lol I'm in the same boat
The only thing I've bought is a sweater for my mom
I'd love to do more but have no idea what else to get anyone else
Probably just end up getting gift cards for them so they can just get what they want.

My husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas... This is what I said.

I want one day where I get to be waited on hand and foot... where he will feed the dogs, bring me coffee from Starbucks, do the housework, cooking, etc. so I can watch TV all day or stay in bed or whatever I want to do.... just for one day. :D

I never know what to get anyone in my family as I'm not the creative type and the males in my family buy what they want when they think they need it, which leaves nothing to get them (that I can afford anyway) for Christmas.  I basically ask everyone what they want and sigh heavily when they say nothing.  :-\\

I'm hitting radio shack for the $30 worth of iTunes gift cards for $25. I might even put some in my own stocking  ::)

A better paying, steady job, or at least another way I can make a couple thousand bucks. And a way to get across the country. Not necesarilly right now, but before the '10s start, which is just a little over two years away. :)

Well see, my parents own the condo...actually, my brother does, but my parents footed the down payment and my father is the co-signer.  So they have every right (however unfortunate :( ) to come visit at whim.  Probably going to tell me how much I suck too.

We can only hope they decide to stay in California then. If they came during the holidays, I might have to conveniently break my leg or something and stay in hospital.

I'm sorry, I just don't think it's cool. This was supposed to be our first Christmas by ourselves since we couldn't make it to California. I daresay they don't really want to see us and just want to see what we did to their precious investment. ::)

So apparently the Secret does work... imagine it and it will happen  Ah the power of positive thinking!  Congrats to you & now you can truly have a merry holiday...unless-

They aren't sick enough to tell you they are doing one thing and then will show up on your doorstep to "surprise" you are they?  :-\\

Nah, they're not impulsive like that. :D

So THAT'S what the secret is! I always see that book around and I was wondering what it was about!

I love Oprah... Dear Oprah can I have a house?

but the worst thing she did was promote the secret.... Its not that I don't believe in the power of positive thinking its just that all these people are now sitting around at home waiting for things to happen (what happened to working for it?)

Ugh-  plus they advertise in a way that's all about materialism and possessions... Oprah herself said she didn't start a school in the US because when she goes to high schools & asks american kids what they want its always iPods, laptops, cars and video games... go to Africa and all the kids want is education. then she goes and promotes a book about getting what you want especially the materialistic crap UGH!  >:(
