X-mas 2011

[FN Phat]

Let's talk office X-mas parties. What is everyone doing this year? Any good ideas to pass along?

last year we did a casino night. It was a big hit. I'd rather not do the same thing two years in a row.

We are having ours on a casino that is on a barge on the Ohio River.

We're having ours tomorrow night at Tabu at MGM. Not sure what to expect. Apparently I get free admittance to the club when it opens to the public at 10:00 p.m. I don't expect I'll be taking them up on that offer.

"Mama, what are you doing in the dark downstairs?"

I bought 2 of these infrared night vision goggles/video camera for christmas presents for the boys, and couldn't resist taking one out and "testing" it. I was in the middle of stalking the family dog in pitch black darkness (hey! it works!) when I almost got busted by a giftee.

Those goggles would go perfectly with my butterfly collection.

The Killers have a new Christmas EP that I don't care for and She & Him have a new Christmas album which I quite like, FYI. Since I know some of you swing this way, Justin Bieber also has one that I have not listened to.

The muppet dolls arrived. Very awesome. Recommend for kids that love muppets.

I bought the Mrs. some Miu Miu mary janes on Saturday that she's going to love. Hope she's not reading this thread because I don't want to ruin the suprise!

I had to Google that.

Wow.

Do those have cats on them? lol.

Don't worry, I got them on sale. Not all of us are as money bags as Art and can buy these things at full price!

speaking of this....online banking and credit card statements have made X-mas shopping for the spouse a bit trickier. They basically can see right away what you have purchased for them. To avoid this issue, I am not buying anything for MMM.

We have an agreement that we don't check transactions during the Xmas season.

I was laughing because I thought you had some kind of barter system in your household when it came to shoes.

It indeed has. The last two years I've had to work around our bank account so the Mrs. didn't see. :devil:

We made an agreement to not get anything for each other this year. Problem solved.
