Buffy Summers 8:50pm, December 17, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] Buffy: Joyce-- again anything Buffy could have afforded and procured that she was sure the kid wanted. The other little ones: Dr. Seuss sets for the four babies and my size barbies for the less small ones. Nadine gets a pair of designer boots (can you have enough?) Faith And Pete: Pete of course gets the cookies with the challenge card, but he also gets Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist on DVD. Faith gets Witchblade, THe Series Wes and Fred: Wes gets BBC's Merlin, Fred gets Star Trek Angel and Charlie: Angel gets Dark Shadows, the Original and Charlie gets Dynasty (escapism rules!)

Grievances: Angel 1. I was going to bitch about the handcream in the office bathroom, but I am ammending this to the new and improved... YOU WENT ON A JOB TO A VAMPIRE JUICING PLANT... HOW WAS NOT LETTING FAITH AND ME HANDLE THAT A GOOD IDEA!? 2. Oh, what the hell... You're dead, your skin is as moist as it'll ever get, and if you're using it for-- something else-- just don't. It'll make ceiling cat cry. 3. Your continued denial of my badassery is a continued source of sadness for me. I am such a badass. Grrr. 4. I'm going to revisit #1 again... because you hurt Charlie and dude, family man you're always on about that but you keep dropping the ball. Charlie: 1. I know he's your husband, but you need to tell us when he's going off to do something stupid, because that is my job-- to stop the stupid. Not infringing on your wife thing, because I stop all stupid, indescriminately. 2. I am so a good babysitter. I really am. 3. Dammit, you hooked me on the dried fruit. 4. Not so much a grievance, but I got turned around at your place once... and I swear I thought I saw a cat o nine tails sticking out of a closet and, well, be careful. I'm impressionable, you know. Spike: 1. Prolonged Disappearances are an epic EPIC fail. 2. When I find blood in my vodka... it is not 'all right' and just buying new vodka doesn't erase the ewww from that moment when I drink the blodka. 3. Laughing when I flinch at the 'power of cheese' commercials is the opposite of tact. 4. Giving Ed my cheese, while well-intentioned, resulted in the dreaded dog-gas-scent... Don't ever forget that. Ed & Joyce: 1. Joyce you'll read this one day and realize how much patience I have... Ed you'll never read this and never realize... But what will never change is that the things you find on the floor, outside bowls, ARE NOT FOOD. 2. Also not food: the couch, my makeup, rubber bits on practice weapons. 3. Manipulating the Slayerettes with big, cute eyes may work in the short run, you two, but in the long run it's going to bite you in the butt. 4. If you find body parts around the house... don't drag them into the living room! Faith, Anya, Fred, Wes, Willow, Shawn, Pete, Kelly, Connor, Markus: Faith: Please pick up your spent casings at the firing range... please? Anya: It's not my job to 'lop off some ears just in case' Pay me! Fred: I know I come in doing the Bond & Q thing too often... bitchslap me a little. Wes: You're smart... I get that. Quit with the down the nose looking when I ask questions. Willow: Sure you're a goddess, but we're still friends right? Last to hear about your honey? I'm damned insecure now girl! Shawn: Hit Angel already-- I'll teach you how! Pete: Ask Shawn about his... it'll foster unity and you have the same grievance. Kelly: Stop being so cute! You're making me crazy with the cute. (You know I'm joking right?) Connor: Even if you grew up all fast in an alternate dimension... the fact that I have an ex with a son with a family makes me feels so old. Do something horribly childish next year and help a woman out, huh? Markus: Where's my peace on earth? Didn't I ask for that last year? If no then this year, definitely.   Kelly Slater 9:30pm, December 17, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] Santa has left the following for Patrick: Tiny Love Super Deluxe Gymini with Lights and Music, Tiny Love Musical Stack and Play, Butterfly Rattle and Teether Toy Gift Set, Fisher Price Waterfall Soother, Tiny Love Clip and Go Mobile, Me in the Mirror toy, Sassy Welcome Baby Kit, Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Kick and Crawl, Boppy Prop Up Play Pad, Gymini Total Playground.

The first holiday giving gifts to the Serious Girlfriend's Best Friends-Slash-Fighting Buddies is unexpectededly nerve-wracking and basically giving me flashbacks to my MCATs, and I definitely didn't study this time around. Not that I studied then. It's like the weirdest form of holiday Rorschach. I even agonized a little over picking a card, because I didn't want to offend anyone by choosing Sexy Ms. Claus or Zombie Jesus. Who hates superhero Santa? Anyway, here's what I realized: this whole holiday hooha festivity isn't supposed to be about me and my burbling fount of insecurities. I'm the only one perpetuating the illusion that I'm a shrink 24/7. So, here is what I offer you good hard-working folk! It is not any deep and meaningful present that you will use every day, nor is it some bit of philosophical insight that will change your life. But it is this... I give you junk. It is junk with a purpose, but it is nothing you need. You spend 364 days a year (or 365, on a leap year) agonizing over what you need and what you need to do. So, here's just some crap for fun. Do with it what you will, or listen to the really cool and interesting noise it makes as it hits the bottom of the trash can through the mounds of wrapping paper there before it! Throw your hands in the air, and wave them like you just don't care. -- Your Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman Pete.

A lot of people have older siblings and older brothers, but I know for a fact not many of them have one like you. I owe you my existance. You've picked me up and dusted me off more times than I can count. You've protected me from all manner of boogie men, real and imaginary. I remember when I was very, very little and having nightmares about some tentacled monster in my closet. I don't know if you were just repeating a story you were told or you were just a genius, but after probably the seven hundredth time you came in at midnight to save me from SURE OCTO-DOOM, you left and came back with a bottle of Monster Spray. A few spritzes and that beast never bothered me again. I love you, Jon. You're a very rare hero in a scary, scary world. XOXO ~Rachel. Wrapped up in the middle of the kitchen table is a box with that monster spray bottle from years and years ago, replicated down to the diluted perfume. Jon'll need it back, to slay his kids' monsters, man!
