Don't rate me funny, I'm fucking serious.
I don't buy my friend's shit nor do I want shit from them. It's weird. I only want stuff from family.
i bought something expensive for my grandmother
I helped an old person unload their groceries and gifts from a cab i was sharing with them.
Spent $140~ or so buying presents for close friends and family.
Only got to like two friends after buying for all family though.
I called my mum and told her the little tree was nice that she sent me. I posted Merry Christmas on some of my freinds pages and said their recent pictures were good. I also ate some noodles.
I bought my little brother a 360 Elite with 4 games, an extra controller, a controller charger and 1 year of live.
He...got me nothing... :frown:

:aaa:
This man is a god.
I played video games and insulted people.
I don't care.
I spent $0 on my friends.
Your friendzzz are very fortunate to know such a generous guy.
I bought Audiosurf for someone on Facepunch who deleted me from his Steam friends list immediately afterwards.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A SEIZURE FROM IT
Just kidding.
I bought my best friends a bunch of silly dollar store toys. We had a lot of laughs and a smashing good time opening and playing with them all. I spent about ten bucks.
I also bought a ladyfriend a big pink, fluffy bathrobe. It's rather cute. I thought it was a pretty good gift.
Look for a job.
Got my girlfriend a ring, necklace, and CD.
Got my bestfriend a two part puzzle piece necklace with BEST and FRIEND written on them respectively.
Spent about fifty bucks. Merry christmas.
I spent about 250-300$ on friends and families presents. I spent quite a bit of money. Quite glad I did though.

One friend loves The Beatles, so I got her a Beatles T-shirt, around [b]$15[/b]
One is very artistic and a kid at heart so I got her a 3D colouring kit, [b]$15[/b]

One likes turtlenecks and snax, got him a turtleneck and a bag of Poppycock, [b]$15[/b]

Holy shit, you back for Xmas break or something?

Funny, I remember your mom receiving the same gift last night.
:Zing:
Me and my friends don't really give Christmas gifts to each other.
My brothers and I built my dad a new computer though.
I feel bad because I never give anyone a gift for Christmas because I never have the money and I don't know what anyone else likes.
the more you spend on people the better a person you are
I helped some guy having trouble walking. He had a cane and every time he took a step, he nearly fell. It took him about a minute to walk one square of sidewalk while it usually takes about 1 second. I felt sorry so I helped him walk to his house which was nearby. He thanked me and I told him, "You're welcome, and Merry Christmas," and I walked home feeling proud.

Yep, got two weeks of holiday leave. :)
I sent all my friends a Christmas card on Facebook because I am not paying for the postage to mail a real letter to them.

Wow man. I wasn't expecting to see you for a while. How's it been? Also I wasn't sure about the leave policies, do they rotate it or something so everyone gets some time off?
i got 195 dollars and im going to hoard it all to myself.
