Sure you can, Espy!

Ok Gizzie! I'll do that after dinner.

-climbs on top of mdom's hamster ball only to fall inside the cracks- o3o owwie

Hey, this ball is only good enough for one!

DK is pocket sized so ish ok ovo

DK even made a cute little comic about taking her shopping. XD

8D SHOPPING!!!!!!!!! The DK wants ALL THE THINGS! >:D

lol, some fo the things you wanted I also want. XD

-hoards all the things- Mine >:o

what I am also pocket sized and the hamster ball is hamster sized!!!

Almost forgot I was told to share my holo polish pics. So here is Rainbow ALL the things! (By itself and over a dark red polish.)

"<(>n<)>" nu-uh!! DK is smaller than Mdom!

DK is calling me fat? >:UUUU

THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL KADERIN!!!!

It is one of my favorite polishes ever! Unfortunately, I'm down to about half a bottle now.

That is awesome polish, and sounds like you might need to get more. ^^;

Unfortunately, it is kind of pricy (like $10-13...I forget the exact price) and I can only get it online.
The only reason I have it now is because one of my amazing friends sent it to me for my birthday last year.

DK is calling you tall >:o

Ah, so its lasted at least a year then. Well, you could always use your birthday/christmas money for another bottle in the future. =)

Birthday money? You're funny!
I usually get 1-2 presents from friends and that's it. No money.
Christmas is essentially the same. I get 1-2 presents from friends, my brother usually gives me something lame that I don't want or need and that's it.

for the past 2 years, we've done 'Secret Santa' for Xmas. Xmas 2015, because my older daughter (who had me) was lazy, she ordered a season of a show I watch on DVD. no money.

Xmas 2016, hubby had me, and got me a Chromebook! =) I ended up with money because I had the money I was saving to go towards a Chromebook.

for this Xmas, I'm putting gift cards on my list again. =D

I can put anything I want on my list, but no one will get me anything off it anyway.
BUT the friends that sent me stuff did get me some nice cat stuff and one made me minty soap and some sugar scrub...so that was nice.

Wow, my family usually does a little gift exchange thing, and some of my relatives give us money.

My family does a gift exchange too, though usually they agree in September or October to not give any gifts (I'm not kidding, I've got a homemade video proof of that huge bulk of presents under the tree from one of those years everyone was all "hey, let's not do gifts, everyone owns everything they need anyway and we don't have enough room for new stuff")

Most of the presents are kind of awkward though, and then you sit there and be polite to everyone nevertheless, unless maybe you are my grandpa who re-gifted the hand knitted sweater my mom once gave him to my uncle right away in front of the tree.

I make a wish list and give it to my dad, but we like trolling my stepmother with her gift. We always do a bit of a gag with it. Like one year we got her something she wanted and wrapped it up without putting a name or anything on it. When everyone had opened all the other presents, we handed that one to her, which she was complaining how we didn't give her the gift she wanted, and when she finishes opening the gift she realizes that the gift in her hand was it. Then again my stepmother is of the mind you don't give someone something for Christmas unless they are also giving you something. =.=;

Rings a bell, ml1201. I have one aunt who tallies presents by their monetary value and thinks a crap present which was expensive is always better than something cheap or homemade tailored exactly to the recipient's interests. Just because, you know, money equals love </irony>

(I'm really surprised she never married some random millionaire. Probably didn't find any.)

And there's my grandma who will add stuff like duct tape, paperclips or soft tissues nicely wrapped with a bow whenever she feels the gift table is too empty. :p-grin:

lol, your grandma sounds pretty cute. XD

have decided i want another Luna AND a Unicat. at the moment, i only have 18 19 treats! better get posting more! XD

go go trystan!!
my family does a secret santa every year. But also some other relatives give chocolate too, yumyum.

hee, thanks mdom!

xmas 2014 was the last one where we all got something for everyone - now this was only 9 people total, so... 8 gifts? i would get or make something for my husband, 2 daughters, 2 sisters-inlaw, brother-inlaw, and my mother-inlaw. my father-inlaw, on the other hand, would get the gag gift since he rarely showed up for xmas. (still doesn't). my daughters and my one sis-inlaw (hubby's sister) would always get a TON of gifts.

but there was still the 'what do i get for so-and-so?' ever year. so at a family dinner in octoberish of 2015, we decided to go for the secret santa, and that was the only person you *had* to get something for. in fact, my mother-inlaw asked my younger daughter, who was 14 at the time, if she was absolutely okay with getting only one thing that year, and she was. so a new tradition was born after like 20ish years! =D

Go go go, trystan, you can do it!

Yeah, my grandma is totes adorbs. Tiny little lady, very religious (but not forcing her beliefs onto anyone else), and she easily makes the best lasagna ever.

Secret Santa sounds like a nice idea, though I don't know how that makes it easier to find a good gift. I mean, sure, you only have to think of one now instead of whatever many, but it still leaves the age old question what your folks would really enjoy?

thanks Death!

what we do to help with the gifts is last year, i emailed everyone a short note, for everyone to 'reply all' to with your top 3-5 things that are on your list. everyone gets the list, but you only have to pay attention to your person that you got. =)

I normally only get presents from mom.. this past year ml and sparx got dk things o3o

Friends are the best <333

My family has a list... I usually put 'giftcards from bookstores' in mine xD that and chocolate.

Wish my people had lists too, that would make it easier to find something they actually enjoy. But every time I ask it's all "nah, I own everything I want, you don't have to gift me anything"

Gift cards from book stores? I second that! ^^

I make a list.. mostly of manga and gift cards.. mom ignores those lists and gets me home decor stuff >-> we're still paying off our xmas gifts =o=

My christmas is always busy, but that's because I am the gift giver XD
My brothers family does the "one present per person" thing so no one ever gets more then one even if different people show up. They will refuse gifts at the door and ask you to take them back to the car .-. >.> I say f*** that and usually bring one or 2 for everyone XD
I also enjoy sending gifts to my friends =3 I don't do holidays with my blood family minus my brother, usually I just invite all the friends I consider family and ignore the blood related ones (not that they already don't ignore my side anyways) XD

-pets empty boxes of mochi- ovo sparx is a good gifter

sparx needs to get her shit together so she can send more mochi XD

-waits patiently staring at sparx- OvO

is SparX secretly Santa???
