What you want or getting for Xmas!!????!!!

[mredskins]

I thought this might be a fun thread to start then after Xmas we can come back to it to see if Santa filled our Xmas wishes.


I didn't ask for anything and don't expect anything; which I don't care I just like seeing my son happy on Xmas morning.

Surprisingly though my MIL always gets me something that I enjoy; last year it was a good book.

Nothing that I really want, but my wife always does a great job at surprising me. I'll just casually mention things that I like throughout the year and boom, it's under the tree.

Sometimes I'll get something where I'm like wow, I mentioned this back in June how the heck did she remember?? She's great like that.

I never get anything anyways so....... but the fiancee did just get me an Xbox360

I don't want anything in particular though I would happily accept anything...especially a tree planted in my name.

Getting myself a new C/A system and stove...instead of a new car. Eff spending money and gaining debt.

I can dig that! I never ask for anything that I can provide for myself, so help somebody else out and I'll gladly except some of the credit.

After shedding a good portion of my sizable gut I need new clothes. Also, might as well ask for a video game or two while I'm at it.

My birthday is this friday, the 17th, this year my wife combined my birthday gift and Christmas gift and got me a Bose home theater system the Lifestyle T20. I found all of this out yesterday when I came home and it was on my front porch. I spent last night hooking everything up, and tonight I can't wait to play COD...

Oh, I have to give her props on this, I would like to think that I have the best wife...

If you get more video games, you'll be back into your old chothes in no time.

(Perhaps that was the wrong smiley...nothing personal, I swear!)



My wife and I are getting a new LCD TV for each other as our big gift, then we're spending most on our son.

I've been modifying a Power Wheels truck for him...almost done. Converting a plan F-150 into Blue Thunder, the monster truck. He's obsessed with Monster Jam.

Paint is done, decals and some new parts are next. Will wait until he gets used to it to boost the power.

Might add some LED lights on later, maybe a stereo and speakers.

Should look like this when done:

I got my wife a IRobot vacuum (roomba) for the carpets and an IRobot mop (scooba) for the hardwood floor. I hear they don't do the best job in the world but good enough to hold you off from vacuuming and mopping the old fashioned way for a good week or two. Right now with a puppy and two young kids at home the floors are constantly a wreck, she vacuums/sweeps/mops at least once a day.

And I want to see the dog react to the robot. That's got to be hilarious.

I put in a request for a sound dock for my IPod. This Sony one has wireless speakers, which definitely appeals. Sounded pretty good to me in the store.

Very cool gift from a father to a son, even if he thinks it's from Santa. You should get the greatest Christmas morning freak out reaction, makes it all worth it.

Damn son, that's sick. WTF did you get her?

Dogs hate regular vacuums, I hope that robot vac is durable!



That's a thoughtful gift, really is, but I hope it doesn't backfire on you. You know women and appliances for gifts...might want to pick up a $25 spa gift card as protection.

I asked her a while ago what she might want, and she said "ANYTHING TO MAKE MY LIFE EASIER." Made me laugh. So I figure this qualifies. But you're right, I got a few Pandora charms for the kids to give to her, that should cover all bases.

Thanks. You're definitely right.

Also, it's something no one else around here will have because Dad (I mean Santa) made it just for him. They only made a few of these a few years ago and you never see them for sale...even the decals took me months to locate but I found a set.

We wanted to get him a reward for learning the potty...timing works well for Christmas.


By the way, here's the birthday cake I made him...was huge, it was a big pasta pan, not a cake pan. He has a milk allergy so bakery cakes are out. This cake was cooler anyways:





Anyways...back to the topic. :cheeky-sm
