Us guys like to be praised!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the vote of confidence Hitch - but a bit of smut never did anyone any harm!<BR/><BR/>Nice to see you back OC - just beginning to wonder if you'd departed Blogland like the Elves leaving Middle Earth! Being sick on Christmas day - what a fab memory! I came close to it once - when I was in my early twenties. Sadly I can't attribute my condition to over excitement but by over indulgence at the pub beforehand... thankfully I managed to keep the contents of my stomach in place <I>and</I> finish my Christmas dinner... my gran would not have been amused otherwise!<BR/><BR/>Amanda, if I get 5p in my pudding it'll only be because I put it there! When we were younger and spent Christmas as my grandparent's house, my grandad would not very subtley throw £1 coins into the custard... inflation, don't you know...<BR/><BR/>Aww, Daisy, I hope you feel more into it soon. By the amount of cookies you've baked I'd say you were part way there at least!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-6672660378820904922007-12-11T09:02:00.000+01:002007-12-11T09:02:00.000+01:00We put some twinkle lights up for Divali in Novemb...We put some twinkle lights up for Divali in November and it really cheered the place up but the tree didn't go up until the start of December and it is only now that the house is starting to look and feel festive.<BR/>I am actually quite impressed with how understated Christmas is becoming locally and the decorations in the shops seem to get a little later each year as I think they are now realising that punters are getting a little pissed off with decorations starting to go up in August!<BR/>Personally my favourite Christmas song is Fairy Tale of New York. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltiY-BqvOIUMOTHER OF MANYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555514242369474271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-78594479293852871102007-12-11T02:05:00.000+01:002007-12-11T02:05:00.000+01:00i haven't even started the christmas thing this ye...i haven't even started the christmas thing this year...just can't get going on it for some reason...perhapse i will just forget it this year and do something spectacular next yearDaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190578784452773984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-13987698838682346902007-12-10T22:51:00.000+01:002007-12-10T22:51:00.000+01:00I remember seeing a Sesame Street episode where El...I remember seeing a Sesame Street episode where Elmo wanted Xmas everyday.... Bah humbug, I am quickly getting a tad titchy with the Christmas crowds dawdling about at the Malls...why can't they be like the rest of us who know what we want to buy?!! and just get on with it. The queues in the Post shops are rapidly turning into a life sentence too...apart from that, you're done good Steve, hope you get the 5p in your pudding!! grumpily yours, AThe Sagittarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513045101496737031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-37281530523455685642007-12-10T21:06:00.000+01:002007-12-10T21:06:00.000+01:00Xmas sure does take its toll financially. You are ...Xmas sure does take its toll financially. You are correct Mr Steve. Thankfully I don't have any kids to think about unlike you so the pennies don't need to stretch quite so far (just on my ultra materialistic husband, ha ha)...<BR/><BR/>No the kids comment is a bit mean...I'm sure you DO get a lot of joy from spending Xmas with your offspring and as you say, their pleasure at getting nice gifts from their Dad! Crimbo is certainly much more of an event when you're a kid. My abiding Yuletide memory is when I was approx 11-12 years old and got a Star Wars Millenium Falcon toy one Xmas. I was so excited about getting it and the general Xmas thing, I didn't sleep atall the night before. The next day I was ill and ended up spewing up my Xmas din dins everywhere. Those were the days, eh?<BR/><BR/>As for Roy Wood, that song and Slade's "classic" drive me to distraction!

My first husband used to buy me things that HE wanted. Once he gave me a Bryan Ferry CD and I have never shown any interest in his music and my [now ex-husband] was his number one fan! My second [and last] hubbie will lavish me with things to make me happy. I feel a glow knowing that he loves me enough to go to the trouble and expense.<BR/>Yes, you've done the right thing Steve - blow the cost - Karen will be thrilled!Annie Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703057351436504483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-12546823538169285512007-12-10T19:02:00.000+01:002007-12-10T19:02:00.000+01:00haha yeah I bet.
