CHRISTMAS THREAD: What are you getting your partner/kids for Christmas?

[Starry]

We don't usually go so overboard, but this Christmas is pretty special for us and we wanted to make it something the children would remember.

All three have a furby and a new pjamas set and bedding set.

I've got my son a Hornby Premier Orient Express train set for his main Santa present. He has a psp and games, some books, a couple DVDs, some Sudko books, Floam, Cds for his stocking.

My middle daughter has a few board games - The Tooth Fairy, a Yano interactive puppy and the same thing IRV robot or whatever. Lots of girly hair ties, pink stuff, bath lights etc for her stocking, a pink cd player for her room, a lava lamp.

My youngest daughter has Disney Princess pop up castle, lots of new dollies, some fibre optic lights and a lava lamp and lots of dvds, new clothes, lots of dressing up outfits, a pink cd player for her bedroom

My husband has a new TV. Flat screen too big to even watch something or other hang it on the wall jobby, he's been harping on about it for ages and had book marked the one he wants on his laptop so I went ahead and ordered it for delivery and installtion while he is at work on Christmas eve. He has a stocking of all the usual socks, smellies, cds etc from the kids.

Junior - some X box games and a few other odds and ends.

Mini - Gameboy games, DVDs and some books

The above smilies are lol smilies.
On Ned's pc they show up as angry smilies.

What do others view them as?

[Yorkie]

It's Ned!!

His smilies are all out of order.
He has angry at the far right of the third row, drinking at the far left of the 4th row and two cools next to each other. The wink is missing altogether.
