What do you buy YOURSELF for Christmas?

[joeekaitis]

It all depends on the gift card haul . . .

Last year: Macy's gift card from Cathy's uncle Bob; bought a 6-quart pressure cooker.

Later, I found a Robinsons-May gift card from 2 Christmases ago, called the toll-free number and found out it's still good for the full value at Macy's; bought a 4- and 8-quart pressure cooker ensemble.

The difference between men and boys, as they say.

I bought myself a new Philips Philishave Arcitec RQ1095, expensive but well worth it.

It wasn't intended to be a Christmas present, but last month I bought myself a new car. I'd been wanting one for a while, and the timing was right, so I did it. So...Merry Christmas to me!

Something for sewing spandex

Already got the washer and dryer from Santa, so with luck a 5 thread serger that does a cover stitch. And I'm with you Carol, am looking at GPS as well. Thanks to Jason's link to that GPS site, it got me to this at Costco online a Garmin Nuvi 650. Nice big screen and it speaks the street names. The price isn't bad either. See if this link comes through.

I bought myself a Dyson slimline vac....its fun, reminds me of the vintage Airway uprights that were sold in the 30's.

Presents for me..

I think this year I am going to spend a few hours at the Ritz Carlton Spa getting spoiled and pampered. (LOL)

Massage, Men's Facial, Pedicure, Manicure..

My partner sent me there last Valentine's Day and it was pure HEAVEN!!

Shane, I bought a 2008 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD. It's kind of like the sedan equivalent to the XC70 Cross Country wagon. Hopefully we'll get some snow here this year so I can try out the all-wheel drive.

Your directions were great! Did you not get my e-mail? You were right about the address change; the house is now 108.

An Orgasm

You marry and old, disgusting rich man and you have him take you to a car dealership.
And you say "I can't decide between the Jag or the Mercedes" and he says "Take 'em both"!
You will have an orgasm like you never had before.

Jewish Christmas by Joan Rivers

"It sucks being a Jew during Christmas.
All we get is a lousy Menorah that some Puerto Rican lights the wrong way at Temple. Right to left going in, left to right being lit, Jose.
This year, I am going for broke on Christmas, Jew or not.
I'll have the tree, the decorations, even the manger scene.

My manger scene will be a little different: I'm Jewish, so the baby will have a Nanny figure.
Mary will be dressed in Chanel.
"Look good,Mary.
"Take off the schmata and pull your self together, you're the mother of G-d for Chrissake."

I bought some home theater stuff off of E-bay. I have that nice stack of Crown and QSC amps that I bought from Tower records when they went out of business last year, so I coupled them to a Lexicon DC-2 preamp/surround sound DSP I recently purchased off of Ebay. The Crestron screen you see on the coffee table there I got from a job I did at work ,but I didn't have a control processor, so that's an other Christmas purchase to myself. The system is now complete, and man does it sound good watching movies on my projector.

Now, I just gotta get the walls painted and hang the screen back up... it sucks watching pictures on bare plaster walls!

I'm going on my first cruise - on the Voyager of the Seas - at the end of January. I also bought two more of these:

I'm getting myself a tool box for my truck for Christmas. I already have the grill-guard, so I thought I would finish it up. Next year I may even turn completely to my redneck roots and have dual-exhaust (e.g. "Pipes") installed for a bit of noise.

Merry Christmas from Texas Y'all!

Ambulance/EMS charges, property tax, house and car insurance, yearly septic maintenance contract, and four car tires. Ain't that a blast, LOL!

 

[mattywashboy]

well i've just been in hospital for a third lot of surgery so since i have to spend a lot of time in bed recovering over christmas i have surrounded myself with a few comforts. I rearranged my room around and got a new television since the old one was broken, a few new boxsets of DVD's (such as On the Buses, Keeping Up Appearances and Doctor Who series three). Also an Ipod Nano as my old MP3 went a bit funny and conked out halfway through songs nearly everytime i used it. So yeah i dunno what i'm getting for xmas but will see, for now i'm happy tho - bit bored tho lol

Best Wishes to all in the Christmas Season
