    Shag all this 'giving' palava... Christmas is about getting stuff and you all know it! So watcha get?

    I got:

    Nothing yet. I'm an adult and live alone and Santa doesn't do ineligible bachelors apparently. Racist!

    But will update post later when I attend a family gathering. Fooking better be something good.

    Part of me hopes I get the same gift as I got when I was 7. An Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle!!





    Most likely everyone will get me Springsteen's autobiography. If so, will post links to my Adverts account where you can get your own copy of the book signed by After Hour's Outlaw Pete for a one time price offer of €59.95 (price does not include shipping).

    Yes, I have been drinking and no I won't be driving. Now answer the question, if you can remember it.

    absolutely nothing. Because some members of the family are tight of money this year we've decided not to give presents except for the kids.

    I'm actually ok with it. I really don't feel like I'm missing out at all. Which is strange because I thought I'd feel completely different.

    My mam got me my usual assortment of Simpsons and superheroes pyjamas and lounge wear. She's been buying them for me all my life. I'm 32 now and they just keep coming. This year's highlight is an Incredible Hulk two-piece.

    My mam's gifts still contain the fun and playfulness of Christmas.

    Aren't Mammy's great. I'm at the in-laws this year but my mom still sent me down with my Christmas stocking for the morning. Wasn't allowed open it until Christmas morning of course.

    That's lovely. Mam's are absolutely great. They're a boss, a bodyguard and a best friend all rolled into one.

    Love this post.

    The kind of thing you feel sheepish getting but would miss if she ever stopped. I thought mine had missed the selection box last year and even though I rarely eat chocolate and goes in the fridge for months I missed it. Found it later though buried under other stuff :)

    I'm 30 and devastated my mas not getting me PJs this year, she always gets the comfiest ones too. Getting cash, so that's a bonus, but still!

    I'm afraid of the answer but why is Santa in quotation marks? :(

    Nothing yet.
    I usually buy what I want so Christmas presents don't really matter, it is more a symbol of love and caring than anything else at this stage.

    A black eye!

    It should be Saint (Santa) Nicholas (Claus) and he is reported to be buried in Ireland...

    The missus got three gift sized bath products and a set of towels from her mam. Hilariously ****e.

    Not Christmas if you don't come out of it without a black eye, a restraining order, and having your Christmas dinner through a tube.

    A retro Paisley shirt that would make your eyes bleed.

    At the grand old age of 23 I got the usual - pyjamas, fluffy socks, chocolate, lego and perfume. Loving life!

    Slippers. I actually asked for them. I think this means I am officially old.

    I love slippers. No way does it make you old. I've got a lovely comfy pair of John Rocha ones which are still going strong three years on but this year's are mock-up hightop runner things..very cool

    I dropped hints for slippers to EVERYONE, didn't get any :(

    (size 11 if anyone has any left over :p )

    An electric toothbrush. I asked for Jenga!

    Nintendo classic mini.

    I knew it was there months ago, but my son didn't know that I knew. He was more excited about giving me that than his own presents.

    Bf got me a vintage canon camera. Love it.
