What's for Christmas?
So what did everyone put on their Christmas list this year? What do you think you're getting?
I actually (with some accidental snooping) know what I'm getting. Two 12" MTX Thunder 4500 subwoofers and this Kicker amp that pushes 300 watts RMS at 2 ohms. I'm also sure that this is ALL I'm getting from the fam anyways. It's also all I asked for, it's all I could think of that I wanted. I have a policy of only asking for things I want not things I need for Christmas. I could ask for something I needed like paying to get my car registered, but that's not gonna leave any lasting memories will it? What will leaving lasting memories is all the great times I'm going have bumping ridiculously, annoyingly loud bass in my car.

Go read "Ishmael" a novel by Daniel Quinn. It will literally change your life.

I put Call of Duty 4, Nintendo Wii (Still hard to get apparently), and Nintendo DS but I really hope I get that for my B-day cuz that's smaller haha. I'm really hoping for the Wii right now but CoD 4 would also satisfy me haha. It is so tight. I have the demo and it is pretty intense.
Otherwise, no clue what I'm getting this year.

My Christmas list consists of basically all household items (or money/giftcards for them) so that when I move out of the place I am living in now (my roommates own everything) I will have things like plates, cups, and maybe a bed to sleep on.
Oh and the complete Firefly series on DVD. (My roommates own that too. )

My want list: case of Ensure, case of Depends, case of Ms. Clairol, lifetime prescription of Prozac
My wish list: winning Lotto ticket (not a scratcher ... I mean the BIG bux), nip/tuck anything not in the place it was in pre-children (which is just about everything at the moment), new car (Jag, 1963 Chevy Impala, or cool little Mercedes would do nicely)
What I'll probably get: new set of pots and pans (can do some damage with those!), new jeans (old ones make me look like a plumber in training), new walkers (shoes NOT the aluminum thing), coal

Actually ... sorry about the boo boo. Maybe a box of band aids should go on the list too.
I've added books (actually the hardcover set of The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Simarillion, etc.) to my list (ty for the idea Kevin), the 3rd season DVD of "House", and a new monitor (this one is a 17" but has to be about 45" deep - I want a flat screen!).

In Vietnam, Christmas is celebrated and Christmas carols are allowed to be sung in public school classrooms (you can even sing the really Christian ones and no one gets upset). You can have a Christmas tree and a Nativity scene in your classroom.
But Christmas and New Year's are not holidays. I will be working on December 25, and then I am on leave for five days from Le Quy Don Senior High (where I teach on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning). I will be working my normal two classes a day (three hours each) at Long An University on Monday and Friday.
The students, who also go to school for half of Saturday every week, will not be off until Tet (same as Chinese New Year) which this year is during the end of January and beginning of February. Since I am off from LQD on New Year's Day (and the two days following), I plan to watch the Rose Parade on the KTLA website, which starts at 11:00 PM local time, here. I missed it last year because I didn't have Internet in my house and the Internet parlors closed at 11.

Check out the Kiwanis float ... my daughter and I are the detail decorators on that one (this is the 3rd year on Kiwanis; we did Home Depot, Roto Rooter, Las Vegas Centennial, and Honda in previous years). Very little in the way of floral arrangements on Kiwanis this year ... so it more than likely will not be seeing any awards, but that's cool so long as it doesn't rain on our work like 2 years ago.LoyalTubist wrote: Since I am off from LQD on New Year's Day (and the two days following), I plan to watch the Rose Parade on the KTLA website, which starts at 11:00 PM local time, here.
