The deal concept is also done around here (as is stuff like magazine subscriptions).
I do not go looking though, not for any good reasons though just shear apathy regarding the whole thing.

This year though everyone but my little brothers will be nicely jet lagged though so I doubt I will be alone.

I never looked for mine, my friends showed me where their stuff was hidden but I always knew where mine was hidden so there was nothing spectacular about ruining the surprise. I just waited for the day to come is all.

Here's what my friend got one year, hidden in the trunk of a cadillac deville:

Sega Genesis
Sonic the Hedgehog
Columns

I forgot what else, sonic was the cream of the crop back then. That game was crazy fun. He got Sonic 2 the following christmas I think.

Yeah but things get confusing around the holidays. What are we exactly suppose to do? It is never explained. Celebrate Christ? Yeah but we can do that as well as other things. Priests have said to focus more on religion than anything else, but that is their job. We have family to focus on and other things too. And giving to the poor, sometimes you never know if what you are giving is getting into the hands of the middle class only. I make sure that I find someone in need before giving these days, and generally try not to give to someone who has an alcohol habit that is keeping them on the streets.

btw - bbq means be back quick but I always like bbq better
