    Hmmm short on money ... well your sis and family are in Oz it's summer maybe summer clothes you can buy in the sales ... they're light for posting too.

    Saving money ... if you're buying for both members of a couple maybe buy them a joint present?

    A game that can be played on Christmas day for someone is usually good. One Christmas we were all told we had to bring a game and I went with this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hasbro-42383-Bop-It-Extreme/dp/B0006GWQ2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=kids&qid=1228404987&sr=1-1 ... easy, great fun for everyone ... induces swearing in the drunk :D

    Always find making a list before I hit the shops helps.

    I love brainstorming for presents if you want any help just let me know.
    :D You're such a superstar... again!

    I WAS trying to decide if I should get something (for my sister) for the family or just for the kids. She told me to get nothing but obviously I can't do that. I'm just drawing a serious blank on everything this year! Apparently the boyfriend's getting me something GREAT according to the sister... so now I'm feeling the pressure :D . Jody's gonna be the easiest to buy for cos I'll just get her something I want and she'll love it :D . Everyone else, I'm fucked.

    thank you :) I don't think the drinking will be a problem... they all like a few drinks. The mother finds herself explaining to ME that she's not an alcoholic cos she has a glass of wine for lunch when we go out :D so she obviously thinks I'm not a big drinker lol. I've seen the dad drunk, the sister and I get drunk together a lot and my boyfriend has been known to actually get drunker than me :eek: . As long as his sisters boyfriend doesn't take out his new truth or dare game, I should be fine :o


    now i'm not a betting man.. but i bet you have a good time this year...


    p.s. anyone know what won the 3.40pm at Newmarket?
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Same here, except its this year for me.
    I feel for you then. I was really miserable because a relationship that meant very much to me ended around thanksgiving....someone I cared for very much and she was going through a lot of hard times and it killed me that I, first of all, couldn't be there for her and, secondly, that I couldn't share those holiday moments with that person. I'm glad to say though that we worked it all out a couple of months later and are closer than ever now. One of those don't know what you got til its gone kinda things.
    Hopefully your situation will work out as well!
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    haven't been a big fan of it the last few years...can't see this year being any different. too commercial, too much nonsense with having to be here, there and everywhere. having to exchange gifts with people who don't really give a toss about you the rest of the year blows too. maybe next year I'll be more Christmassy, who knows :)

    Santa. I love getting presents and stealing other people's presents. I love getting loaded on rum and nog and chasing carolers off my lawn with a shotgun. Driving drunk and crashing my truck into my neighbor's snowman. I love the holidays! C'mon folks, rock with me now!

    for me i tend to dislike christmas more and more each year. and this year, since things have been so rough, i really am not into it AT ALL. and it sucks cuz my girlfriend is such a big fan of it. she's been listening to christmas music for weeks! oh well.

    yeah, what better way to celebrate a religious holiday than with a month of frenzied consumerism?

    I don't care about this holiday or any others really. I do not enjoy family gatherings, or parties, I would much rather spend that time doing things I enjoy doing. I don't get why people need christmas as an excuse to get together. I do put on a happy face for christmas morning to keep my mom happy, but over the past 5 years or so christmas has lost all meaning.
