I did call my 11 y/o brother yesterday and asked him what he wants for christmas, so I've got an answer there n now I just have to get my ass to town and get it, but I still haven't got any idea what to get the 13 y/o or the 10 y/o. I guess for the 13 y/o I could just get him a gift card or something because at that age they're so hard to get shit for anyway? Also I'm starting to have second thoughts on getting my 18 y/o brother a bottle of booze as a joke cos it may or may not ruin christmas for everyone when them parents find out about that But I figure he's 18 so he can legally go to the pub, right? Then what could it hurt if he has a bottle of booze? How many siblings do you have? For a 13 year old it all depends on whether they are a childish 13 or a more mature 13. A gift card is always a safe, if boring bet. I'm sorry if I am not very helpful, but unfortunately there is not much to get children.

MB. Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I solved the problem very easily. They get a WII U (we already have a ps4), cause I want to play Mario. Also ninetendo has more games for small kids, certainly for my daughters. So a WII U (bought it second hand) and some games. Some colorbooks, they also get a real book each and I am done. My kids are spoiled rotten, I admit. I decided a couple of years ago, to just buy one big gift for all for christmas. We already have another holiday on december 5th and they get toys than as well. Last year they got the ps4 for christmas, this year the WII U. Older kids like giftcards, there isn't much to give them after an certain age, they are most happy with cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 so i have this traditional annual Christmas Eve party for my relatives and friends ( my nephews who live close by and very close friends. ) i do a cocktail/hors d'oeuvres type thing. i provide two specialty drinks....one an apple cider spiked with rum and butterscotch schnapps kept warm in one of my slow cookers then a winding down drink...i call it the world's best cocoa! Godiva milk chocolate liqueur and irish cream. people who want more do the BYOB think and share with everyone. in fact we kind of have a contest on who makes the best cocktail...it's Christmas Eve so we generally call it a tie i serve everything from the semi-upscale sun dried tomato spread i make with basil, a great parm and pinenuts to frozen pizza rolls! and an assortment of spiced nuts and chips n dip to nibble on. for sweets i have 3-4 kinds of cookies, all kinds of candy- my homemade microwave pralines and fudge and store bought Lindor milk chocolate truffles. it's really fun. what do y'all do on Christmas Eve? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting really pissed off at my son, or worried about him, been trying to reach him since Wednesday to see if he got his Christmas packages I mailed him. Won't answer the phone or reply to texts. Either his bitch girlfriend has the phone or something's wrong. We are close so I don't get it. I saw she posted some crap on Facebook about having drama in your life... wtf??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was petrified in there, we went to a Chinese Buffet afterwards and I couldn't eat anything because of how they described cutting people's stomachs open and spilling their guts into a fire and then putting it in their mouths as they died.
