Jolly Ol' St. Laynie's Holiday Shopping Guide

This is an unsolicited blog, which I'm sure makes all of you cringe at what Jolly Ol' St. Laynie has come up with now...but do not fret. I would not jeopardize my place on the "Nice List" after spending most of my life on the "Naughty List".

First of all, my suggestions all have something in common. They're all things that I like and would like to get if the recipient of the gift would rather have something else (thus they could give the gift to me, and all will be jolly).

I think Lori would like a nice New York Yankees or Indianapolis Colts fleece throw blanket. Why do they call them throws? Who knows.

I'm pretty sure Kyle would like the first season of The Shield on dvd.

Tammy is beggin' for the Seinfeld dvd.

Cynthia really REALLY wants an XBOX with all of the Ghost Recon games, and both Splinter Cell games.

Katie, I'm sure, is pining for a vcr (okay, mine is broken).

Ammon has been beggin' for the Nirvana box set. Also, he would like the Cure box set with B-sides. Also, there is a really cool Cure dvd at Graywhale...ahem, at the north pole.

Mark, being the music kon-o-sur (I admit I don't know how to spell this...plus it's french so who really cares?) would like a Gibson Les Paul with Marshall amp stack....wait, he would want to keep that, so let's switch Katie and Marks' gifts.

Tyler, I know, would like a large Indianapolis Colts bean bag chair to sit on while he watches the Indianapolis Colts. Also, he would like the large Colts helmet that you put popcorn in.

Samantha would enjoy receiving the Star Wars dvd set...throw in a cool Darth Vader helmet.

Jesse has told me that she would like a New York Yankees style letterman jacket. Also, she would really like a Lou Gehrig jersey. the Pinstripes are preferrable, but she'll take the road grays too.

Thank you for your patronage, and I hope you all go out and purchase these gifts for one another.
