[The Human Santapede]

And probably only a few weeks until shops stock Christmas stuff. :laugh:

Will have to get my shoplifting game on :fan:

Seriously though I was on a Zoom call today with the American rellies and we were talking about Christmas stock coming in soon and they were moaning that Christmas overtakes Thanksgiving

[The Human Santapede]

Ooh are you taking requests?

America will be thinking of Christmas already because tariffs mean there will be much less supply this year, so they have to think about it now

I have a Christmas dilemma. I have a 16 year old niece and want to get her something that will knock her bandy, to quote Dell Boy. But I'm not up on what 16 year olds covet. I usually get her a bag, so, not another bag. She has all kinds if tech and all the extras, ear buds, projector etc. etc... Does anyone have a super suggestion?

[Ammi]

…I would say maybe more an experience gift…a theatre trip, music event or sporting event, a meal at her favourite restaurant/cinema visit etc…wonderful experiences/memories are always more treasured than ‘stuff’ I always feel…

[Vicky.]

...bugger off :bored:

…well it was just some possible suggestions, no one has to pay attention to my suggestions but…./…how rude…

[Ammi]

…I have a Christmas dilemma as well…as I’ll be overseas for Christmas this year and all of the gifts have to fit easily into a suitcase with the luggage allowances and available space etc…very small/very lightweight/very flat gifts…?…

…I’m so lazy and not into it and I have so much to do this year…one of my sons said that all he wanted was his n hers Mom, I Want to Hear Your Story/Dad, I Want to Hear Your Story journals….and I have bought the journals but mine is still un-opened and I think there might be around 500 questions or something…/…so possibly a long write….I don’t know why he didn’t just ask for after shave or boxer shorts or something…anyways, two months-ish to complete it…

Had you told me much sooner I could have made it one of the Task Master tasks for the players to do it for you.

…I’d like to say that I’d written 56 words or answered 56 questions in my story journal…but it’s still completely empty…

…so, it’s not empty anymore…yesterday I started to write it…/…to answer the ‘life journey’ questions …I’m doing it in pencil first just to keep in neat/and going over in pen later so obviously quite a long task…I knew that it would be long and I needed to start it and stop being so lazy etc…but what I didn’t realise/and already after just beginning it…is how emotional it would be to consciously walk though your life in this way…its really quite wow and evoking so much emotion…/…not just of days gone by but of people gone by…

….I’m guessing that was his intention in asking us to do these journals…

I have 2 more birthdays before I can start panicking abou Christmas. My niece will be 17 and my daughter 5. I am well into my Christmas shopping though, and have all the little presents for Hanukkah, it's easier to buy them throughout the year.

Do you do both Hanukkah and Christmas at your house Liv? I used to get Hannukah gifts off my friends family and then she would come to us on Christmas. I loved it, double presents :laugh:

Yes, always done both. You can't beat double presents! My OH isn't Jewish and my in laws are coming this year, although Hanukkah is earlier this year so they'll only catch the end of it. I remember you talking about your friend, are you still in touch?

Nothing would make me happier than stuffing my face while in bed and watching movies

fun fact, in my nation Netherlands, today 5th December is like ''Pakjesavond'' which is something mainly for the children, Sinterklaas, we used to have blackfaced helpers but that ended up as cancelled in these modern times, now just a bit of soot on their face :laugh:

we don't celebrate it obviously, but we do still like the gingerbread biscuits which we call Pepernoten or Kruidnoten here, and also Marzipan :clap1: :clap1: :clap1:
