It's not Christmas Eve yet, so I have no idea what I am buying for who.

Everyone here each gets a slightly used pair of my undies

Kristi stop reading this right now.

I've gotten her some tickets for a band she likes, that I don't think she knows is going on tour, some figures for her WW2 army (its figures of the characters from Kelly's Hero's and an expansion for a game she likes. Still need to figure out a few more presents for her. Getting my mum a record player since she has a lot of vinyl and these things seem to be coming back into fashion. Although I'll be getting Ash presents, I am not getting him a stupid amount of stuff. I've said to people that he has everything he needs really and since he isn't going to really understand what is going on I'd rather people gave him money to put in his bank account. I figure helping give someone a future is pretty damn good gift.

Somehow giving Israeli bonds last year didn't turn heads so I need to figure out something flashier. I'm thinking sequins from Liberace's piano?

I gave a stack of old Captain America comics from the 70's to my grandson, who just turned 8.
He loves superheros.
My son Jed is gonna wrap them up for me and put them under his tree.
Otherwise, I ain't got no money.
I am making Christmas dinner. Which is gonna be slow cooked chili and cornbread.

The pentagon would like a pair for its biological warfare research division.

Almost finished my shopping for this year. Got Kristi tickets for The Dropkick Murphy's next year, a stereo so she can listen to music downstairs, the Kelly's Heros figures mentioned above, DVD of 'Its a Wonderful Life' (which she has never seen), the soundtrack to 'The Greatest Showman' on vinyl, expansion cards for Monty Python Fluxx and Magic: The Gathering and a Bill & Ted boardgame (she loves Bill and Ted). Normally I get her the new illustrated edition of Harry Potter, but they don't seem to have released one this year.

Ash got an action figure playset for when he is a little older and a ton of baby toys including multiple train sets (including one his gran bought him that I had really wanted to get. Its got a dinosaur theme).

My brothers and their families are getting gift cards for the local cinema so they can all go have a couple of days out together. Mum's record player has been delivered along with some spare needles for it. I'll get some toys for the youngest ones as well, although since the older kids are now over 18, if they don't give presents this year back then it will be the last year they get them. Joys of getting older there kids.

My little sister is getting some Unicorn stuff from Ash, I still need to get her something from me and get my aunt Gina a present.
