What you lot hoping to get for Christmas? Well, this old fart, has asked for some new Pukka Cycling Gloves - a new pair of Grip-Grab cycling overshoes; and a new front light for the bike! I live in hope.

Bought all gifts for others; Wife - Daughter - Son-in-law. Got something for the Neighbors; and a bottle for the post-man. Need to get something for the church; they normally collect gifts for the homeless; and families who may struggle to make ends meet at this time of year.

Anyhow, would be interesting to find out what you want? or asked Santa for this coming Christmas?

Seasons Greetings to Everyone - HAPPY CHRISTMAS
 

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.

... and a new left kidney, and toenails and ear-hairs that don't grow, and 10 pounds less around the belly, and 24" biceps, and ...
 
Seems this thread has turned in-to a GP's Surgery? Afraid Santa cannot help you guys; he creates magic; not miracles.
 
Meanwhile.... back at the, "what do ya want for Christmas" topic.

Bah, Humbug I say !.... it's all geared for the shops to make money ! They don't care about the true meaning of Christmas, they just want your money.





For me, it's Peace on Earth & Goodwill to all !

....... and a wee tot of whiskey !
 
I have a short list of things I wanted but have been notified Christmas has been put on hold this year. No gifts, no Christmas Tree, no decorations, nada. We don't send cards, therefore we get none. Well we did get one, from a nephew and niece in law, but they didn't remember our name and put someone else name. The card shows a large house with nephew and his two kids standing in front, all have guns pointing at us. The caption is: We've got you covered this Christmas. Well, They say it is the thought that counts.
 
I agree Drifter. I'm beginning to question why I send Christmas cards at all.... most of them go to people or distant relatives that we never speak to, never phone or write to each other, and now I'm wondering... do they really care at all ?

What gets me is the all to familiar comment on the card... "we'll have to catch up soon".

Yeah right !.... and pigs will fly !

hmm ! ....... yep !... I reckon I'm becoming bitter, twisted & cynical !

Well it's about bloody time Tezza! I thought I was wasting my time leading you astray all these years.

Drifter, any way you could forward a copy of that card to Warrigal? I would sooo love to send her one like that ... but she'd probably only laugh.


I've finally drawn a line through the Xmas mailing list this year. Only a few people left alive to send one to and all but 2 are in contact via email anyway. One of those others was a workmate and we essentially spent our latter years playing political oneupmanship office games and I have no idea why she sends me cards and even less idea why I returned them. Time to let her think she's outlived me I think.

The last one was also a former workmate/friend/travel companion whom I've neither seen nor even spoken with since 1971 !
We have though tracked each other's lives through Xmas cards every year since. Hers in a few short sentences, mine of course more wordy, but it's a kind of tradition now that I may choose not to break. Maybe I will stretch to that one card this year after all, just to keep it going. :)

Terra you aren't it is just that we remember how nice it used to be at christmas, no greedy shops all the kids were happy with $2 toys and we all enjoyed having the family for dinner, there wasn't the pressure to spend loads of dollars on gifts like there is today, i bet if you gave your child a cheap toy he would say WTF. My daughter has stopped giving gifts to all and sundry as it has got so expensive and if you give a cheap one you are the worst in the world.
