Sympathies to you both...

I'm not going to pretend that we didn't have a lovely day, though - and 'we' is probably key, given the above?

One thing that was nice was my son, having recently won a few hundred quid on the Irish Lottery, spent just a bit extra on us, so Mrs Gaz got a nice white gold bracelet & I got the 5 disk Blade Runner collectors edition in a tin :cool:

Will do - first impression of the 'final cut' compared to my old region1 'directors cut' is that the clean up & enhancement has made a big difference, I'll watch the workprint & let you know..

[Mr_love_monkey]

[SMHarman]

Don't know yet as I've not opened them but already got the best pressie, being with him indoors :)

---------- Post added at 11:42 ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 ----------

So me... Like others have said not much gift giving as we tend to buy what we want and travel is probably the most precious gift that we give during the year now me and my son are now 3500mi from the motherland. So I got gifts for my sisters children and likewise she did for my son.
I got Life on Mars S2. Yet to be watched, instead I got to watch Santa Clause 3, Polar Express, Mickeys one and twice upon a Christmas (very good I recommend if you have children under 8), Polar express, Mickeys Playhouse Christmas, did I mention Polar Express?
My son got me his school photo framed (from the ex)
My sister got me a picture of her two, (the windowledge of family pictures is coming along nicely).

I also spent Christmas Morning helping at my work doing 'Christmas Calls' where many many bus loads of pensioners come and visit and use our phone system to call anyone they want anywhere in the world while being given some drinks (non alchoholic), cookies, etc.. I think nearly a thousand of them came through the doors.

Job satisfaction huh SM? ;)

[lostandconfused]

i got a new car :D

[r00t]

2 days off work
A Great dinner and spent time with family and friends.
What more could you ask for :)

[SMHarman]

Job satisfaction huh SM? ;)Yes it was. Amazingly here in NY I was able to take public transport into the office and be there for 7.30 when this kicked off. Try doing that in London on Christmas day!
I had also been out for a few drinks on Christmas eve, the full cooked breakfast offered to us volunteers was well recieved.

Somehow, I can't imagine my work doing that.

[Druchii]

2days off work (Xmas day and Boxing day)
Book: 1001 funniest things ever said
Book: A Civil Case (This ones pretty damn good)
A pair of thick socks
Bottle of aftershave
Swimming Shorts (Apparently i'm off to Croatia this Summer, and i'm paying)

And 3days with my girlfriends family.

Christ :( Mum didn't contact me back at all, nor did my sister, or anyone. Except, my 2 Uncles, and even they were generic messages.
If i could drown myself in a pool of alcohol right now, i would. Unfortunately i'm broke and have work at 3am.

[Knobbly]

I got lots of stuff for our upcoming baby (due end of January), a bottle of poteen (which I think was a joke), a set of HID lights for my bike (been waiting months for them), a useless mp3 transmitter for the car, some new car mats and the usual cheap aftershave sets from the inlaws.

Nobody took the hint that the baby would like a 50 inch plasma TV for when it's born but I'm allowed to buy myself one next Christmas apparently.

[joglynne]

A few bottles of wine (which have all now been consumed during an impromptu party with the neighbours this afternoon https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2012/06/10.gif) and the usual perfume, book tokens and chocolates.

The most unexpected pressy though is the 250GB external HD which I have just found attached to my computer. I now know where my delightful son disappeared to when he went missing during the party. :D

[etccarmageddon]

girls aloud latest album, a jumper and sweet fa from my g/f.

[brundles]

Like several others here, socks were among the pressies - with phrases like Bladdered, Plastered and Hammered on them. The mother-in-law swears blind that she wasn't trying to tell me something with them though!

[greencreeper]

Prada EDT boxed set
CDs
Suduko book
Slippers - possibly made of goat. The label was in Austrian with a picture of two goats. Presumably one per slipper :erm:
Dressing gown - very fluffy. I look like Liberace
Assorted grooming products
Bottle opener
Two jumpers from my mate - he has good taste
Leather wallet
Cash
A piggin - http://www.xystos.co.uk/Piggin/productdetails.aspx?product=1386 :D
Belt hanger


I think that's it :scratch: Oh and I bought myself a chair.

Ignore my grumpyness in that post, sure Christmas was different and odd this year, but i did spend it at least with my girlfriend (trust me, that's a gift in itself), and ate good food and drank good pop (No alcohol this xmas due to the gf) and had a good laugh at times.

Thanks Joglynne for the kind words :)

[Orior]

I already have everything, so she just got me an empty box to put it all in.
