So random topic, what do you suspect you'll get this Christmas, and what present did you buy for someone else that you really feel chuffed about?
Expecting? Nothing big, I'm in a strange country spending it with a family I never met before, I honestly don't know what to expect.
Maybe a new wacom from my dad in SA< but I think being in South America counts as a present 
What did I buy?
A guitar tuner for my host brother who never thought to buy one. I feel quite proud of myself
PS: I bought myself a xmas present, a stuffed little black and white kitten with patch marks.

What do I expect?
Books, lots of books. I like to write (whoo, surprised you right?) so I expect I got my giant thesaurus and etymology book. Prolly some games for the 360, and who knows- clothes maybe.
What did I give?
Music for my sister. No one else asked me to get them anything.  -=Wraith Squad=-TRP/LC Ron-Goron/3SQD/1PLT/1COMP/1BAT/Tadath/VEA |

I'm also looking for a Wacom tablet, as well as Wii-Fit.
I'm still trying to decide what to get my family, and time is running out >< Vast Imperial Stormtrooper Corps

I think I'll be getting an iPod and some shirts (Team Zissou).
And I'm super "chuffed" (wtf Ae?) about getting my family a 32" tv. Pat myself on the back for that one. PO2/FM Vasili "Decembrist" Rustam/RETIRED/STCR Doashim/Defensive Fleet/VEN/VE

This is a fun one and you will only get it where I am.
Al Qaeda gave our FOB(Forward Operating Base) 12 rocket attacks and I am not pulling anyone's chains they really did. I am not sure if it was a coincidence or what but on the twelfth day of christmas I got 12 rocket attacks. Jolly fun 
Anyway I hope everyone had a good christmas and a great New Year.

Got a nice $70 "sporty" jacket from Expressmen, and a $40 leather belt (also from Expressmen). :P
Godmother gave me a sweater and a green plaid button-up.
Those are the material things. I was blessed with meeting an amazing woman in late November, so I'm content with where I am. Prefect of the Army
