I haven\'t friggin started buying presents yet :eek:

But I\'ve been putting in up to 12 hours a day every day at work so I haven\'t had time to think about that stuff.

But I guess I\'ll have to find something quick tomorrow for friends and family.

Caddyshack is great.  It\'s a Cinderella story...

Getting\\Recieved:
Hitman 2 (Xbox)
Street Fighter Alpha 3 (GBA)
Minolta Maxxum 4 35mm camera (#1 thing on my list)
Sony Wega TV stand (27")
Gameboy Advance (Black)
Minority Report (DVD)
That\'s all I know for now honestly and it\'s probably more than enough.  I\'m a tough person to shop for since I usually get what I want when I want it.

Giving:
Since there are friends who I know that frequent this board, I\'m going to have to use the spoiler tags to get this out.

Rya: [sp]2.4ghz cordless phone, Zelda and the Four Swords (GBA), Harry Potter (GBA), Harry Potter (GCN), $30 gift card for a new alarm clock, GCN game wallet, $50 in movie passes for whatever she wants to see [chick flicks I\'m sure][/sp]

Shingoku: [sp]Gameboy Advance (Glacier) [actually my old one, but I refurbished it with a new screen and a new battery back cover which is why I\'m getting a black one for myself], Gameboy Advance carrying case, Street Fighter Alpha 3 (GBA), Zelda and the Four Swords (GBA), GBA link cable, $50 gift card for Final Fantasy X-2 next year[/sp]

Aaron (Friend): [sp]Lord of the Rings: Two Towers (GBA), Zelda and the Four Swords (GBA)[/sp]

Vince (Friend): Super Smash Bros Melee (GCN)

Mom: Bratz doll, Music box [colored black, but with an angel on it and a dark blue moon in the background [it\'s really nice and plays the moon song :)], and Young Guns II (DVD)

Grandma: $50 gift card for.. I don\'t remember where come to think of it.  She will get good use of it  though, i know that. :)

Brother: James Bond original soundtrack (I forget which film, I think it\'s a compilation of many unreleased tracks from different films, all orchestrated of course), The James Bond Collection Box Set (4-disk, much music from all the Bond films), a set of 49ers football cards (\'02), and a 49ers calendar bought at one of the games this year.

That\'s about it.  It\'s enough.  *Phew*

Er, I\'m poor so I\'ve only given small presents like DVD\'s etc.

I\'m not sure what I\'m getting, I usually get allot, I got Ali G in Da House from my Aunty but the rest I\'ll find out at Xmas, I know I\'m getting some games and DVD\'s but which I don\'t know. My mum has got me something but never tells me what it is so I have no idea from her, my Uncle bought me Blade 2 on DVD.

I got my wife about 8 presents, including things like renaissance style shirts from the Sleepy Hollow store at the mall, a crystal castle (an actual crystal castle, not the video game), perfume, candles, and some magic props (since she recently started performing with me in my magic shows).

Other than that, we had about ten other people to shop for, and we bought far too many things to list, but the gifts we\'re giving range from video games to toys to blankets and clothes.

As far as what I\'m getting, I have no idea. I suspect I\'ll get a game or two, some DVDs, some clothes and maybe some books. My wife did give me some Taco Bell boxers early, though.

:alien:

I\'m not getting shit this year.  That\'s what having a kid will do to you.  

I did get a dollar from Luke though.  You rock...


Little trivia.  Did you know that two of the greatest scenes in Caddyshack are totally improvised?

The cinderella story where Murray is whacking the flowers with the gardening tool.

and the infamous Chase, Murray scene where Chase hit his ball into Murray\'s house.  Actually I heard this wasn\'t even a scene in the original script and they just ran with it.

Guaranteed: severe heartburn, extreme levels of inebriation, and vast public humiliation.... and that\'s just accounting for  the distant relatives!

Seriously, Christmas seems to be taking more of a substantial chunk out of the wallet more and more each year, but I\'m sure that is how god wants it.
