I need somebody… Help! not just anybody… I NEED YOU!
When I was younger, so much younger than today… my parents bought me awful presents & still do it to this day!
There’s only one way to save me from receiving torturous gifts like the kind Eric has received; and that is to give my family a detailed list of what I really want for Christmas. That’s where you, my dear reader, come in.
Here’s how you can help me have a wonderful Christmas!!!! PLEASE TELL me, if you were stranded on an island with only a cd player and/or a dvd player, which music cd’s or movies would you want to have with you and why. I'll take every last one of your suggestions and will put it on my Xmas Wish List and will see what shows up under my tree Christmas morning!
I need you guys to suggest your choices in the comments ASAP as my family is going Christmas shopping for me this weekend and need my selections in their hands by tomorrow night. YIKES!
So please, PLEASE help me… don’t let me suffer the same cruel fate that Eric has fallen victim to!

Posted by: oddybobo at October 19, 2005 01:48 PMThe movie tickets suggestion was of course should you not be stranded on an Island and need ideas for gifts . . .
