What do you want for Christmas?

[Bill HH]

After fourty years of dissapoinments at Christmas my wife and I have finaly cracked it, I buy something I really want, as does she. Then we say "Oh you have just bought me an electric whatsits name for Christmas" Its a win win situation, (And I get more expensive presents), We still buy little things so we have something to open on the day.
However this year will be very special, we are due to have our first granchild on the 13th Dec.

Mr.G's family have a 'no present' rule, which is much easier (then they usually break it by giving us money). I break it, by giving presents from the Dogs!

We exchange gifts with my Folks, but I'm trying to get them to stick to edibles, in an effort to stop wastage. (I hope that doesn't sound too ungrateful. )

I would like an orchard and a polytunnel or anything gardening related .....but I probably won't get it cos when I say I get told thats not a present ......So I'll just treat myself

I found this quotation by novelist and journalist Oren Arnold -

"Christmas gift suggestions:

To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect."

Sounds like a pretty good list to me

It's a strange one this year so only I understand what I mean when I say:
All I want for xmas is a safe journey to my new adventure. Nothing else matters.

Well after past failures, all I want for this Christmas is a happy one - and failing that one that gives me some good ideas for happiness in the New Year. Having said that I am convinced that the cat and the new puppy have some brilliant ideas between them.

If I could give you all a present it would be Happiness, Contentment and Good Health.
You'll find your present under the tree on Christmas day. Enjoy it

Nah - they don't know how to wrap "pressies"...........yet

[Sheneval]

BM that would be a poo.r surprise

[Jeanied]

Lol that reminds me of all the 'presents' I wrap up in the park in poo bags - two for every one my dog produces - but it creates a nicer environment for all of us I think.

[veggiechicken]

Blimey Jeanie - hope you're not doing Secret Santa this year

[Sheneval]

Jeanied - it's a hard job but somebody's got to do it

[RedThorn]

I know I am getting a garden shredder from my parents this year because I was asked what I wanted. My OH did observe that when I am asked what I want I always ask for something for garden, I tkink she is a little disappointed that I don't ask for clothes.
