I have just been to the bottom of the garden to saw off two branches of the elder tree.  This is what we are having instead of a Christmas tree.  Decs (no Ant ) have just been removed from the loft. Wrapping paper yep tape yep parcle ready for the USA ready to go tomorrow.  By tonight the parcle for Scotland will be ready.  Have ordered a juice extractor from Amazon as well as a book am just about to order a second book.  Cake done, mincemeat made and ready for the pies. No pressies for my daughters as yet I keep asking what they want and get no replies. Poinsettias purchased I am going out again in a minute to get some ivy from the front wall So all in all nearly there.

Tree up, all pressies bought and wrapped. Cards written to be sent tomorrow.

Now to get into the serious part of Christmas ....the eating and drinking and drinking

[Pastis]

Nothing done here 

Cards will be done next week as will pressies. No decorations and still have no clue what to do on the day 

[Uncle Mort]

Very little done here, couple of prezzies bought, invites to mum, brother and his son to join me and sprogs over the holidays. That's it so far.

Trust you to have IED pastries. 


Or was this a Dickensian reference to your very own pies?

Avinsome down there is my new best friend.

I shall purchase some random shite for those that are slightly worthy, the rest can piss right off.

I don't actually do wrapping of the few tatty gifts I buy, or cards, as quite simply, I really CANNOT be arsed anymore, and in return, I also expect nowt, simple as that.

Why buy stuff only to be given the two finger salute shortly after all this false short lived rancid shitty 'jollyment' crap has all gone and been forgotten about?
