Hidden messages in Christmas presents

darkman2

Hi, anyone pay attention to, perhaps, a hidden message in a Christmas present - i.e if you get deoderant for example - does that equate to you smell bad and need to shape up? Or are all presents harmless and not much thought goes into them anyway? Also what presents do you think are meant to send a message? - Or do most folks really give it that much attention? Happy Christmas to you all:)

I got an electric ear/nostril cleaner one year from my brother. There was no reading to be done into that. It was fairly clear what he was trying to say. The fecker.

Absolutely 0 thought goes into presents in that way! 90% of males will get socks from some relative and im pretty sure said 90% already have at least 1 pair of hole-less socks!!!

Yup, they're trying to get rid of me, I'm convinced ...

3 books, yes 3, on passing interviews for Garda and Army, plus a good cooking book ... plus loads of small presents hinting at me moving out.

Time to pack the bags lads

A voucher - you're impossible to buy for so you can buy your own present. Sounds about right.

I got a curling iron, subtle way for my boyfriend to tell me he likes my hair curly, not straight

the_syco

A leather jacket + clothes from the parents, and a book voucher for Waterstones from the sister.

Well, the mother has been trying to get me to stop wearing my trenchcoat for a while, so that's that, and as for the book voucher: she knows that I am picky on what I read.

See, women read way too much into this type of thing. Your boyfriend was probably on the way to the pub, needed to get something for you on the way and this was the first thing he saw.

He's told me he prefers my hair curly, and I was with him when he bought it for me. We shopped together cos we hadn't got a clue what to buy each other.

We were talking last night about the presents my landlady gave me and what they imply..
Pyjamas - stop wandering around in the nip
Socks - and that goes for your feet as well
Fancy bath things - you smell
Wine - you are too sober by half.

From my parents I got two Girls Aloud CDs and a 9 euro Penneys handbag (yes the price tag was still on it), which obviously means they think I am a classy, classy lady.

I used to call these a "Rory go have a wash because you're a dirty student kit" didn't get one this year but there's still an opportunity to get one so I'll hold out. Other than that I've never read anything into Christmas presents.
