SHIT! I haven't got my parents anything.
And you know what, i don't even know what they might need or want. I am so far removed from their lives i have no fucking idea. We talk on the phone maybe once a month. Maybe. And i haven't seen them in 14 months. I am a terrible son. I haven't spent christmas with my family in probably 4 years, but it might actually be 5.
I stopped buying for my sisters a couple of decades ago.
I always get my younger brother a decent present. He’s a tradIe who, as he has 5 kids, 3 of whom he’s put through uni with the last 2 due in the next couple of years, never has anything left for himself. He’s a great Dad and never expects much. A couple of Christmases ago I convinced Mrs JC to let me buy him the car he always wanted. It was worth it just to see the look on his face when he drives it. In return I expect him to research and buy me the best bottle of wine he can find for under 30 bucks.

i solved both my issues from below in one bit of online shopping over a great bottle of wine last night. so i am again back in
anyone else seemingly a little light on christmas spirit? i guess the fact i am working through, and therefore don't have a break to look forward to, is hampering it a bit.

@dogmeat Loved that story, what a great way to celebrate your Mum, the Dragon.
My parents, well TBH my Mum, is similar, she just goes bonkers over Xmas and the poor grand kids get a huge "Santa Sack" and more of just crap.
My brothers who all have two kids, I have just one, end up with so much shite they know the kids won't bother to play with and every year there is always a cheap water gun that you know will break after 5 minutes of use.
You should see the amount of Xmas related shite in their house, multiples of every type of Xmas themed plates, cutlery, table cloths, decorations, giant santas, etc, etc!
Drives us all absolute nuts and she won't throw anything away when we go there to try to clean up.
Fuck me, if I turn out like that when I get to their age, just shoot me please!

In her day she was mighty fine, still an attractive older woman for sure.

Dear Penthouse
I always thought these letters were just made up, and never happened to anyone, that was until two weeks ago when...
