If your family checks the forums, don't post obviously tongue.gif

I got my sister a Kodak camera/printer/travel bag bundle thingy, my dad Aloha Bobby and Rose and a Black & Decker watch and I plan on taking my mom to the mall to buy her some jewelery.

In my family we all agree that christmas is just for the kids and if the adults want anything they can just buy it themselves. For my oldest daughter (8yrs) so far we got her a nikon digi cam, a new HP photo printer, 2 gig Ipod and a 5hp 2 seater go kart, she'll get a few more toys and thats it for her. For my younger daughter (1 1/2yrs) so far we got her the thomas train( the one you can sit on and ride) and a bunch of extra track so I can run it all through the house, a big inflatable ball pit with 1,000 balls, a club house kit for the backyard, A POTTIE, the elmo doll that everyone is going crazy for, she'll also get a few more little things and thats it.

I actually got the wife a suprise as well, we agreed not to exchange gifts but she been wanting a new puppy for a while now, a "Puggle" and I thought the kids would like it as well, it will be arriving at the airport on the 20th so they may get that one a little early.

I know my kids are spoiled rotten but I want them to have all the fun I did when I was a kid, I'll have fun making a go Kart track in the back yard and laying train tracks all over my house, as long as I see them smile thats the only gift I want for christmas.

Almost forgot myself, Bought myself a new Sprigfeild XD .45 pistol with laser sight and tactical mount for the new mini led light, also did everything to get my carry permit and that should arrive soon fing02.gif .

^^ Wow. Christmas spirit!

I'm just getting cards. I've got noone within gift giving distance and what's the point of sending something across the US that they can buy themselves anyways? So i'm just sending out cards as usual. \

I wish i could be home for christmas, but the army has me about 3K miles away. I'm taking leave in january because i want to go home for a longer time then just 2 weeks. So I get to spend the holidays with my armed forces buddies.
