Hi everyone, 

 

A big part of Christmas time is giving and receiving gifts. Whether its something extravagant and expensive or something with more of a personal touch it can be tricky picking the perfect gift that your confident the recipient will be happy with.

I make mental notes of stuff my wife mentions when we're out shopping from October onwards.  Hopefully I then build up enough ideas for her birthday in November and Christmas rofl

Thanks

I'm not usually in particularly good health at Christmastime = dunno why? ... I commiserate sincerely with those members who are sad at this time of year - I think of my dad, now no longer with us slight_frown

I don't expect any Christmas presents ... my son & his wife usually send me a very nice card which I keep

My mum has asked me to buy Strictly Come Dancing annual santa as has now become a tradition, mum will give me some money for it - it's just easier all round if I buy the book online

Do you treat yourself at Christmastime?

This is my Christmas present to myself

Thank you @blissgirl ... sorry you're not allolwed to get your nails done again

Is there a reason you can let us know about why you're not allowed to get your nails done again?

Not often I disagree with you @Anonymous but that's a bit harsh?

She took an overdraft to attend a family funeral in the US (or so she says)

However, luckily for them, they have now received an inheritance (probably from the person whose funeral they attended) so they have paid off the debt and can now buy family presents....thumbsup

The point is.. she was still worrying about presents when she had debt to contend with. Why? Was the world going to end if hubby didn't get a present? Or if the family took a day trip to the beach?

 

People so obsessed with giving, and needing to or feeling the need to..

 

Get a grip!
