What was the present you recycled?

I did that once, I had someone buy me a Lavender Bath Set and I don't like the smell of Lavender so recycled it the following year for a Secret Santa Gift [:p]

Think there's also some quite unchristmassy about a young lady with a branch stuck up her jacksy.

Christmas is for women, kids, gayers and people with kids. As I am none of those the whole thing is completely irrelevant for me.

It is just like a boring Sunday. A day to catch up on a bit of sleep. Nothing more nothing less.

The whole concept of a festive period completely passes me by. I doubt you would be able to tell it was Christmas in my house. I've always felt it was something you grow out of.

Here are my answers

1. When is your Christmas Party? Sat 3rd Dec

2. Have you seen any Decorations up yet in your Neighbourhood? No

3. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping Paper, More of a Personal Touch imo

4. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial

5. When do you put up the tree? 1st Dec

6. When do you take the tree down? 5th/6th Jan

7. Do you like eggnog? No

8. Favorite gift received as a child? Pony

9. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Battery Operated Shoe Polisher

10. Favorite Christmas Movie? Santa Claus the Movie

11. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Now Online, November High Street

12. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Yes,I had someone buy me a Lavender Bath Set and I don't like the smell of Lavender so recycled it the following year for a Secret Santa Gift

13. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Christmas Cake

14. Lights on Christmas? White, Coloured, None - White Lights

18. Do you take part in a secret santa? Yes, good fun

19. Have you ever had a white Christmas? Yes when I was little, can't remember the Year

20. Do you go to the pub on Christmas Day? No, Only the Men in the Family go, the Women stay behind and get dinner ready, sing, eat mince pies and drink sherry

21. Boxing Day with the Family or go to a Sporting Event? Have done Both but this Year maybe Kempton, depends on Weather

22. What is your best memory of Christmas? All the family going for a long walk after dinner to keep all the men awake where they drunk to much at the pub, then when we returned all the kids use to play games...we all grown up abit now [smiley:crazy]

Bah

8 my little or real ?

If you don't have kids what is the point?

Goodwill to all men even those at the GC

Read the facking instructions banks - just answer N/A to all of them... and cheer up you miserable fvcker! 

7. No but I have the hots for his sister Astrid

Even questions about Christmas get on my tits.

No more relevant than a rainy Sunday in January in my opinion. I have a genuine dislike of it. Christ even the racing is off more than it is on at that time. No problem if it is just a day but it dominates half the year.

Get the BHA to chuck in a couple of christmas day AW meetings plus a handful of football matches like there used to be and maybe an ODI in West Indies for the evening viewing and I might start accepting it.

I'm not really into the family stuff so it is pretty pointless. Might have to go to Ireland for the Lexus chase meeting to relieve the boredom. Fly out on xmas day ready for the boxing day start of the meeting sounds good.

Banks - One Simple solution.....
