What are you getting/hoping to get for Christmas?
 

My OH and I are getting each other new dry robes as we both want them (great for cold, dry winters days out by the fire pit with a beer or two).

We’re also getting a cheese and port hamper from family. :lovedup:

We’ll also be getting aftershave and probably an abundance of socks from other people. :laugh:

Anytime now I start looking at things on eBay and WATCHING them … then in a few weeks I decide which things to buy …

Anything at all!

There's nothing I really need or especially want.

It's really cheesy but the happiness of giving others nice things even if small gifts is more than a pleasure for me. I don't buy for a lot of people due to circumstances. It's just Karl and his mum, a few close friends (6) who don't expect anything expensive but I know their tastes. And a handful of forum members will be finding a little bit of something from me in person or via post etc.

That's it really.

If you wear the divisive dryrobe – an ankle-length, waterproof dressing gown designed as an outdoor changing robe, with a £160 price tag – then you’ve probably already been mocked for it. Initially, the coat was made to give surfers privacy and warmth while changing outdoors. But recently, it’s been stripped of its original purpose and is worn by middle-class city dwellers on the school run. In my opinion, whatever your class, it looks like you’re wearing a tent. These coats should be left to those who are doing cold water swimming activities, not those roaming around London Fields with a matcha latte in hand.

:hee::hehe:

:joker: oh Cherie you're such a tonic!

Too much pressure on people to be buying presents at Christmas
Absolutely a waste of time and money
A chance for dicks to show off by buying over priced tat

I fcuking hate Christmas

Hopefully to get out of this lift. Haha!!

Nothing specific in mind really, I asked Gavin to get me a voucher for Fatface

I love that song. :dance:

There's a FB group called Dry Robe Wankers where they post pics of people wearing them in places like Tesco etc :laugh:

:laugh:

Only ever seen people wearing them to go sea swimming in real life

…I’ll let you know when I get it…but I know it’ll be what I really, really wanted…zig a zig, ahhhh…..

I won’t be wearing it to the supermarket ever lol. It’s mainly for when we go camping and swimming but also great for by the fire pit.

We need a pic of Ben, don't we.

Best get on OnlyFans then 💅🏻

I'd be willing to pay...

I have an old parka I wear at the firepit. It smells of smoke, I keep it in the porch

I accept payment in whiskey or Amex

My old fire pit jacket is on its last legs. It’s served me well. :(

They do get stinky... Although it's quite an evocative smell.

My OH usually buys me a nice piece if jewellery. No idea what I'm getting though.

I am not hoping for anything

If anyone would like a lovely Christmas card from me then by all means let me know and I'll happily sort one out if you trust enough to give an address privately. I won't turn up at your houses.

Piece of coal for you as usual.

:hee:

Pissed

Lord Alf has spoken. Let's all get extremely merry.

Perfect for Ben

admittedly I had to google what they were, I trust you Benji you wont be flaunting yours at Aldi

I like Christmas as in the lights, the Carols, the food, the meet ups but I am not keen on presents so we keep it pretty simple

Oh we love sitting around the Chiminea or firepit…

:laugh:

Apologies to anyone who has one of those long puffer coats.. but they always make me smile when I see two skinny ankles and feet hanging out at the bottom of such a huge coat !

Oh I love that people are slagging off the school run mums that wear them coats. They are literally THE worst people on the school run. They annoy me so much when I'm picking the kids up. Always in the bloody way, walking so slow and all next to each other not letting others pass, showing off cos they spent most of the day at the gym, get a job you lazy sods, and all chatter non stop about the nativity. So yeah let's hate those long coat douchebags

Ben gets everywhere

I actually saw somebody in Tesco yesterday wearing one and thought of this thread. :laugh:

Just a lovely Christmas Day with the family, sharing dinner with all the trimmings.
Not interested in presents but there will be a stocking with goodies from hubby and kids.
The one thing I really want is an improvement in my health, been such an awful few weeks of late but I think I have turned the corner.

We had a lovely takeaway together last evening.
Son, daughter and her partner came around, they had all the boxes out of the loft, decorations more or less done and dusted and boxes back up in loft.
Just a few tweaks in the kitchen to do.
Daughter has organised catering for my birthday on Friday, big one so a quaint little afternoon tea for me and my girls, men only allowed for waitering duties.:laugh:

I want a curling wand, though I'm more excited about seeing what others think of the gifts I got them.

Bless you Smudge. Xx

I want a puppy this year

Oh lovely Jess. Hope you get so much joy out of giving and that you get your curling wand.

you are away too much to devote time to a puppy :fist:
