With Santa packing things up and getting ready to head out what did you ask Santa for this year. I know we are all to old for presents so if you did not ask Santa for anything what did you get for loved ones.

Whoah whoah whoah....who is too old for presents at Christmas? Not me and I am in my 30's. For our loved ones, we got them things from Apple, fluff stuff like Blu Ray movies and video games, fragrance and clothing. Favorite pieces were a necklace from Tiffany & Co for my Mom, a Prada purse for his Mom. I got my guy a new wallet from Louis Vuitton and some other smaller items. I love balance so asked Santa for a pre-order of the new Predator 'Dutch and Billy' figures from Hot Toys, a Candice Tripp 'Patio' Print, a cc case from Louis Vuitton and a new bracelet from Chanel. I did want a fresh mac book, but I have the imac so I took that off the list. We love nice things, and work pretty hard for them, but we understand the true meaning of Christmas and the value of family and friendships during the holidays over nicely wrapped things. We gave to our local Food Bank and the Animal Shelter we adopted our two kittens from...as they are going to receive a kick ass scratching post this year. (Perhaps I should not have gone into so much detail with labels and such...kinda happy that all the shopping finally got done and sent off to different parts of the globe, and wanted to share.)

Ok I to did ask for a few gifts, from the wife Sonic care tooth brush with built in cleaner, also asked for a few video games ( I know I am 30 but who cares ). Parents usually get us a gift card somewhere. Boss was the big winner this year with a 1600 dollar gift card he got for me to Golfsmith, and then he was able to pull some strings and have has friend who manages the place make it go the extra mile. Ok what did i give
Dad- GPS, Bob Kramer Chef Knife Mom- gift card to antropology Brother & his wife ( nothing we go o ver board on his kids and ask them not get us anything ) Nephew- mom handles the buying I just give her the credit card the little girl _ nintendo Ds lite and some hanah montana crap
Wife- Gordon Ramsy cookbook, All Clad canisters, a few dvds, new rug, and had some light being installed as a gift from mom so had the people do some more work around the condo she wanted done finally she will get the dumbass thick shag rug from pottery barn
Giving - my wife works in the animal field so we always write a check to the local human society. We have a condo so the one dog we have does enough damage and gets all the toys.
