Well that's it, it's the first X-mas I've been single in 6 years, no one else to shop for. I will be sending my favorite aunt a nice Christmas "Centrepiece"[and this is the correct spelling I'm Canadian]. Merry Christmas.

dad: not sure as he doesn't want anything and I'm not in a position to get him anything half way decent, might get him a 5.1amp though not sure.....
 
Mom: er, not sure but the other day she said she found something she wants

Dad: he libev 5000 miles(forgot how far UK is from arizona) away so sending him something that costs twice as much in england and twice as much to ship in time would be stupid.

When i move out there in 2 years i will make up for it and buy comp gifts 😀 (btw i am poor HS student lol)

step dad:no idea

Little brother (7): he made an xmas list of 10 things, so i will get him something of 20 pound value from that. Some 'robot wars' thing

Older brother(17):think i will get him his own copy of half life and own cd key so we can play at the same time


Me: With my own money i'll get a nice new computer chair, then other people will hopefull get me new desks and a switch 😀
