Talking to the missus and said to her ... Is there not a cut off age when you stop giving people Xmas presents / money in Envelopes ....

Reason for is because when i got to specific age 18 many moons ago the envelopes with dosh in them or even loads of goodies started to decline as the years went on till eventually in my early 20's it dropped down to just the odd card ....

Yet nowadays we are still giving family members well over the age of 30 expensive gifts or a couple of hundred pounds in money envelopes ....

As you can guess at the end of the conversation the usual title of Scrooge was getting banded about ......

And if i was Scrooge the B d's wouldn't be getting what they are getting ...

Made me laugh Mick, exactly the same this end, sick to the back teeth of the way is has become.

Even got into an argument when I stated my point that babies do not need anything as they dont have a clue its Christmas....and I stand by that one

Anyway Bah Bloody Humbug

Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black

Gifts is for children.

Adults is meeting family and socializing and enjoying time off work

Christ, the different classes of full fat owners, I begrudge giving the utter dick of a nephew £30 who is 20 odd! He actually asked for cash this year to go towards his wedding, wee tit. Needless to say he'll get Amazon vouchers, dobber!

Sales of ‘any old shyt’ expected to treble as men start Christmas shopping


Men xmas shopping
The purchase of gifts using no thought or imagination is expected to increase significantly as High Street retailers brace themselves for a stampede of panicked men who have suddenly realised it’s Christmas.

Exasperated men staring blankly at kitchen appliances are a common sight at this time of year and with figures suggesting that 80% of men leave their Christmas shopping until the very last minute, retailers are predicting bumper sales of all the crap they can’t normally shift.

“Checkout queues at this time of year are predominantly made up of men carrying an array of monstrosities that are likely to leave their wives or girlfriends massively disappointed,” revealed Stephen Robertson of the British Retail Consortium.

“Retailers will be hoping that a combination of heavy discounts and absolute desperation could lead to a late surge in sales that will surpass previous years.

“Piling up all the items that make women angry, and placing them in a section called ‘Gifts She’ll Love’ is proving to be a hugely successful marketing strategy,” he added.

32 year old Gavin Henderson was one of millions of men heading towards the High Street to buy lots of anything that’s still left.

“Shyt, shyt, shyt, shyt, shyt,” he told us.

“Which of these do you think she’ll prefer – The Bumper Book of Chuck Norris Facts, a Tyson Fury calendar or Jeremy Clarkson Catapults a Nissan Micra Into a Quarry 4?

“Sod it! It’s Christmas. I’ll get her all three.”....

Mick, I'm with you. I like spending money on SWMBO and my Lad. Oh and my Brother as well. The rest can just F.Off.

But SWMBO has it in her head that we have to buy presents for every man & his dog within the continent of Europe.

Yes, (in the style of Monty Python), "I'm Scrooge"

Defo must be a woman thing Dom , my missus is the same ....

For other people's kids we stopped at 18. The only exception being a 21st prezzie.
Christmas becomes a stressful chore if you buy prezzies for every family member forevermore.

Bah humbug.

I also told everyone that we were skint this year as we are all off to Finland skiing on Boxing Day..  Previously..
