What gifts are you hoping to receive for the holidays?

Alright boys, sleigh bells are beginning to ring in my ears (though that could be the $2 Long Islands from last night... Man I love college), lights are going up around the neighborhood in obnoxious fashion, and a few of the bars around here have even begun to sell the viscous ambrosia that is spiked egg nog(though it's probably not as good as Uncle Eddie's butter rum). So I figured, with the merriment of the holiday season drawing near, what better question to pose than one that is probably at the forefront of most of our idle time: "What sweet shit am I gonna get myself/receive from others/ give as gifts this season?"

I'll start it off... I'm getting myself a nice bottle of scotch, and a trip to the Caribbean to celebrate the hard work I put in this year... for Mom I'm getting a trip to the spa, Dad not so sure yet because its tough to get stuff for the man who has everything, for my sister probably a handbag she's had her eye on... And for my little nephew who is the man... I'm thinking Red Rider bb gun, Christmas Story style...

No, but really, probably just whatever money my family will throw at me. :-p I'm not really big on getting gifts because if I need something and can afford it I buy it.

I'm a Jew, so gift giving was last night. My mommy and daddy didn't get me the unicorn I was asking for. Although I did get the second thing on the list: Season 1 of Keeping up with the Kardashians and a $25 Kardashian Kard.
