Mom:
-2 gallon cooking pot
-*A chip bowl with a little bowl in the middle for salsa

Mom's boyfriend:
-Pearl Harbor

Dad:
-Polar Express
-Catch Me If You Can
-*A vase with Greek motifs on the side
-A Coca-Cola glass

Dad's girlfriend:
-A picture of dad I made in Photography

Cousin David:
-Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for Gamecube

Fiancee:
-BBC's Chronicles of Narnia DVD box set

Yeah, I think that's everything. Oh, all the stuff that had a * beside it is special. See, that stuff was bought at the Art and Journalism Building's Annual Pottery Sale. It's all student made stuff and the money goes back to the artist that made it, which is really cool.

Does anyone really care who's giving what to whom for Christmas?

Just some DVDs and a stereo for my mom, an Xbox for my brother, and a Dreamcast for my sister.

Then I got my mother Twin Peaks DVD sets, because she loved the show and hasn't seen it in 15 years.
