Christmas shopping

so Today is the 9th of December 2010 and it's the 30th Anniversary of the world finding out about the death of John Lennon. Oddly it was just 9 years ago last week that George Harrison passed away from cancer. Hard to think of the world with only half the Beatles around but such is life that the Monkees out lived them all. Just Imagine.
With two weeks until Christmas I have done none of the real shopping for presents yet. With Mark and U.S. Black Friday we got MASH the complete series on DVD for him, North & South the Compete collected mini-series for him, The Wizard Of Oz Blu-Ray DVD for him, The Princess Bride for Mary Anne, The Flash the complete series for Paul, Ten Speed & Brown Shoe the complete series for me, Red Dwarf the almost complete series for me, Office Space DVD for him, and the House Of Cards trilogy DVD for Mum, and the best John Wayne films of WWII for Dad. What I need to do is get some clothes for the good people like Mary Anne, Mum, Paul, Dad, Mark, and myself. I can try Wal-Mart for Mark and Dad but Mum is wider than Dad and I am never sure of Paul or Mary Anne. For the past two year's Mary Anne has sent back clothes that were Medium, and Large so I need to get it right this year. I think I can get her a couple of T-Shirts at the CBC Store at CBC headquarters with Coronation Street on them. Something she and her mum like and unique enough to be special for the holiday. Paul will be either XXL or XL but the trick will be to get him a jacket or shirt that he can wear every day to work. So I can get him something at Mark's Work Wear House same for Dad and possibly Mark. Mum get's her stuff from Pennington's so either a Gift Certificate or underwear or another blouse she will rarely wear. Socks are good for Mark and they can be cheap at Wal-Mart. Mark has been pretty good so I will try to get him a game at EB GameSpot they have some they use as bait in their bargain bins. With that in mind I will be very busy for the next few weeks so to all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
P.S. Sometime in the new year I will talk of the Police coming to visit.
