Not bad. :)
.... which comprises of nothing at all lol. Seriously. My wife and me just do Christmas for our five kids. Some people probably find it a bit weird that we don't buy anything for each other but it's just the way we are. T'wife doesn't like surprises and I want for nothing - the happiness and good health of my wife and kids is all I ask for. We tend to buy stuff as and when we need it (obviously have to save for some things). :D
I got a deluxe box of chocolates from my bosses boss
a bottle of JD from a couple at work whose car I helped with when it got damaged (that was a surprise)
2 foot long boxes of jaffa cakes, a new wallet (with money) , some sweets
folks gave me some money.
I treated myself to a bundle of audio plugins that were on offer.. I always buy at xmas as they do sales
No, it was a bottle of Mr Matey Bubble Bobble Bath. Close though lol :razz:

yay
But it's somehow not the same without getting a couple of speccy games on casette
one of my bro's gave me a book of promo posters of early exploitation films, another gave me an egg box with 6 chocolate balls in, the other gave me nothing
my mum gave me a nutri-bullet blender juice maker thing which looks ace, my dad gave me some cash.
The bad news is they are christmas socks which means I can never wear them out during the year for fear of being mocked.
Complete Harry Potter DVDs,
15 cds from the cat.
A BIG box of Maltezers.
And the Queen gave me the crown Jewels, although I'm not sure where to put them yet !
Yep exactly the same here (except we only have two kids, can't even cope with them let alone five!)
People think we're weird, but **** 'em! :razz:
Some people would find that odd but i think that's a perfectly sensible thing to do:smile:
The kids got the motherload of smaller gifts(i.e. no BIG pressie was wanted likes bikes or whatever) so that's all that matters really.
I got a got good haul of Beers - a lot of funny labeled ones too(St. Bernadus, Trooper - things like that), socks, money, couple of t-shirts.
Most importantly though - the outlaws didn't have what's become a traditional falling out whenever everyones together :) so that was good.(there's still today though mind you....)
I remembered to take my (ZX)DS with me yesterday - and then forgot to have my Christmas game of Penetrator which was a bit annoying. Still - I built a few Lego kits with the kids so not a complete lack of "something christmassy like when I was a kid".
but the wife and kids have just gone out with the inlaws so its game time :D:-D
