CHRISTMAS 2016

[Neferti]

Christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat ....
Please put a penny in the Old Man's Hat ...
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do ...
If you haven't got a ha'penny then God Bless You.

***************************************************************

I have a few presents bought (unwrapped) and the Christmas cards (and stamps), no Christmas tree, yet .... that's about it.

What about you?

Oh, I have lots of epals overseas and use this site for e-cards .... costs me about $15 a year but well worth it.

Check out the cards (click the preview card) ... Jacqui Lawson is English and her cards are really great and for all occasions.

There are lots of free sites for ecards but I send very few. No tree yet and no shopping done either.

Do you do a big Christmas gathering?

[skippy]

I'm prepared . We have already bought the boy some games that he wanted ( he is a gamer) and Ill just give him his favourite present with them,cash.
I bought my mum and sister some hand made vases at a local market on the weekend ( what do you buy women that have everything they need?) And my wife and I agreed we don't want anything because we really dont need or want anything ( probably the first time in my life I could say that).
The downer for me is I need to go to Sydney this year, which I hate. My mum was coming here but she is too ill to travel so I have to go to Cronulla, where my sister lives, for Christmas.

Sorry about your Mum, Skippy. Christmas is the worst time when people you love are sick.

I don't "need" anything either but my daughter goes out of her way to search out stuff. She seems to come up with some really wonderful things and thoughtful too. I am always surprised and excited with her gifts.

What games does your boy do?

Cods, I have one daughter and 3 grand daughters. I ABSOLUTELY refuse to give "money" or a Gift card. I want to WRAP A PRESENT. So, they make a "list" and I do have a limit .. about $85 each. For Christmas. Probably not that much .... but it does give them a choice to actually THINK about what Grandma can give them ....

Do you have a go with him? I know ADULTS who also play those games ....

I quite like civilisation and some of those strategy games ... and I loaded up "Tycoon City ... New York" the other day .... got bored after a while though. My PC can handle all those sort of games .... 32GB of RAM.

I also use Steam as a friend (who plays those strategy games you mentioned) thinks, because I am female I need to play rubbish like "Bully" ... yawn.

Honestly, I have given up on "games" ... they do NOT interest me like they used to.
