Thought I’d start a thread so we can share all the delightful ( and the I’ll never use that ) gifts we’ve had for Christmas.
Must admit, I’m doing very well already this Christmas .
I’ve had a beautiful David Austin rose, quite a large cheque and yesterday Bob came home with a raised bed a friend made for me .
This year I'm getting a heated propagator (already arrived) and some root trainers. First time I've used either so very excited to try them in the new year.
But seriously P and I don't exchange gifts, there's no point, we buy what we want when we want it, and I tell the lad to save his money. I might get the traditional box of maltesers eventually.
We are having the back porch redone in the new year so I expect that will be classified as a Xmas pressie.
Same here JJB - and for the same reasons.
However, I've bought 3 copies of a locally published book about the heroes commemorated on the village war memorial and those that had connections with the parish that are not commemorated. One of those was an uncle that I never knew but my Mother had photos of him that have been included in the book. I'm going to give a book to his son (my cousin) who never knew his father, and one to my brother. the third copy is for me.
That's it - nothing else. No cards, do pressies, no decorations, no crackers, no festive meal..................
Bah Humbug.

You'll wonder why you never had a heated propagator before! I couldn't do without mine.
