Are you done yet? Eh? EH?!

I'm not I need to get one more thing for my mom, and I'd like to get something else for my grandma. I also ought to get something for my other grandma's husband, but I really don't know much about the man except that he's from Texas and he likes the Cowboys.

Just to add insult to injury, my secret santa present may not make it until after Christmas. So if you haven't gotten anything by the big day, don't fret! It's on its way, honest

Get your Texan Step-Grandpa some mega-hot chili. Or a young concubine.

Those both go over well in Texas.

Let's see... I still have to get something for:

1. My mother - I can't find a decent wireless keyboard for her in the stores...
2. My sister-in-law - that's easy, she just wants a Shania Twain DVD...
3. My father - A mall gift certificate should be good for him. It's one of the things he asked for, too...

I bought all my Christmas gifts in early November. I hate having to rush at the last moment.

Still have to wrap them, though, so I guess that defeated the object of getting them early.

Yeah, I'm done. It's a pretty easy task for me; I don't have any siblings, so I just shop for my parents.

Just finished today. All I have left are some lottery tickets for my Mom and Dad (scratch off and pull tab stuff, they love em) that I'll pick up on Christmas Eve when I get my next check.

I'm giving my parents and sister cash. (Yes, out of 5 siblings, I'm only getting something for one of them.)

Why cash? Well, I admit that it's a lame gift, but they don't have any room for more stuff in that place, and money's what they really need. So, cash it is.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Well unless I can come up with another $1000 within four days, I'm done. Of course if you'd like you can donate to the purchase of what I posted earlier, this.
