    Nowt. Gave it up years ago. No young kids involved here, and in our family, the adults pretty much have it if they want it. So not bothering avoids large collections of clothes we won't wear, and bath products we won't use.

    Each to his ( or her) own, I guess.

    Nothing, as if I want something I'll be able to get it myself and not expect anyone else to get me something.

    I'm not opposed to giving gifts however.

    There are always a few books and other bits and pieces I'd like, but rarely anything I'm desperate for.

    Exactly the same here. This year I'll probably be working (unpaid overtime due to poor management; yay! ), so won't have time/inclination to go and see anyone either.

    But, Sainsbury were doing 25% off when buying 6 bottles of wine and I do like their Mulled Wine, so I've got that to look forward to at some point.

    Re: What are you asking for Crimbo?

    New machine heads for my flamenco guitar is my Santa order - the cheap fake gold and white plasticky bits on my current one offend me every time I look.

    Might finally treat myself to a 2560x1600 cheapy Korean monitor as my Happy-Xmas to me.

    Its all about the kids here. Looking forward to them getting over excited and having fun.

    Same as output really. If thinks are too expensive for me to buy I can't expect anyone to get it for me.

    As I ask for every xmas and birthday the only thing I really need is some peace and quiet!
