    A playstation 4 with bloodborne is around 360 Euro. My total budget for christmas this year (assuming i want to eat something every day) is... around 100 Euro. From that i want to buy something for my gf, my brother, and my mom. Yeah, won't work^^

    The only thing I really want is a 360 camera which I will be getting as one of the present.

    The rest I told people to use their imagination as I don't have anymore immediate need or want unless they want to buy me an Audi TT or R8 (which I already have model version of both of them) or a 3 bedroom house in London.

    So yeah I will be getting random stuff lol.

    I don't have a dad so didn't get one.

    If I have a son in the future, for his 15th birthday I will get him a fleshlight instead.

    That's awesome. Reminds me that I should up my volunteering this year
    My daughter had a brain tumor and had to go through chemo for 18 months as part of it. Every Wednesday we sat in chemo section of oncology ward at a children's. Saddest place in the world to me. But one of the things that made it easier was the volunteers that came by. Just talking to the kids, playing games with them, doing crafts with them. Now that she is better, I really wanted us to pay it forward.

    If you are serious about volunteering , try your local children's oncology hospital. (If you have one) It's a really shitty thing for any parent to go through and 10X worse for the kids. Little things, like someone to make them smile, is huge.
    People working 2 jobs in the US (at least one part-time) - 7.8 Million (Roughly 4.9% of the workforce)

    People working 2 full-time jobs in the US - 360,000 (0.2% of the workforce)

    Average time worked weekly by the US Workforce - 34.5 hours

    I'm going to see where I can volunteer in the community. Relishing in presents and gorging myself is fun and all, but not really in the spirit of the name on the holiday.

    Dunno really, kinda at the stage now where I'll accept whatever a friend or family member gives me, and I don't ask them what they want I just buy them what I think they'd like.

    Not many people are religious to that level.

    Many people celebrate Christmas because of the presents and fun times, even though we are not religious. Without all these many of us won't even celebrate Christmas to begin with.

    seeing as I won't get it and I really don't need more crap it's kind of pointless.

    *my avatar kinda sums it up.....

    True, if I didn't get Christmas as a holiday off work, I certainly wouldn't be going home to be with my family. It's basically Thanksgiving 2 for me.

    Considering my husband is deployed, and my in-laws don't talk to me at all. My mom will get me whatever I ask... it's usually just an appliance I've been wanting/needing. Like this year... I asked for a nice blender or a standing mixer. I bake a lot... so the latter would be immensely useful.

    I have no idea if my husband's internet connection will even hold long enough for him to order something :P We get gifts for one another... but it's usually just 'I want this...', so we agree on a price for each of us. Then we buy it. Smaller gifts are usually the surprise ones. Like this year... I'm gonna replace our wedding bands. We both love Star Wars... so I'm gonna get us a set of 'I love you/I know' rings. He should be amused with it enough to wear it. He loves stuff like that.

    65" 4K curved TV (most likely will wait till March, the one I want is still $4k)
    PS4 pro (only if it's a special edition that is recoloured or something)
    Alienware 17" VR ready laptop

    That's about it... all the big stuff I want is coming for my bday, like the new Nintendo and most likely the first two items on the list.

    Hell, just normalish Patek Philippe watches are too rich for my blood. Maybe some day...

    Serious: About $500,000 of kitchen equipment and supplies.

    Realistic: Fuck it, if anyone wants to buy something, give that money to a charity instead.

    First, that watch looks freaking amazing for being made in 1943.

    Second, we could go crazy and get all ridiculous here:

    Nothing, no money this year for anything other than buying presents for others.

    Not religious, just driven by my pure blooded hatred for "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas."



    But hey, it gets me out helping the community.

    Care for a quick brief of the plot and why you hate it?
