Ive done all of mine and all of my mum's for her too - the advantage of being unemployed :)
Ordered most of mine, just waiting delivery. Internet is great - no shops, no queues at ATM's, no stupid Doris's dragging around 10 kids with them getting in the way...

I think I might give the whole gifts thing a miss this year.
Will tell the family after they've given me gifts though.
I hope they understand.

I finished mine on Saturday :)
I now plan to spend Christmas Eve In a pub (preferably with a fireplace and a view of a busy shopping area) laughing at the last minute shoppers. :p

Have nearly all mine. Need your advice though.
My godson Shakedown's 23. Interests - Martial Arts, Athlone Town, Liverpool, Music, pints, women (has a gorgeous girlfriend though so he's behaving himself), X Box ( has everything in that genre) along with loads of other things.
I want to surprise him this year - anyone got any ideas?? I'm giving him money and music gift tokens and so on but I'm looking for that something special.
Really would apreciate any advice as many of youse are in his age group.

Yep, she sure is. I've the two of them a little spoiled but sure, it's Christmas. In fact her Newcastle United stuff arrived half an hour ago by special delivery. They're a lot quicker tha West Ham's shop - waiting for stuff from them which I ordered before I ordered from the Toon. Just a few little things for myself, y'know.

Given that they were one of the favourites to go straight back down, they're doing okish. Still not convinced by Pardew TBH. They still play nice football though, in keeping with the Hammers tradition of mplaying attractive footie - -"the academy of football".
Still thinking about what I'll get Shakedown. Since he's my godson, do you think I should also buy a pressy for his girlfrend too Sligoman???:confused: She's a fine looking bird with the cutest ass you ever did see - don't worry I told him that myself.:D
