Just finished my Christmas shopping this morning, it was only 4 items but I'm glad to get it out of the way.

Picked up a Led Zeppelin DVD for dad, & a few CDs for my mom.

For everybody else it's just money... so yeah, I really do suck at thinking up gift ideas.

Nothing, I have a wife to do it for me.

Hey hey wait, before any cries of sexism, it's because I've been flat out with the business. Tomorrow is the first real day off I've had in months.

Mom: Ornamental.. err.. Christmas tree Ornaments, with Robert Bateman paintings recreated on them.

Dad: Pirates of the Caribbean video (He shuns DVD's and all technology, labeling them as overly complicated, a waste of money and time, and a passing fad) as well as a Bailey's gift set (jug of Bailey's + 2 tumblers)

The rule when giving alcohol at Christmas is, the givee has to take a drink.

I made sure I got my share of the whiskey before passing it off to him :)

I think the whole board would get swallowed into a void if he appeared just in time to see what his present was :)

Coffee maker (And some extra stuff) for my parents, DVD Player for my sister. Various clothes and the like for other family. It's cheap not having friends to send presents to ;)

Although, means less for me :(

Oh vell :)

Our family is doing a Yankee Swap just like last year, so I bought this family of antelope that are crystalline and just pretty. I showed my dad so he wouldn't get it, because then he'd be disappointed at getting something "girly", but yeah. It's all good since just about everyone else at the christmas get-together is gonna be a woman who loves collectibles.

As for the friends ...

- Shirt and jewelry
- Ill Nino cd and Metallica S&M DVD
- Guitar pedal
- Polly Pocket (heh, yeah, it's a joke)
