Yes, folks, stressmas is upon us once more, as it makes its yearly appearance. We're so worried about our gift lists, and how much money we're going to go over on this year. So are you one of those people that have loved ones to buy for, and yet, you have no idea what to buy for them yet?

Well have I got the perfect product for you!

The new McDonalds arch-card is now available at most participating McDonalds locations! These new cards have all the convience of gift certificate, packed away into a barcode of a card that can be used at any participating McDonalds, by simply swiping it through the card reader. Now instead of keeping track of those bothersome gift certificates, you can focus more on what really counts this holiday season. Family. And your family sure will thank you when they take a bite out of that Grilled Chicken Ranch BLT, and know that it was packed with just a little bit of your love.

McDonalds loves Tex Murphy. And we hope to see you people of the board in our establishment for many years to come. We're convienent. We're fast. We're affordable. And all the while, we're loving it!

Just do what I do. Buy either A) a dvd or B) a cd.

All you need to know is their taste in movies or music, and you're set. And it's such a great and affordable gift too. Stories and music add to our life, and it's a gift that... oh god... I'm actually gonna use this phrase...

...keeps on giving :P

But what if they already have the movie or CD you give them?

Wow! A pre-approved McDonalds Credit Card addressed to the previous owner, just has to be signed, stamped and mailed
To think of all the free Fax machines I can rip off..

Also kids, check the interest rates - Don't end up like Tex :D

Just popped to wish everyone a Merry Christmas too even though it's a week away - but then one can't blaim me for not doing it in time ;)

Fred: I guess you and I share the same kind of thinking as for buying presents. I also think that buying movies or music is a great gift at an affordable price and I have also bought a few for the family this year.

Well i also am wiching everyone a grand TeXMass and a Lucky New Year.

me and the alraidy gave one another gifts seeing as we dont want to have a gift giving parade we decided just to give one another something we can realy use. So i gave the wife that bottel of parfume Escade into the bleu bottle she wanted and she gave me 1024 megs of ram for my DELL pc.

Man what a ripp of just becouse its a DELL u have to spen twice as muth on kingston memory or u lose your warenty. more then 200 euro aprox 250 US while u can just get the same kingston memory for 120 euro or so but thats the wrong parts number acording to techsupport of DELL

Anyways the real reason for not doing a big cristmas party is the fridgefreeser broke a few weeks ago and well need the money to get a new on in january. Man what a hastle not having a fridge freeser.

In any case best wiches to all and a grand new year.

PS usualy i try to find a gift thats somewhat diferent and nice.
Last year i gave the wife a book i ordred of internet its a excisting story but u can enter the name of yourself and a loved one into the story and u can select the car u want to drive. In my case i choise a detective story
me as the detective and my wife as the lade acused of the murder.
The books are one offs so u can only order them online and there prited with your persenal mesages inside.

the site also has cookbooks u can add names too and love stories and so on. realy loved it and not even that expensive

I usually just give my family a list or generally tell them what I'd like and they can do the same vice versa. :D Mostly I'm getting DVD boxsets of old classic series like Fraggle Rock :)
