What're you asking for for Christmas/holidays

Aside from "the bills to be paid" as everyone wants that, what are you asking for? 

 

What are you planning on giving loved ones, or special people? 

 

Personally I want a textbook on C#, Roadside Picnic, and a mechanical keyboard. 

 

 For my mom, she wants windows on her Mac, so I'll get her windows and install it for her on her computer. 

 

I saw a guy that made a video game my brother likes and I got I got it signed, so I'm giving my brother that signed game. 

 

For my dad, I may start writing a business program for him in Visual Basic, he's been asking me to try and write something for years but I didn't know how. I'm going to ask my teacher for some help. 

 

I know its early, but, you know how things run out of stock super quickly.

Probably just for money, that or an RX 560.

Well as for what I'm getting one loved one, well he's in the thread but I mean his guess is good as mine ;) 

 

Not much I really want that I'm not going to buy myself.

 

Anyways as far as other ideas what I'm giving to other people I don't know.

 

TL;DR

Spoiler

 

Frankly I really want much lol as a bit of a trade, I loaned my mom $75 to get a ton of golf balls to paint and then to sell so I'll just say she owes me like $35 or something like that. and the $113 I paid to keep the lights on, that's her birthday present I guess because that's also in december granted I benefit just as much from having the lights on that is something she normally pays I keep to what I can usually afford and that's my tuition for the distance high school I go to and the internet when I have more money in a month.  context: she lost her primary job because of reasons that I think given an appeal that she is working on, she could get that job back because the conditions surrounding that issue were out of nowhere and uncalled for considering that she had everything she needed.

For my wife I'm getting her a smart watch and completing the restoration on her 63 VW Bug. 

 

For my 4 year old son, a bunch of Thomas train stuff and hot wheels stuff. Also a new tablet for him. 

 

For my new born daughter (will be born November 14) most likely clothes and food. 

 

For basically the rest of the family (wife's side as I don't really have a family) no idea. My wife took care of it. 

 

As for what I want....no idea. I never really celebrated Christmas as I'm from a really broken family.

I'm asking for $1M USD.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.
