What should I buy for Christmas?

That is the ultimate question, isn't it? What should I buy for my sister? What should I buy for my parents? Should I send gifts to my friends? I think there are some criterias that I can go through below.
This gift must be useful. I don't want to send a gift to other people that they will just leave standing in a corner and collecting dust. I want them to be able to use it and enjoy it.
The gift must make the recipent happy. That's the point of send other people gift, isn't it? If it cannot make the other's life better and make the recipent happy, then there's no point sending the gift.
I am still no where near deciding what to send to my sisters and my parents. Guess I will just have to go to the shopping mall and get some ideas there. Good luck to all the other shoppers.

BBQ

I finished reading The Mummy Case by Elizabeth Peters. It is an interesting novel. It had been raining on and off this week. Just hope that the sun will come out and stay out for us.
In the weekend, I have been invited to a BBQ at my workmate's house. We get to see his new baby. He is very cute and quiet. We talk about trademe, how convenient it is from my workmate's own experience. We also talked about the upcoming U2 concert. The ticket is on sale this morning. Hope the people who didn't get the ticket for the last concert will be able to get ticket this time. However, I am not too worried because I am not such a big fan of U2. I am more than happy just listening to their songs on the radio. It is good enough for me. Honestly speaking, I don't think I will ever be tempted to go to a concert at all. I am more inclined to go to classical music concert, though.
Feeling very full after the BBQ. It is very good to relax in the weekend. Received an e-mail from friend who is studying in Scotland. She has her Christmas and New Year all planned out. Wish that she is having a nice time there. Lucky her, she has seen her first snow there already.
Mum will send a Christmas card to aunt. We have not heard from her for a long time. Wish everyone have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
