Christmas is fast approaching with just over a month until the big day. So what would you like for Christmas this year? Planning to buy any friends or family members anything special?

Discuss

[Malza]

I am not religious, so Christmas has no real meaning to me, will put some lights to my balcony, just because I like it, but no further decoration or tree.

Will spend the day with my husband at my family, but they are also not making a big fuss out of it, and we have stopped the Christmas-presents-terror already years ago.

So just a lazy day on the 24th (boxing day in Garmany), and I have to work at the 25th & 26th again anyway

Same...My birthday's in like...5 days.

[Locke.]

None of your business.

[Novo]

I think i want less and less the older i get there is barely anything i really want this year.. I use to spend hours looking at the Argos book etc..

[MTVN]

There's nothing I really want in particular, I'm not that bothered about what I get

[Kerry]

All focused on my daughter. I don't want anything

Christmas day is always lovely though Full meal, tacky TV, presents, naps at silly times (cos I'm the one who wakes the house at 5am) and just relaxation come 7pm or something.

[Shaun]

The only thing I really want is a decent Freeview box [basic: not fussed about recording stuff, HD-ready nonsense].

As for plans...just me, me ma, brother, sister & niece (and older brother at some point I should imagine). My other older brother used to come down with his family before he died, so last year was really quiet by comparison...what with Dad as well. But never mind. I had friends around for movies, games & drinks on the 23rd which was lovely, might repeat that. I remember one year we went to someone's house and had a go at cooking a Xmas Dinner from scratch, was pretty successful really!

Oh and Love Actually HAS to come on at one point. Essential. Along with Home Alone 2.

I'm not bothered.

When you get older it means less and less really.

Just loads of spoilt brats who don't actually know what Christmas is about, and instead are stuffing their goats with chocolate and mince pies and wanting all the time.

For christmas i would like it all to be over and done with as cheaply as possible with the least fuss and inconvenience possible sadly i never seem to get that though.

Its a pain in the backside you spend a month leading up to it worrying whether you have bought everything you need,You feel obliged to spend a fortune on crap that people probably dont even need or really want and i end up sat in a house full of screaming kids for the day that arent even mine!
Im just relieved when its all over.

[Stacey.]

iPod Touch :')

Will get loads more besides that though..

Don't be disappointed if you get an orange and an apple.

Maybe a Mr Pinot and a Mrs Grigio too.

[Princess]

I'm just getting feck loads of CDs and books which will do me grand. I don't know what to buy my parents yet and my friends have an argeement that none of us buy each other Christmas presents cos we're all so poor I am planning on sending out quite a few Christmas cards though.

edit:As for plans,spending time with my friends,on the actual day just going to be me and my parents at home since my brother is in China atm. Late Late Toy Show on Friday Plus Love Actually,Home Alone,Elf,Miracle on 34th Street,The Santa Clause and Jack Frost will have to be watched at some point. While eating loads.

[Patrick]

Too much stuff to name.

Mum has spent over a thousand on me so far, so that's quite nice considering last year's travesty [Some of you may remember my Razzie Award Winning thread].


And no, I'm not buying anyone anything.

They can go ****** really, Especially the people like my aunts and cousins who spend all your childhood years buying you Selection Boxes and Boxers, if they're expecting as much as a bottle of perfume of me they can go and ******.

Especially because all the boxers they use to get me were too small.


I hate buying stuff for people anyway even if they need about 75p to get a bus up to visit their dieing nan in hospital, I'd be like 'Um, No.'

People on here said they love seeing the faces of their family and friends when they buy them stuff, I find that quite cheesy really.

k, and what is Christmas about then?

And don't even say it's about this make believe ******wit:

[Niamh.]

I love Christmas, it'll be a bit smaller this year though, I usually have my 3 brothers and my mom over for Christmas Day but this year 2 of my brothers will by away for Christmas and my other brother has kids now so he'll be spending it at his own house. Don't think my mom is coming either ( I hope it's not to do with with an out of control game of pictionary last year)

[Stephanie]

i don't want anything. meh, i don't really see the point in it anymore.

Patrick you sound really spoilt.

Yes Christmas is about that.

I don't believe in it though. Just a reason for people to spend loads of money. ****ty cards that go in the bin and etc etc.

Just another excuse for adults to go and get pissed. etc etc etc.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Patrick you have got to be one of the most ungrateful selfish people I have ever come across.

Anyway, there's nothing I want really, apart from the Everton third kit, maybe a couple of blu rays, I honestly don't need anything.

Am just looking forward to spending time with family between Xmas and New Year, been a really tough year health wise for my dad so will be nice for us all to be together, might be the last time it happens.

[30stone]

I think im getting a Sony Vaio Laptop from my parents and an MTX Sub from my girlfriend.

Ive got my parents just loads of bits perfume main for mum, watch for my dad, got my brother and his fiancee a coffee machine and my girlfriend some ghd straightners perfume and stuff..

Im happy i got most chritsmas shopping done.

Wow, shes spent a grand?
And you dont want to buy your family anything.

Cheesy as it sounds some of us just like to make others happy.

If my parents couldnt afford to spend a lot on me i wouldnt mind, id still buy them a fair bit because i have the money to, they are great to me and they deserve it.

Its nice to spread the christmas spirit
