    Did we ever find out why what person didn't want the headphones last year?

    Don't bring that up again!

    I got a very nice new watch and two lovely sweaters, chuffed to bits.

    My kid got an xbox 360 from Santa so great fun playing that with her.

    Delicious dinner and tucking into some nice red wine.

    A great day. No cheese.

    I got my wife a pearl necklace.

    Vile rumour has it the OPs missus was just getting revenge for all the cheese she has had to endure over the course of the year. If he gets a bottle of shower-gel for his birthday, it's confirmed.

    The Daughter bought me socks. Socks.

    Top tip - Dads say "ohh, just get me socks" in the same way as Mommies say "ohh just get me a steam cleaner..".

    I wanted a Ferrari.

    I got my wife a pearl necklace.
    I'd already given her that last Christmas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,694 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    She got me a bowling ball with her name on it.

    Spent about 50 quid on my sister, spent ages trying to find a really thoughtful gift she'd love, and got socks from her, woohoo! Obviously not about the money, more the lack of thought!

    Well said Ruu

    Be thankful you got anything at all. Christmas isn't about the presents but the presence of family. I'd give absolutely anything to have my mam with us this Christmas. Unfortunately she passed away in October. It p!sses me off that some people have to be selfish about presents at Christmas grow the fcuk up for gods sake! :mad: :mad:

    Three poxy jumpers and a crap watch. I would gladly swap for your cheeseboard.

    Can you tell my mrs aint on boards ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,694 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    You have to go shopping to buy socks.

    Getting socks as a present means one less reason go have to go shopping.

    So socks as a present is a win.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,855 ✭✭✭✭machiavellianme


    Socks has to be the worst present. Especially a handy three pack. Could they not even stretch to 7 pairs so you can get the full fortnight out of them? Gutted.

    When we were younger my uncle used to land up to us with boxes of change that added up to a few hundred quid between two of us, happy days.

    Until one year the box was not full of change, it was a box of protein bars...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,797 ✭✭✭Sir Osis of Liver.


    OP,if it were me I'd give her some cheese back.

    While she was asleep.

    And in the face.

    Got 2 gifts from himself - one good one and one sh1te one.

    Good - Hugo Boss perfume.

    Bad - the head cold, shivery, flu-type snotty head dose he decided to pass on to me.

    Can't even smell my lovely new perfume :(
