With all the usual ceremony of shopping, spending and celebrating, Christmas is once again aproaching and with it the prospect of receiving yet more pairs of musical socks or badly fitting jumpers wrapped in gaudy, overpriced seasonal paper.
Wouldn't it be lovely if we actually received things we wanted. To this end I ask what would people like to see in their stockings? (keep it clean - well mostly clean, oily bits are allowed).
When reading everyones comments one can call gently to the other half "look at this, Fred wants a XXXXX" in the hope that they will also read your post which just happens to be next on the screen saying how much you would like a YYYYY. This way you might actually get that left handed thrunging washer you've lusted after for so many years.
Am I being too subtle? If nothing else, this might be an interesting thread.
Of course you could all be as sad as us and buy our own presents. It does take the expectation out of the day but at least I can guarantee to get a genuine left hand thrunging washer not yet another right handed one to join the growing pile I've received over the last ?? years.
