Does anyone else's partner constantly blag your head about what you want for Christmas?
I come up with loads of good ideas for her - but she always wants a list from me. Does my head in!
Maybe I'm too miserable!
What is everyone else asking for?
I might ask for the Willie Maddren Extra Time book but could do with some other ideas :)
 
Not to have to buy anyone else any presents.

I'm not a hypocrite as I don't want any presents either.

I have floated this proposal on a number of occasions but it goes down like a fart in a lift, especially with my in laws.

I now just leave it all to my amazing wife to sort out, I do feel a bit guilty.

my missus knows never to mention christmas to me. we have total opposite feelings about it - she goes home to family, I do whatever is necessary to avoid it and not get wound up.

Yeah I agree - more hassle than its worth swapping presents with other adults.
Should be presents for the kids and leave it at that.
 
Updated list;
Willie Maddren Extra Time Book
Aftershave Any
Shower Gell
Football Trainers
Running shorts / vests
Music for gym - ipod type thing
Coffee machine for bedroom
 
Not to hear 'Fairytale of New York'. Sadly that's not to be as it was on the wireless this morning ffs. Switched it off but it was too late.
 
Absolutely hate Christmas with a passion

Apparently the in laws have invited themselves to Christmas dinner this year, I like the inlaws but how the hell can I sit there with a smile on my face as if the everything is ok when so many are suffering

Actually makes me feel sick just thinking about it

In fact I might use the occasion to bring some reality to the smarminess of the event
 
Having seen The Pogues live 6 times, I absolutely love Fairytale of New York however I loathe with a passion when it comes on at a night out around Christmas and everyone tries to pretend they're on Riverdance
 
If anyone is struggling for a gift from the mrs, and you don't do it already, absolutely look into Double Edge shaving. It can be great gifts as there is loads of kit, and you will save a fortune in getting ripped off by cartridge razor blade companies. can get 100 blades for a DE razor for a tenner and use each one 2-3 times. there are kits to suit all budgets, some people spend £40 and that's it, some like artisan soaps and fine brushes etc and you'll actually enjoy shaving instead of finding it a chore.
