I'm going to add an anger management course to the list of gifts I'm getting Si for Christmas.

[pookie]

and a bra?

He's 31.

An old man.

I know what I'm getting for Christmas, and it's exactly what I wanted. I'm looking forward to trying it out on December 27th in about 20m of water.

So, no signs of grumpyness here.

Yeah, my birthdays just fade into nothing these days.

As an Atheist Vicar I can quite often be found celebrating just having a day with the wife, any excuse to have a day with her is a plus really.

Do I want presents from my ingrate relatives who buy me tat, but expect gold plated hens teeth in return? No I don't. Quite frankly I resent them spending money on tat in ASDA that I then have to pay a man to collect in a van and bury in landfill. One of my relatives knits... I cannot begin to express the horror I feel when she knits me motorcycle gear! Scarves that can decapitate due to having "pretty" metallic fibres in them, gloves that have patterned holes in them and are so bulky they wont fit inside real gloves or over them! The answer is simple, but they only did it to me once. When my mother asked me what I wanted as a gift, I asked her to give money to a charity I support. Now that is a thoughtful gift. It also means less landfill tat to get rid of.

I don't want a present.........purely because I don't want to have to return the gesture.

Simple as that really

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That's my logic too. I don't like feeling compelled to return a gesture. Luckily I am enough of a ******* to overcome that compulsion and just not return the gesture .... as LPH has been made well aware of! (Thanks though Clare! )

I'm not having an anti-xmas humbug old man rant. I'm looking forward to visiting my rents, chilling out with some beers and spending time with them and the mrs, eating far too much and generally having a nice family time. And yeah, I'll enjoy giving the gifts I've bought and receiving too ... but the gifts that I've had to place my order for will not mean very much to me, because at the end of the day they're just no more than pocket money and 5 minutes on Amazon.

Christmas is about turkey, cider, lager, wine, sherry and port, and ...
