I miss being a kid at Xmas. I was at my Aunties house last night for dinner and was (selfishly) aghast at the ludicrous mountain of presents under their equally ludicrously sized tree. The only have two kids, so my rough calculation nets them roughly 30 presents each. In contrast, I had a look at our own 30cm plastic tree when I got home last night. It was a sobering sight - just three presents. One for my partner, one for me, and one for our cat.

[/mope]

I paint a depressing picture, but I'd be honestly happier if they scrapped the whole present system and just focused on the family get-together. Of course, I wasn't prepared to endorse a spartan Xmas 15 years ago...

So - In the spirit of the rampant, commercial bastardisation of this most retail of holidays, what loot did you get today? What did you give to other people?

I got...

  • 'The God Delusion' - Richard Dawkins
  • A diary
  • A new suit (yet to be bought)
  • Some beer
  • Family Guy Season 7
  • Hoyts tickets
  • Westfield Voucher
I gave...

  • Photography course (to my partner)
  • Beer (to my Dad)
  • DVDs (to my sister)
  • Towels (to my step sister)
  • A cat nip infused toy (to my [self-evident])
 
I only know a few of the things so far.

JB Hi-Fi $100 gift voucher (likely)
Vodka (likely)
Tickets to Leonard Cohen this January
Tickets to the All Tomorrows Parties Festival, headlined by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

That's all I know, or have a decent idea of. We don't get our pressies until after Christmas lunch. :(
