I know, I got to start watching more movies and TV.<BR/><BR/>For the holidays, we just do one gift exchange between the four of us now for a few years and I remember when we first did that and added in more fun, such as watching some holiday shows and playing some board games. With my two children (young adults) and my hubby and I, playing scrabble, we would be laughing so hard because hubby would be cheating making up words and sometimes we'd challenge him and find out they were indeed words! That first Christmas we had to make some changes but we got so much more with the laughter, that we look forward to doing it again!<BR/><BR/>Don't put me in this contest since I have this book to read soon!Caffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830854922444380155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-81763290582659825242008-12-09T19:38:00.000-06:002008-12-09T19:38:00.000-06:00Snaps finger.

Otherwise he's easy with military or political books, nikon lenses or tools. Tools are always a good fallback. It doesn't matter how many they have, they want more. :)<BR/><BR/>RobinRobin Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765229264945106765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-79810976510593329312008-12-09T16:52:00.000-06:002008-12-09T16:52:00.000-06:00My family only buys for the children.My family only buys for the children.Estellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199693275287344161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-45676272954773859782008-12-09T16:30:00.000-06:002008-12-09T16:30:00.000-06:00My dad loved when get gave him the complete collec...My dad loved when get gave him the complete collection for M*A*S*H last year.

And it wasn't for Christmas! <BR/><BR/>Okay, so Christmas gift? I suck at buying him presents. I can't buy anything he'd really really want without making sure it was the right car part or the right vintage guitar. The toys he likes are very specific and you often can't take them back!<BR/><BR/>So, we mostly give each other "little nothings" like a CD or a new quilting ruler. Sounds boring but the risk is smaller and we can like our gifts! (g) We got out of the habit of big Christmas gifts a long tim ago. Thank goodness.

My brother is very easy to shop for because he loves music and movies. He is a musician so anything music related thrills him. Netflix gift certificates are nice too.<BR/><BR/>I've learned to not buy clothes, watches, or wallets for my dad, though. He never seems too enthused over those. The one thing he really enjoyed was one time I bought him tickets to some football games. He had never attended a professional sporting event in his life, so it was a new experience for him. He also likes tools.<BR/><BR/>My husband prefers electronics, but he seems to have everything so I'm at a loss what to give him most of the time. He probably appreciates gift certificates more than anything, so he can pick out his own gift.Lori Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339826879204785004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-15879481873251694472008-12-09T12:02:00.000-06:002008-12-09T12:02:00.000-06:00My hubby always orders his Christmas before Christ...My hubby always orders his Christmas before Christmas every year.
