[Crusader]

Happy boxing day none the less.

oh, indeed! I'm stuck debating wether or not I'm willing to buy a PSP for the one game I want on the system (though it IS A Metal Gear title so I REALLY want it... damnit!)

[little miss sunshine]

sooo.......

 

My Christmas presents were pretty sweet.

 

The boyfriend - a gift card for the movie theater (where we first met because we worked there), Mystical perfume and a white gold necklace with a circle pendent with little diamonds around it. The necklace is very pretty and WAY more than I expected.

 

His parents - a cookbook and some thinsations.

 

My grandparents - pjs and socks

 

His gram - a hand-knitted scarf

 

My Dad - some cash and chocolate.

 

Definitely a 10/10

I got gift certificates gallore and today I used my Future Shop one to buy Live Fast, Die Never and Orgazmo.

If people give gift certificates, they should just give money instead.

[Dan #3]

I agree, 'cos it's like they're saying; "We don't trust you with money, so we're going to limit you to this one place to buy things at."

 

Though, I always approve of Electronics/Record store gift certificates, because my family should never buy me music. Yanni's Greatest Hits has no place in my record collection.

[ecnarf]

I concur with the electronics stuff.

 

Otherwise I would just spend the money on booze instead of something neat and/or useful.

I asked for gift certificates for a videogame store. I'm satisfied.

I had a card waiting for me at work today. One of the pharmacists gave me $100! She is really nice and is always doing nice stuff like that. When my Mom died she gave me $50 cash and a $100 gift card for the grocery store. She also transfered some Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum points to me so I could buy a digital camera. She is just so nice.

 

As an aside, I didn't know that when a parent dies, people give you money. It's like some strange consolation prize. People gave me monetary gifts and said to buy something that when I looked at it, it would make me smile.

Money is a shy person's hug, I guess. They just wanted to help somehow, and often people don't know what to do, so best thing to do is resort to something makes everyone happy in most cirumstances. Gifts.

[Lauren]

money doesn't buy happiness but it certainly won't hurt...

Yes, it does buy happiness.

[Shiri]

Like my dad likes to say: Money isn't important, as long as you have plenty of it.

[Crusader]

your dad is a smart man.

[Shiri]

With money, yes. With everything else, no.

[Crusader]

true for most of us.

[Lauren]

my dad is a smart guy. makes a daughter proud!

[Kumquat]

My dad looks like a gun-slinging Mexican bandito.

 

It's pretty sweet.

[Muran]

My dad acts like a chinese-filipino William Shatner and says things like

 

"Stiff Shick" (Stick Shift) and "Mawn Lower" (Lawn Mower)

 

and expects us not to laugh at him.

[Hyphnip]

you're so sensitive to the feelings of others

[bishopx]

My Dad is short and fiesty, even at a little more than half his normal weight, he's still ready to pick a fight.

hey guess what? you can totally stop reminding us in every other post that you're chinese, cuz WE HAVE EYES AND WE CAN TELL!

[Hyphnip]

Tracy isn't Chinese. What kind of Chinese name is "Tracy"? That'd be like a black guy being named Charles or a German guy being named Tim. that just doesn't make sence.
