I think it's awesome your dad's getting you a new computer :) I agree, it's cheaper now than for Christmas but then again you could probably get a good deal but you'd have to look around and sometimes that's a pain in the ass LOL.

I hate when someone makes promises like it seems your brother in law did and not go thru with it, At least your mom will have a "new" computer when she gets yours!

I love Christmas time and not for religion reasons either, I love seeing all the houses decked out in decorations and stuff. I love going to NYC it's awesome there around the holidays :)
