Default Christmas Presents / Surprises
Do you know everything you are getting for Christmas?

Or is everything a surprise to you

Or even do you know some but still get some surprises...

First year ever I am totally clueless as to what I am getting.
I have dropped hints for an iPad pro...but not a clue if it will arrive under the tree or not.
Stuck for ideas for my Xmas list this year, the kids go mad as it means they have to rack their brains. Hoping for a magazine subscription from each of them for starters. I am quite boring to buy for to be fair.
Daughter is good at gift finding and son is hopeless..no doubt she will be helping him.

Our perfect Christmas gift came early, our daughter was at the hospital this morning and has been told that the worrying lump she has is only a cyst...she is now on her way home up North for an early Xmas, so it doesn't really get any better than that.

Yes, I can't even begin to explain the worry hubby and I have had this last fortnight or so, trying to be upbeat about it to her and saying everything will be fine when deep down we had no idea of the outcome.
Hopefully we will all sleep better tonight...best Christmas present ever.

I'm sure there's not a gift in the world to beat that. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas together x

I have no idea what I'm getting. But I've been very good this year...

Few things i've told my mum i'd like which she'll probably get but she usually gets a few other bits that i won't be expecting which is always good. And then i've got no idea what any of my friends have got me so thats always a bit exciting Josy.

I give a list out of ideas of things people could get me because I'm really hard to buy for apparently.

Haven't asked for anything this year, everything I've wanted throughout the year I've just bought myself so there's nothing left really. I'm sure my mum will find something though.

I have a pretty solid idea of what I'm getting off my mum but it's not been confirmed. My Aunties have told me what they're getting me and both my nans are just giving me money.

...sometimes I have a list because I'm asked for a list but I usually just say surprise me so mostly don't know what I'll get..I'm generally the worst receiver of gifts ever and hate that anyone spends money on me, home made stuff is the best...

I know that my boyfriend got me new earphones and my sister sent me a little package with a developed pic of my niece/goddaughter and some snacks etc.. My sister and brother are also sending me sweets and stuff.

My mother is very thoughtfully sending me a replacement of the toy I used for comfort as a child, lost it in a housefire in 3008. I can't believe she got it for me!

Then there's presents from my boyfriends family that I have no clue about, I just know there's more than three things

I've dropped a few hints so I have an idea about a few. I also looked on my husbands purchased ebay items and so I know one present for sure...unless...no, no that doesn't bare thinking about

I like surprises but I'm afflicted with negative persuasion. The more I tell myself not to peep, the more tempted I am to take a wee look.
