That Time of Year...

My husband and his son were discussing Christmas this weekend:























Son: What d'you want for Christmas then Dad?

Dad: I dunno something useful ... gloves, scarves .... they're always good

Son: A scarf then ... would you like one like the one you gave me last year?

Dad: That was a really nice scarf that was  ... Welsh wool ... very good quality 

Son: I could let you have that one if you like, I've never worn it.

Dad: Sounds great - yeah all right

Christmas - sorted!

  6. That sounds brilliant. Maybe next year they could save time by each buying something they wants then swapping them to give to each other.

  11. Bill, the main thing is to check that cookery book hasn't been signed to you before you pass it on.

    Sav, does that sort of thing go on in your household?

    Scarls - they sound great but I gave up doing cards a while back.

    Dinah - d'you think she is? I shall quiz the minx

    LX - exactly - perfect fit!

    I have long been the advocate of a scheme whereby we all agree to spend a few quid on ourselves then get happy together.

  12. The post-modern spin on "it is more blessed to give than to receive" would be "it is more blessed to regift than to give."
