Just received a Christmas present from my elderly next-door neighbour: Modern Warfare 3 on XBOX 360. I don't have an XBOX but she enclosed a receipt so I could change it if I wanted to. Was a very nice thought but I do feel very sorry for her - the clerks in the store she b*ght it from probably guided her to it as it was one of the most expensive things there. And it was expensive, especially for a next-door neighbour present. Bless her heart.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

Hum... how short are we talking about? I can send Elmo instead of me. He'd love that. He's small, lovely, always in a good mood, and really creative. I'll send a letter to Santa to discuss this :xmas:

Wow! It does seem a little over the top for a neighbour's present.
I assume you must help her in some way for her to spend that amount of money?
If so, then accept with good grace and take it to shop and change for appropriate games system.

That seems to be a very reasonable list . . . . :xmas: might not be able to get them all but at least you've been generous in wanting things for other people as well! o/
