After having worked in a shop for the last 2 years, and having heard effing Christmas 'music' (i.e. performing artists persuaded by their accountants to release a Christmas song for the sake of their pensions) for the last 2 months, my ideal present would be to go back in time and elect King Herod as President and Leader of the Free World.

I have got a blu-ray film, and I am happy with that. My "present" this year is seeing the kids open theirs.

Beer and bourbon would be nice.

I will be disappointed, however, as the mum-in-law refuses to do this and insists on giving me something, no matter how often, and clearly, I ask her not to.
What I'd really like? An end to the overly-commercialed modern rigmarole and palaver that is what we now get for Christmas and a return to something far simply and less Bacchanalian, and FAR less comnercial, where the spirit was really one of giving, not receiving.
And, while I'm at it, world peace, a cure for cancer and the moon on a stick.
I picked up the things I wanted during the year, the only thing I specifically got for Christmas is a new bottle of whisky. What I want, and will get, is the chance to spend some time with the Mrs, listen to some music (finally got my Hifi sorted), spend some time in the garage practising my air pistol target shooting.
Hmm, I do not really do Christmas per se, but I've bought myself new snow sport jackets and pants. I would've bought them Christmas or not since I will need them for the next few months. The pleasant surprise is that the price of the products I needed hasn't been adjusted for the weaker pound, and as a result, for the first time, the items I've bought here is actually -cheaper- than if I was to buy it in Japan by about £100, or nearly 20% (in the past, it was close to parity) and US/Canada (not by much but they are usually much cheaper). Official RRP anyway. Yay Brexit? Well, happy holidays
I'd love a Leica Monochrom, but I know I wont be getting one so I'll settle for some socks
Nothing really, I am glad just to wake up each day in decent health!
