  1. Why is Santa fat? He should go on a diet. Also change his name.. I don’t like it, to similar to satan, what a coincidence
     
  2. Not long to go until christmas. Just under 6 weeks.
    Who's started their shopping?

  5. Things i've bought for people have been practical things such as soap, tissues, bath bombs, etc.
    All things nice.
     
  6. You mean wasting money and going in debt buying stuff they don’t need? Not me

    You dont have to spend lots of money.. just be thoughtfull about it.
    I have a bigger problem with stuff my family buys me.. I just wished they wouldnt.. it's far better to see their faces, than try to hide my feelings in my face.. lol
    I love the things the kids make for me.. or a nice pen, new journal..
    I'd much rather a nice card... honestly.

    Because some advertising executive wanted him to appear warm and jolly and easily approachable by little kids,
    so what better figure than a fat jolly happy-go-lucky grandfather figure

    Dont be on your own at Christmas...
    Go see a friend
    Volunteer at a shelter
    Invite yourself
    Decorate the out side of the house like your having a ball...
    But dont be on your own...go home!

  12. Just had this as a status update but it might be more appropriate in this thread..
    Yeah, I'm listening to Christmas music on DirecTV right now..My gf is like , "what the f---, Sierra, it's not even Thanksgiving, yet".
    She can be such a Scrooge at times....I love Christmas and listen to the Xmas music at times during the year..

    I forgot to tell you... the best Christmas present ever! First grandchild, she was born 23rd.. we are so lucky to have her... been a bunch of them since, but nothing like your first!
    Love them all and enjoying the gifting buying for them all.. twins are into dressing up, but have to be the same!!! Cant wait!
    We have one just wants money...
    A little bit of advice... if you cant think of anything to buy someone.. on the internet you can get a lovely bracelet really cheap, and their name engraved free.. they cant pass it on, and there is Male and female types...

    Anyone got any tips on presents?
