All the names have been changed in this one to the appropriate Username, Except for D for Doug, who REFUSED TO GIVE ME HIS NAME ANYWAY. This thing sucks anyway, but it's a week overdue and this is what's getting submitted.
Wicked E's Christmas Journalism report.
Sexy lingerie for the wife or girlfriend, toys and games for the children, and gadgets and gizmo’s for the teenager or husband; these are the signs that Christmas is here once again. A time to give gifts to those we love, but how much to spend on how many family members can be a fickle matter.
“I try not to spend over $10 or so, just because it’s my mom’s money I’m spending since I’m jobless right now,” said Bitch, a high school student shopping for gifts for her siblings at the Vacaville outlet stores. Another fellow, Drunken Squirrel, is splitting the costs of a laptop and camera with his mother to give to his brother’s family, an amount that goes up to $650 for the laptop and $200 to $300 for the camera.
“We’ll get those two big things and that’ll be it from us this year, and of course, I’ll get something for my baby niece just for her like a stuffed animal or something,” said Drunken Squirrel.
Other people, such as Doug Peuterschit who was shopping for his two little nieces, said they will spend no more than $22, but they prefer to get gifts rather than give and hang out with family.
“Hanging out with family usually corresponds with gift giving and getting, but all told I prefer the get-together. The gift-giving can easily become the focus of the season, and it's not often that the extended family gathers together, so it's nice. Plus, the limited duration allows for peaceful co-existence for a while, which helps improve relations among each individual family unit that make up the clan,” said Drunken Squirrel, with a CompUSA bag clutched in one hand.
