I can’t remember every Forum member, or I don’t know enough about that person to give the right gift. So please forgive me, but you have been spared! I’ll give general gifts that will be just at tasteful at the end of the list.
<ul><li>A Tarzan thong for Gavin, because he loves to charm the ladies during the jolly season. It is time to renew the old thong.
</li><li> Two miracle-massage hands for Richard who needs to relax every so often; I hope he’ll compliment me every day after that.
</li><li>A US VISA, and a first-class plane ticket plus champagne for Paul’s cats.
</li><li> A Sex Tantra book for Mark, I think you had a girlfriend. She’ll thank me for this and so will you, believe me women know what women want—then again boys like sex too!
</li><li>An inflatable lifesaver with all the code and design answers written on it for Aaron (Forwardtrends). He’ll jump on it, out to sea he goes, floating, floating to a dream Cruise trip. The inflatable donut of answers will float back to the real world, and solve all work related problems for a year without his physical presence. You’ll be able to take a long awaited break, because you are famous for being the “one-man-show”, and no one will notice that you are out of the office with this gift. You can still keep your title when you go back to work.
</li><li> A Magician’s cape for Prodigal Sister (Julia) who by now should be officialized as the forum Administrator’s vanishing act.
</li><li> A free set of fonts for Sunderpig, since they are free they must be horrible. But you’ll laugh about it because you have something to unwrap at Christmas.
</li><li> For everyone else. I think if we pitch in, we’ll get some external hard-disks to back up everything on each of our computers. Because most of you have computers and backups, but keep it all in the same room or house or office. What if you get robbed or have a fire? You need a backup that can be kept out of your computer area. You’ll thank me, I know you will.
</li><li>I’ll also pitch in with some Ipod batteries, because we’re all having problems recharging the damn thing. Even without using it, the battery goes out. An amazing invention that we’d like to keep active for two days.
</li><li> For New Year, we’ll break out the cheapest bubbly champagne and act like we’re rich like Bill Gate and enjoy Paul Allen’s yacht.

Enjoy the holidays. And remember to find happiness within the details of your lives. Work and paying the bills are required, but making time for our friends and family and ALSO for yourself is just as important. We have one lifetime, so make the best of it. Unless you are an Egyptian, and think we have more lifetimes, than do everything in duplicate...that is fine too. Just let me know if there is more than one life time, and then I’ll make some more mistakes since I can correct it afterwards.
