What do you want for Christmas?

I'm a grown up. If I want something I buy it. If it's too expensive for me then it's certainly too expensive to ask for a present.

I went though this a few Christmases ago. Im nearly 50, there is nothing I want that I can't go and buy myself, Christmas is for kids so I said instead of buying me a present, spend the money on my nephews.

I no longer buy or receive presents, it is a great weight off my mind as I used to hate choosing presents.

We get to buy something stupid for ourselves, and then a small surprise for each other on Christmas Day.

We also match whatever we have spent with a donation to charity on the 25th. I know, lefty, sandal wearing tree hugger st, but what will you do? (That's over £1000 we will send to charity this year).

I’m after a set of Michelin PS4’s for the car so this year is the first Christmas in as long as I can remember where then the question has been asked I’ve got an answer. Mum and dad rear left, sister rear right, younger bro front left, older bro front right. I’ll see what turns up under the tree Christmas Day

A bottle of Scotch used to be my answer, as 'nothing' while accurate, is not helpful.

I rarely drink, so the cupboard is now groaning under the weight of a number of good (and many not so good) presents.

An Oculus Quest would be an interesting diversion - but it's not the sort of thing I'd ask for - even as a group purchase. There'd be too much pressure to enjoy the thing.

The same that I want every year (only half-joking):

Japanese girls with no restraint
Just to choke me 'till I faint
That's all I really want this year

Just a week in Mexico
With some black guys
And some blow
That’s all I really want this year

Jessica Biel and Megan Fox
Wearing nothing but their socks
Is all I really want for Christmas
This yeeeeeeeear

1. No happy family Christmas TV advertisements where diversity is the obvious priority over the products being hawked.
2. For Christmas to start on Christmas Eve & finish on Boxing Day.
3.. ONLY from Christmas Eve the playing of carols without having to fear upsetting shouty minorities.

WJNB is angry at a situation that he is imagining within his head. Poor sod. I would like him and others like him to also get over themselves and put their energies into doing something productive. That'd be a gift 'n a half.

I would like to go camping on my bike next year so I've asked for camping related things. I don't normally ask for anything but the family seems pleased as I'm really hard to buy for as I just buy anything I need when I need it.
