Title: Christmas 2017
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2017-11-30 13:24:10
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas everyone!  We are entering that wonderful season of family, gifts, candy canes, and Christmas trees! 

So what are you plans for Christmas?  Anything you want to get or something you are excited about giving someone else?

Post by: Miggs on 2017-11-30 13:28:06
We got an actual tree this year. Not a fake one.

For now I'm just focusing more on my classes.

Anyone interested in doing another sceret santa this year?
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Miggs on 2017-11-30 21:22:44
I think we talked about this in another thread. I'd be down.
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-11-30 21:41:35
As Darrin said, it is up to the "private sector" t set up a secret Santa.  So if you want it, better set it up. ;D

I will be seeing family. :)

I can't believe it's time to start listening to Christmas music again!

And how cool, a REAL Christmas tree!  I got my lil' fake on all decorated already and it's flashing with lights.  I'm looking at it right now and it warms my heart. :)

I just moved so I don't have enough money to buy my own little tree right now. Next year tho

My fiance is going to be out of town for most of it so we got a small little charlie brown tree.  It's actually pretty cute compared to a big one.  I get the feeling next year we're going to have a couple of them in addition to a big tree.
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Miggs on 2017-12-01 12:34:46
My parents got my sister a small tree, too. I agree, small trees are cute.
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Rainberry on 2017-12-01 13:25:53
Lil' tree's are much easier to set up and put away when the time comes.  But don't get me wrong, a beautifully ornamented Christmas tree is magical.
Title: Re: Christmas 2017

I think I just finished my Christmas shopping. :)  I'm happy. :D

Lucky you... I should probably get to work on it.
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2017-12-02 17:38:55
I'm done with all my major Christmas shopping but I want to find some small nick nacks and paddy whacks as stocking stuffers for people. 
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Silverwing on 2017-12-03 12:33:53
Is it just me, or are gift cards for people too impersonal... though often the most practical?  It allows someone to get what they want as opposed to you risking getting something they do not want?
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-12-03 12:41:22
Gift cards are the easy way out... but I am willing to bet, most people would actually prefer them. 
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Blurr on 2017-12-03 14:49:45
I don't like gift cards as gifts from me. I It's just lazy in my opinion.
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: yasl on 2017-12-04 06:29:37
Gift cards are strictly less useful than the equivalent amount of cash.  If you don't know what to get someone, and find yourself reaching for a gift card: stop, think, and give cash instead.

... or at least do so if I'm your intended recipient.  I think maybe some folks find cash distasteful?  I've never really understood this; I can see how a personalized gift is preferable to cash, but not how a gift card is...
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: RainySunshine on 2017-12-04 14:34:12
Cash is always a great gift I think.  But when you are giving a gift to a child, you got to get an ACTUAL gift.  No gift card.

So is anyone going to set up a secret Santa?
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Wolfwood on 2017-12-05 13:39:35
Maybe we should do it diff this year somehow?  But if it is going to happen, it better happen right away.  We're running out of time.
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Grapefoot on 2017-12-05 13:39:54
Exactly.  Or maybe a private one for people who want to partake?
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Smiles2us on 2017-12-05 17:50:56
Someone better step up then. :)
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2017-12-12 23:19:19
So I guess no one is starting a secret Santa this year.

Besides that, I have finished all my Christmas shopping!  Now i just have to wrap it up. 
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-12-14 20:20:37
I am going to wrap Friday evening.  :)  Get it all done.  I think I have everything I need.

I giggle at the people still having to shop. ;)

^ You giggling is a fun image to have.  A Smiles pone giggling... but is it for fun or mischievous reasons?
Title: Re: Christmas 2017

you get to see your super cool Dad that everyone here likes. ;D
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Smiles2us on 2017-12-17 00:04:50
Hmmm, I wonder if he would still be "super cool" if he found this community?  I wonder what his comments would be upon learning about something called a "sneeze fetish?"

Have you guys ever though of that?  I am going to pose this question in a topic now. ;D 
Title: Re: Christmas 2017
Post by: Rainberry on 2017-12-17 00:05:18
You let your mind take you away and avoid acknowledging how cool your Dad is, Smiles. ;D
Title: Re: Christmas 2017

I already made the topic.  We are busy making topics tonight.  People will wake up Sunday morning with new topic gifts under the PSF Christmas tree. ;D

The Frez.  If that isn't a nickname for that place, it should be.

Because it involves pain?

That is definable a selling point. 

But so is Numbers singing soprano.

Numbers doesn't sing soprano....

Title: Re: Christmas 2017

Well first of all, if Numbers sang soprano, he would have a deep voice.

Do you get screwed on birthday gifts because everyone just lumps your gifts at Christmas?

My grandparents give me some extra cash and my folks give me some extra gifts. But they usually wait til my actual birthday to give em to me.

Speaking of birthdays on or near Christmas, we were at my brother's place when his missus, who's 9 months along, started having pains just after we finished dinner, and he had to rush off to the hospital.  Thankfully it was just a false labor, but I daresay that kid is ready to drop any day now.  He could be along any time between tonight and MLK Day.

So we got a new Chromebook and one of those fancy boxes that connects your TV to the Web.  Hopefully 2018 will be the year we finally say goodbye to the clunky old ObamaCable box (http://www.cepro.com/images/uploads/dtvpal.jpg) I've been griping about for what seems like forever.

@NostradamusTheSeer What an exciting Christmas!  A congrats to your brother and his wife!  That is exciting and going to be a big change.  You're gonna be the uncle who can give the kid tons of sugar before handing them back to their parents. ;)  Also wonderful on the new laptop and tv thing.  I hope it all works out and if you got some questions with the web tv, I might be able to help.  We also got many capable techs here.

@Blurr001 Right on!  Is it a big/small/curved/QLED or some fancy tv we should know about? :)  Probably a good sounding soundbar!

I gave to people I know who have Amazon Prime the Alexa Dot or Fire TV based off what they seemed to like better in conversations.  Also gave some books too. :)

That was nice of you.  I gave some gift cards, a scarf, some slippers and this fancy tupperware set. ;D

I bought someone a new smartphone they've been wanting and not-so-cleverly been hinting at for awhile.  :nervoussmile:

I actually received a really cool thing this year, much better then what I gave. ;D Lets not talk about that.... 

I got Amazon Fire TV.  It's a USB stick to plug into my TV and it goes with my Amazon Prime and my newly acquired Echo Dot Alexa thing. :D

It works and it is wonderful. :)  Very easy to set up.  You just need a tv with Wifi and a USB plug.  If you have an Amazon Prime account, you get instant access to movies, tv, and a web browser.  Great for watching Youtube too!  The remote comes with Alexa built in so you can talk to her and get stuff fast.
