Alright guys, so i saw a sort of similar thread on a few forums. I may as well start one here too!

What do you want for Christmas? What are you planning on Giving your Loved ones?


Ill start this one out. I want a NAS ( Network attached storage, so i can access it wirelessly with my Lappy, and use it on my Desktop as well )

I plan on Giving Gordon a Remote car starter if i can afford a decent one, installed. ( My tastes run towards expensive...) I think hell appreciate that!

Where are you having the trees planted? that sounds like a cool idea!

Me and the Misses are keeping it small this year. No clue what she wants yet :lol: I guess I have been buying my Christmas gifts for myself (snakes) since well I lost track (lol) also got a PS3 as well recently. So I'm not really expecting much more.

I'm getting my Christmas present next weekend. I wrote a Christmas list up and there were multiple references to ball pythons in it. Mom and Dad gave in, so I'll be buying my first het. female ever this upcoming weekend. I'm speaking to an awesome breeder and we're working on some things. -Squeals.- I also got a brand new Dell Laptop too. 4gb, Tangerine orange, 320gb harddrive...yummy.

I think I'm going to buy my Boyfriend a set of Guinness pint glasses, a PS3 Gift Card so that He can buy updates and stuff for his PS3, and some other stuff.

For Mom and Dad, the Boyfriend and I are going to pick them up a digital camera.

For His family, I'm doing girly gift baskets with Bath and Body Works stuff.

Well hubby and I do a "buy it yourself" gift exchange I bought myself two new snakes for which he can't yell at me for and he bought himself a new guitar and a new apple computer which I can't yell at him for. On Christmas we still exchange simple gifts - usually something like new steak knives or slippers. Santa leaves us both a bottle of our favorite "spirits" in our stocking which makes for a very merry Christmas.

Eric is getting the Lego Death Star (which means I will be spending most of Christmas helping him put together the 3000 plus piece thing) and a few smaller Lego sets, some video games, a new surf board a couple of little toys and underwear, socks and a funny Christmas sweater he will never wear - cause you've always gotta give kids underwear, socks and a funny sweater they will never wear for Christmas - make them appreciate the toys more.

For our "green gifts" we are adopting Koala Bears this year :D - but I do like the plant a tree gift.

My Christmas list is kind of boring but I'm hoping to get a nice digital camera (so I can take some better pictures of the snakes of course :)) and a small tv/dvd combo for my room. I asked for a few things from RBI (sexing probes and a few hides) too but I doubt I'll be getting those lol I'll just buy em myself if I don't :D.

The boys will get an XBox 360 and whatever the inlaws and grand parents pass their way. The wife and I rarely exchange gifts and when we do they're something small.

That older one has been in the family for decades. Dad brought it over to let me take some pictures.

I have to many brains or not enough Guts to find out. It is called a pinfire. The bullets had a little pin that stuck out the top of the bullet and the hammer dropped down causing a spark that sent the bullet flying. Near as several people can figure it. IT is either a Belgian or English copy of a french gun. Made between 1817-1890's. Not a whole lot of marks on that old gun. The smith has been in the family or my possession for about three days and a couple of boxes of ammo

Already got my present on Black Friday: Samsung 40" LCD HDTV with a surround system. (My wife was wishing she skipped the surround sound after football Sunday!) I bought her some odd and end things and a $500 diamond necklace she's been wanting. The kids all get there usual unreal amounts of stuff....

What do you want for Christmas?

To be able to walk with no cast and no crutches. :lol:

Then second would be for all the snow to melt and the temp to go to 60 degrees for a motorcycle ride for the day. :rockon:

Told Jeff I just want some money to spend at the fabric store since my mom bought me a new sewing machine for Christmas. As for me buying for him...well he always says he doesn't need anything. So I have no idea yet.

I want socks....can never have enough socks when you work outside, they are made like crap and fall apart.

I guess that answers what I am getting Tama....

The kids are preteens who gave me lists of junk from the american girl doll store so they are getting visa/mastercard gift cards...

We are getting one of those cool creepy looking dolls from Tama's mom and my parents might get to see me....:lol:

Yeah, it looks pretty crappy out the window. Ol' lady took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get home tonight on a normal 35 minute drive. She said it was really slippery out. I guess I'll have to wait till March for that ride. :devil:

Got the kids a trampoline with a safety wall so I dont have to freak out everytime they are on it.

I have another post that talked about me getting Slipknot tickets from my dad...thats a big highlight in my present list. I also got a couple early BP presents. Only thing else I really want is an external harddrive..I am maxing out my laptop memory with all my pics and such from Iraq and all the images and textures I use in photoshop.

Trying to figure what I should get the wife this year...besides the 800 dollar blood python she wants lmao

Dont know what I am getting the wife, she wants a Kitchen Aid mixer and a coffee pot that is high end looking and I usually do a good job at taking care of myself. As for the kids it is the usual stuff but the thing I would love the most is for my oldest daughter to move back home away from the scum that I would like to remove from this earth or just the removal part...........
