***Merry December***

Recommended Posts

Got two kids who love Christmas. But a bank account who hates it. I hate the whole commercialisation of this month but love the concept of quality time with the kids and loved ones. Who doesn’t like to see their faces when opening their presents as well.Β 
Β 

So a mixed bag for me I suppose.Β

Nice post.

My children and grandchildren are all adults now so Xmas is a non event just as you say the bank balance takes a big hit.

I know you were, bud, and jeffros has thicker skin than most and he's no stranger to your posts so he'll probably see the funny side.

Β 

The unfortunate thing is, he has no good reason for being a miserable **** for the remaining 11 months of the year, but he does a smashing job of it.

Hope so, bud. We said farewell to my wife's Dad yesterday. Heartbreaking.

Sorry to hear that, bud. Thankfully I've not had to go through it yet, but it comes to us all. Dreading the Mrs old man cashing his chips up, they're really close, basically the same person, and it'll break her.

Thanks bud. Getting to that age now, that all the adults we knew when we were young, are now going to the promised land.Β

My Mum went 6 years ago, my Dad 25 years ago. Both giving way for new life. My boy(Da) and My boys daughter (Maw) Well I used that theory to help me get past it.

I would enjoy December if it weren't for having to buy presents. I'm crap at it and it just stresses me out.

I got a present of one with chocolates in it. A couple of days ago, I was feeling a bit low so scoffed the lot. Couldn't even make it to the 1st to start. :D

Even worse trying to get a present for a 3 years old boy without it being non gender specific , but the thing is he loves building things and definitely lovesΒ smashing things so I think I’ll just buy him the β€œ my first work station β€œ ! Ensemble I saw today in a shop . So what if it’s gender stereotyping he loves all that. Even helps his dad with the joinery work πŸ˜‚

Well I wouldn't advise anyone to give me another advent calendar. :D Thanks though. Going to try and get things sorted out tomorrow, or at least get myself on a good path to doing so.
