Is Christmas worth it?

[derdle]

We don't buy presents for each other either...just feed the cash into the holiday fund. That way we can be sure of a decent break.

As for presents for friends and family - we buy them something from the Oxfam Unwrapped catalogue/on-line shop so the money goes to charity. Let's face it, most of us have got nearly everything we want and the stuff we do want (remaps, millteks etc) our friends can't or won't buy for us anyway so the money may as well go to a good cause. All our Christmas shopping done in under an hour from the comfort of the sofa with some grub and wine....couldn't be easier. I'm not religious at all, but the true spirit of Christmas has long been overtaken by the bloody shops.

I realise this idea won't benefit those with kids to think about..but for the rest of us I can highly recommend it. My memories of Christmas 2007 are not turkey sandwiches and the Boxing Day James Bond movie but visiting the Valley of The Kings etc.

Top BOD, you can organise my Christmas next year and if you can put up with the wife for more than the day you can keep her too!

[S4TAN]

Nah - not my scene man. I know you're in the market for that sort of thing though woody - perhaps Varsity can put a word in? Paz is obviously into the "larger" gentleman ... so you should be in with a good chance ...

[s4woody]

"larger" gentleman

[S4TAN]

Dude, seriously though; if you're dick is like a "big nail" then you need to get to the doctors mate - the women don't like the long thin sharp ones ...
