Good question. I'm 23, so I don't plan on my parents getting me lots of stuff 41.gif (although I wish they still did... god kids have it made). I will maybe be getting my mother a Tivo, she tapes soap operas and lots of tv shows (ugly betty, that show with all the doctors, etc...), and goes through 100s of tapes, constantly worrying about which one is what, where she left off of, fast forwarding through commercials, etc... so I figure a Tivo would be a decent present.

I haven't decided what to get my father or friends yet. I had a pet lovebird that died about 5 months ago that I miss very much and I'm thinking my parents may get me a new one (I hope so anyway!). If they don't then I'll treat myself and get one by the end of January probably (their only like 80-100 or so). I've always been a fan of lovebirds since I got my first from an uncle at 16. I usually clip their wings, which allows them to run around the house and be a real pet, not a display like most birds tend to be

The biggest thing I plan on treating myself to over the next year or so (assuming it comes out) is Spore!

Cash, preferably in the form of Pounds or Euros. Even better if it is in the form of rapidly-appreciating precious metals. 2.gif

Other than that....just the usual architecture books, etc. and some other things (SHUT UP, DA! 3.gif)


SC4, Forevermore!

Currently preoccupied with architecture school...lurking with caution.

The onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder. I heard the first xmas song in a corner store the other day and that's all it took. I go thru this every year. Anyone else have to deal with this?

But that's what I'm getting and what I get every year. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Probably a Playstation 3 and some clothes. Keeping it small as this is going to be a costly Christmas. But my birthday is a little while after so that's another excuse. But I need a new watch. Mine is extinct. And it's from Iraq.

I don't have a fricking clue what I'm getting for Christmas... I was wanting a PS3, but GTAIV isn't coming out for another few months yet so I guess I could wait untill January-February when the price should drop.

Other than that, i'll prolly just get money...

I don't know until the 25th. 2.gif

I'm hoping for a nice distortion pedal for my guitar, maybe guitar hero 3 for the 360. Not much I particularily want; as GingerBlokey said, I'm 16 and Christmas doesn't excite me too much anymore.

I like to give more than I like to receive. I've already planned out most of the gifts for my family and a few of my close friends. Some of them I have to order of the internet, which I better do early, just in case. I always buy my brothers silly gifts that they enjoy.

I know my grandma bought me some sweaters and I asked for books from my parents. I just like the atmosphere of Christmas more than I like opening gifts.

Oh, and I'd love to get a Zune 2.0 (lol, firebird 3.gif) but it's more satisfying if I save my money up for that.

    To those people who said that they're 16 and not excited about Christmas anymore, I can understand why because what you want gets way expensive and more than your parents/relatives/friends can afford; i know this because im 18, and i have no idea what affordable thing im gonna get for Christmas that I'll like besides the Rock Band game for XBOX 360. However, don't forget the real reason for the season...CHRISTmas.

    ^^yeah lol, people can be really greedy at Christmas....not that I'm not guilty of the same thing. I usually ask for something for my computer, this year I can't think of anything I want though. My parents always remember something I said I wanted like 6 months ago, that I forgot completely about, so I'm usually pleasantly surprised. 4.gif

    16 GB iPod Touch

    HD PVR

    Car starter

    HDDVD Drive for my 360

    $$$

    A Vacation (I can dream, right? 3.gif )
