    Yes, I'm working Christmas Day so on Christmas Eve I will treat myself to potato croquettes.

    I'd love to, but won't really have the cash.
    It'll be small-scale christmas for us this year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Nope, not this year, just don't have the cash.

    I'm treating myself by not having 17 people over for dinner this year \o/

    Off to the Mammy's instead.

    And new jammies, always new jammies.

    I'm due a health insurance refund of a fair enough amount, so I'm going to spend it on the Oh ( he has a missing tooth that he hates) and a few bits for me, sunglassess, a knife (leatherman/swiss army) and a balaclava to keep warm when sailing.

    Plan is to spend half and save half :) We are looking at a radical change in our lives next year (our own plan) so nothing massively extravagant.

    Not really tbh, tight budget.

    But I do look forward to my annual crack open the sweets, sit down with a bottle of whiskey and watch Die Hard xmas eve tradition :D

    I'm getting socks. I always get socks. I'm not sure how it started. Since when are socks a present?

    I love giving other people i love presents and decent presents at that. I have no interest in getting anything in return.

    Anything I want I buy myself. I'm very hard to buy for..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,536 ✭✭✭brevity


    I've kinda already treated myself to a digital camera so that's it for me!

    I have specifically asked for Sealskinz socks, thirty euro a pair they are, fine as a gift but I couldn't justify buying them.

    Now if you are getting Pennys socks...........................................

    Ive treated my boyfriend to an xbox one! I actually thought i wouldn't be able to get one,everywhere i checked was pre order only,and of course i wasn't smart enough to do that,so he thinks hes not gettin one for this reason,however today in xtravision i asked on the off chance did they have any and praise the lord they had one left!

    So fricken happy,they are like gold dust. Can't wait to see his face Christmas morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat

    That's cheap.

    Forour anniversary my OH had his car professionally valeted inside and out, I paid to get it through the NCT, and serviced to keep it well maintained.

    Then he had a day out with dinner as well

    For Christmas, he's getting a nice jumper :D

    To each their own though, I have a rather weird list of gifts I'd like for xmas :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,387 ✭✭✭brokenarms


    I am saving desperately for a Wii U for my boy

    My treat is making his Christmas day special .

    PS4! :)

    I'm treating myself to a X free Christmas day. No stupid fuddy duddy leftie Xmas for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭MJ23


    A rasher sambo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Nah if I want to treat myself to something I just do it if I have the cash to do so, not for the sake of the one day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,242 ✭✭✭liliq


    Managed to pre order a ps4 that should arrive before Xmas for himself so between that and the kiddo, that's the cash gone for decent treats.
    There's nothing I particularly want though that I could justify treating myself to anyway, so it's all good. :D
    We're treating ourselves by staying at home and telling everyone who wants us to whirlwind around visiting that they know where we are if they want to see us on Xmas day!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,987 ✭✭✭Legs.Eleven


    Treating myself to going home for 2 weeks to Ireland and spending time with the family and old friends. I've got the woogly googlies even thinking about it. :D

    Don't be surprised when the tell you have to buy a game too or they won't allow you purchase the xbox.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Probably not, buy stuff all year round, getting home for Christmas will be nice though. Catch up on who died, who got their house painted/decorated, who is seeing who, who died and who died. :p
