I finished on the 22nd. My mom went shopping yesterday (the 23rd, which I would avoid as it's supposedly the busiest) and today is the busiest day for grocery and liquor store shopping, which my parents are also doing this morning. I remember last year when my sister and I had to go get something on Boxing Day :z
It's my mom's birthday so we may *try* to find some restaurant to eat in.

happy birthday, jalines_mom.

There are 6 birthdays in my family/extended family that occur between Dec. 5th and Dec 27th. The capper being my older sister born on Christmas day. I've given up trying to make any sense of it.

(Dec 23 06, 14:32)I have a bunch of family that have their birthdays in November and December but not as many as 6. Must suck :(
Both my parents have their birthdays over the Christmas holidays, my mom's being Christmas Eve. Which is why we usually get to open our presents at night on the 24th :)

thanks Brian :)

It took me over 2 hours to wrap my presents last night - never again will I attempt to do it when I'm slightly tiddly and have no sellotape.
Another thing - I vow that next year, everything I buy will be box-shaped.

heh.
I always believe I hate wrapping...until I actually start doing it. I've always been good at folding and wrapping and cleaning and...shit...better not tell any of these to whoever I get in a relationship with...

Hello everyone.
Yes , Jaline. I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays. I'm heading back to the store in a moment so i'm on the HATE end right now. But as always, Christmas eve and day are spent with the whole family... and i really do love them all. So MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, HAPPY FESTIVUS, HAPPY HANUKKAH, HAPPY KWANZAA, and HAPPY BOXING DAY to NTers everywhere!

Jaline you just gained a lot of points in my book.
Please tell me future mother-in-law Happy Birfday, haha!
Actually, I have everything written down that I want to get everyone, so I'm off to the mall now.
My plan is to be back by 1PM(EST) for the Steelers game ... I have about an hour, haha.

it's not like I am shopping or anything. Just asking everyone.

Just called a friend to find out where we're all boozing it today. But he's still shopping.
- cosmo0
you guys buying me a gift?
- welded0
I've only got one or two things left to get, but I don't have the time to go out nor a clue what to look for. I'm thinking of just buying them something online and calling it a day. Fuck it, here's a print out of your gift. You'll get it in a fortnight.
- cosmo0
maybe we can help go get something. Who is it for? and what do they like?
- welded0
I found both of their LiveJounal and MySpace accounts, so I'm trolling for idea there. All I can say is that there both big nerds - one for books, Harry Potter, and anime; the other for chemistry and old people clothing.

Thanks, but I doubt she'd be into that. I liked it, though. :) The anime she's into is more... Japanese. ex Ouran High School Host Club and Death Note. The problem is that she's made it quite clear she's into these and I can only assume somebody has gotten her them. I *do* have a $50 gift card for Chapters, so maybe she gets that. I don't know. I fucking hate Christmas.
Maybe art - some decent prints in the $30-$50 range.
