If you know you're making Christmas happen for someone else, post it here if they're a non-NC'er. (Wouldn't wanna spoil the Secret Santas). I expect the gift revealing on this thread to pick up after Christmas. Also, what are you planning to do this year? Andrew and I are too broke to see each other this year, but are planning for my birthday, which will help quell the devastation of no-more-insurance birthday.

This year I lucked out with the gift shopping, crappy economy=hundreds of going out of business sales! So everyone gets something from me this year! Yaaay?
My sister and I despise each other considerably less this year, and I'm not sure why. We never talk. But we had a very good Thanksgiving and black Friday shopping together. Like we were sisters all over again. (My dad forces us to use euphamisims for 'hate' and 'dislike'. We're only allowed to say "we don't get along" in front of our parents.) I'm really not sure why they care so much. We're in our mid-20's, and you can't force your kids to like each other. We just BS getting along for the sake of not wanting to add drama to family gatherings, and being civil isn't good enough for him either. *shrug*
Andy and I are mail-exchanging this year, and sending each other pictures/videos to celebrate with afterwards. He said he was sending me a 6 months supply of baking Brownies and Holiday cookies. But wouldn't name what else he was sending me. I've got him 7 t-shirts, and some more Transformers that he says he "collects".

For me I had asked for that aforementioned laptop in RL AatoW, a year of basic Neopets premium, and to have my Coach purses repaired.
