: what are you getting/giving for x-mas
Santa came to my house too!! I got decked out in golf apparel and also will never have to pay cash for a Bees meal for quite some time. A few hush hush gifts, but I thought my best gift was a waffle maker.

LMFAO!!! That quote is awesome.
We had a good holiday. In reality it get to be a time where gift giving to my sister and others is pointless. We give a $50 gift card, and they give a $50 gift card. Ends up being the person who drove the most to go shopping spent more due to gas prices. I use to be the person that really alwasy wanted something for xams. Now all I really enjoy is seeing Jana's little neices unwrap gifts. And when I have gifts I try and get Hannah to unwrap ours as well. All we asked for this year was gift cards and money if anything to help with the wedding. So the parents where a bit generous this year. A couple cool things we did get was tickets to the Chanhassen Dinner Theature performance of Grease and a nice Armoral Care Car kit for the 6. Otherwise the best part at my parents was seeing my dad finally get the wedding ring my mom has wanted for the past, oh I don't know, 20 years. She lost her original down the sink many years ago and my dad never got her a new one till this year.

Re: what are you getting/giving for x-mas
I got quite possibly the best present I've ever been given. My grandpa passed away a couple years ago, and all his life he had been extremely involved with the Boy Scouts. My grandma handed me a little bag, and inside were cuff links and a tie clip with the Boy Scouts symbol on them. My cousin got similar ones as well. Kind of made the whole day have true meaning rather than having it feel like just another Hallmark holiday. The day I'm able to use them will be a very special one.

Re: what are you getting/giving for x-mas
I got some cash for our trip to Phoenix in March and some DVD's and crap. It was more fun just watching the kids open their presents. And I bought the wife an Ipod, she liked that.

Re: what are you getting/giving for x-mas
Yea, I try to suck as little as possible
Anna got me season one and two of the Ali G show, and it is fucking halarious! I also got some billet shifter bushings, one of those neato dip stick retension springs, and a stocking cap from buschur racing. Anna has an awesome memory--she heard me talking about those stupid retension springs a while back and ordered one up
Also, the Evo got quite the workout this christmas--I think I gave about 10 rides in it, all of them with tire-smoking burnouts, AWD drifting on pavement, and 100mph through 35mph turns. My parent's live out in the country so it was damn fun! Everyone is always like 'oh yea, that looks cool' and then I tell them that it can outrun a c6 vette and they *instantly* want a ride!
