i usually get books for family. I used to put all the effort into presents for my exes when they weren't exes. Bonsai's were always good.

Don't open your presents early or I'll call the cops!

Boy Arrested For Opening Xmas Gift Early
Mother has kid, 12, nabbed after Nintendo Game Boy is unwrapped

DECEMBER 5--A South Carolina boy, 12, was arrested Sunday morning after his mother called police to report that he had unwrapped a Christmas present without her permission. According to a Rock Hill Police Department report (a copy of which you'll find below), the child opened a Nintendo Game Boy, though he had been directed not to by family members. When the boy's mother learned that the $85 gift had been opened, she called cops, who charged the juvenile with petty larceny. In an interview with The Herald newspaper, the boy's mother, a 27-year-old single parent, described her son as a disruptive child, noting that she hoped his arrest would serve as a corrective to disorderly behavior at school and home.

I'm forfeiting my present-receiving privileges this year and getting my parents to give the money to the Keysborough Animal Shelter instead.

I feel warm and gooey inside.

Start saving chats. I want this next year:

Nar, too cheap.

If you really love me, you'll spend the better half of $20k on me.

Timewaster, a book requires at least as much attention as a movie.

Own any books?

Behringer VAMP2 Virtual Amplification Processor

I wish my dad had given me that blues box he gave to hyperfuzz.

I got money, French champagne, a Hendrix box, a Buffalo Springfield box, more money, too many books to list, a ridiculous hamper, and some more money.

Oh, and a ticket to ATP. A pretty decent haul, I reckon.

My mum gave me poo.

Actual poo.

By donating a pile of manure to some poor Indian farmers via Oxfam.

So yes, I got a shit present from mum.

My little sister was given an iPod by her ex. But she doesn't have a computer.

Not even heavy enough for a paperweight.

my family are landfill addicts.

I got a box of dirt, too.

To grow mushrooms in. Portobello mushrooms!

Peter Careys 'the true history of the Kelly Gang' and a tattoo voucher....fuckin sweet!

I got tops presents. A Sunbeam Cafe Series Food Processor from Mum and Dad, and Tiffany earrings from my husband.

My little brother brought back a lurid blue acrylic painting of a wave on canvas from Bali and gave me that for Christmas. I don't know what to do with it. Frame it out of guilt and hang it in the study? Keep it rolled up in the hope that one day I have an eighteen year old stoner as a child that I can re-gift it to?

Perhaps I'll buy a fibro beach shack and hang it there. Yep. Perfect solution.

i got cash to put towards a new mattress. how exciting.

my most sucessful present was the scorsese (can't spell, don't care) blues box set that i gave my dad. at first glance he thought it was DVDs and was all set to return it because he had burnt copies, and then he figured out it was CDs and he spent the next four days listening to it and reading the book that goes with it and giving us all little snippets of blues history. he was stoked with it. i love it when a present works like that.

My best present was a Technics system- CD player, tuner, twin deck cassette player, amp & speakers.
