The friends got a 20 dollar game in reciprocation for another friend giving me a 40 dollar game. If I could get my family to not give me stuff, I would; I'd really rather not have people spend money on me. As for the $10 gift card, they get a lot those each year and $10 bucks will last them several months as they only ever spend a dollar or two each time for hot chocolate or the cheapest cup of coffee. Also, I hate them, not the other way around; they are unaware of this.

Gadani had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
Why do you hate them? All they seem to do is love you, Maho.
Obligatory gift-giving after I told them I'd rather they spent their money on someone or something else (I don't like receiving gifts for many reasons) doesn't outweigh their behavior the rest of the time. If you saw the way my grandmother stomps my grandfather into the dirt every day, you'd understand; particularly if you were in my position of being unable to do anything about it.

Mom bought me a brown winter jacket...problem is I already have 3 winter coats, don't need a 4th.
From my brother:
A dragonforce cd I sent him the link to when asked what I wanted for christmas.
Everyone else in my family that bothers to get me presents will most likely get me walmart giftcards which is how I prefer it then I can save them for something I truely desire that I probably wouldn't spend the money on myself.
I got my mom some suduko books since she loves doing them and does them at such a rate she can always use more, and I got my brother a Michael Collins gift pack that the ABC store had on sale the week before christmas, was the same price as a bottle of irish whisky only it came with 2 glasses. I didn't get my dad anything because I'm not really close enough to him to know what to get him and I dislike buying presents unless they really scream "So and so will love this" to me.
The only thing I asked for this year was clothes, so I'm pretty happy.
Be getting a few more things later today.

CoV game card (30 bucks I dont have to spend. Glee!)
and... core componants to start building my new gaming rig
(this ole P4 1.8 has seen the end of its days)
It's actually a lot nicer than I hoped. I love the Wylde Spiral design, and it has a nice smooth raised texture. The stickers are really high quality and don't seem like they'll come off after sweating a little.
The best part is the button covers, though. They're extremely smooth and make you feel like you're pressing nothing. It's really fantastic. I wish one of them had the yellow button indent, but alas. I don't need it as much as I used to, at least.
If you like the Sunburst or Wylde Spiral skins, I reccomend getting them. Worth the 15 bucks, imo.
