Finished my Crumby Day gift buying this morning. Myself, I am hoping for things for my kitchen – as a hodge-potch of equipment really needs streamlining (I don’t have more than two matching plates), rip it up and start again. I would also like a digital TV recorder as, back in the Stone Age, I could video one channel while watching another. Miss so much when I doze off in the day/evening, missing all the good stuff, and ending up with eight hours of the news overnight because that’s the best of a bad lot. A 1TB digital TV recorder would make sure I always had choice of new stuff to watch.

I doubt I’ll get any of that, but I have at least finished the gift buying I had to do. My food shopping will be completed on, probably, Thursday.

What? How many people does Nasty have to buy Crumby gifts for?

Unfortunately, only really Nasty.

Hoping Crumbo will offer a bit of what’s wanted at the end of the ear, with ifs galore for the year ahead.

Feck! Whatever crappy crap I bought myself for this Chrimble, and still days to go to surprise myself, it’s a better year end than last year’s sitting there building up to talk about cancer…

I don’t have two plates; I had two but one broke. I can’t be bothered getting another figuring its only me here and I only use one at a time. As for them being matching i fail to see why it matters.

I’m seriously thinking of getting rid of my tv entirely as most of what is on is utter garbage yet I turn it on out of sheer habit. I don’t have the facility to record or pause tv and if I want to catch up on anything i’ve missed, which is incredibly rare, I do it thru my laptop. I found ‘Planet Earth II’ really good but I haven’t seen the last two and have no interest in watching them now.

As for Christmas gifts there is nothing I want or need. I’ve gotten most presents online as as a family its only really for the kids and we just ask what they would like. For the grown-ups we really don’t care about presents etc. At work i’m the miser as I hate the over indulgence of it all. As I am working I get my dinner so was asked what I wanted with anything sensible permitted – after a long time thinking as nothing came to mind I asked for a bottle of Irn Bru.

That is why I decided to redo as a Crappo Chrimble gift to myself from myself. Piss the unexpected finances completely up the wall, or else invest in the life you live?

I agree with another poster in the ‘eating’ thread, I really, really want Lebkuchen……..hmmm might get some later this evening, after I’ve brought my brother around the driving test route. Fun!

 

Anyways I hope you have a good one Ron, knowing you, you’ll have bloody amazingly good food- and Christmas is really about the food isn’t it a-hard-days-night-george-10, throwing on a film, drink some beverage of your choice whilst accompanied be a tin of sweets, nice one!

I don’t want to “be a tin of sweets”! Who’s accompanying if I have to be? May have upset a few people this afternoon and have them planning a kicking. Never good being opinionated….

We didn’t really even buy each other presents this year. I told my wife what I wanted, she told me what she wanted, and then we each just bought our own presents. We agreed to wrap them and open them on Christmas, but I wrapped mine and she just started using hers.

It’s kind of a struggle because I like the Christmas traditions and opening the gifts at the proper time, but I also like to know exactly what I’m getting, lol.

Either with his tin fingers or tin toes.

I hear what you are saying. When I give Mrs. Claus my wish list, it is in email form with links to the Amazon pages! This started after one Christmas when I got the book I wanted, but “Oh, you go me the paperback. Thanks! (deep sigh)”. So, basically, I know what I’m getting but still like the tradition of opening presents that I did not wrap. Besides, there is always a gift or two that neither of us was expecting. We are like kids at Christmas and I hope that never ends. a-hard-days-night-george-9

Can’t remember if I posted this last year but it’s so good you all get to hear it again (I grew up listening to the album every Christmas).

 

I will be making sausage rolls for Christmas, am to collect the sausage meat from the Butchers tomorrow. Normally i make mince pies but not sure if I can bothered – I have zero Christmas spirit at the minute.

The King of Christmas songs. As many of you know, this one is my personal favorite. Christmas + the blues + Elvis = Chillsville.

Reminded of this advert last night. 

 

I feel very sad and sorry for the dad/grandad/great grandad being forgotten by his family, they should have thought of him and bothered their backsides to ensure he was’t on his own, but there is no chance of me sitting around having a laugh and a meal if someone faked their death to get me there.

 

No wonder he had such horrible kids when he does such nasty things.

I still haven’t heard ‘Wonderful Christmastime ‘ or ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over)’ on the radio. My holiday season will just have to be incomplete, because I’ve been avoiding Christmas radio, so it’s my own fault really… ahdn_paul_01

And then I will just go and listen to them on my own, I suppose. Not quite as much fun that way, but it’ll have to do. a-hard-days-night-paul-7
