Christmas is coming do you buy your own present?
We don't have gift giving tradition in the family so I'll buy my own present I guess. The good thing about that is that you get what you really want.
How about you? Anything you like to be given as your Christmas present? Sure you can tell us, we'll keep it a secret

 We've stopped giving gifts in our family a few years ago when we realised that everyone had next to everything they wanted and finding a useful present really became a PITA.

My wife is looking around for a nice Humidor to buy for me.
My gift to myself will likely be a bottle of Amaretto and a bunch of nice cigars. moderation... of course.

I'm looking for one too but for Christmas I'll buy myself a board game but perhaps a WWII book tooand since I'm not a sophisticated WWII buff I probably would prefer a complete general encyclopedia http://www.amazon.com/Land-Warfare-A.../dp/1592238297 http://www.amazon.com/Air-Warfare-Wo...d_bxgy_b_img_c I already own the sea warfare and the content satisfies me enough. I lost track of Land warfare though and I think it may have been sold. Not happy with the price though. In Amazon they're listed at 30 bucks but in local bookstore they are selling for a little less than 70 bucks Book hunting is thrilling no not the online kind of book shopping but rather browsing racks(shelves) of books in your favorite section of the store and it's almost like an orgy especially when you found books that met your criteria and at the right price [drool, what a sexy book then it came across you to lick it but there's people who might notice LOL] And I don't believe in e-books, frankly e-books disgust me.....I like the feel of my book and the looks of my book on the shelve at home and not having to concern myself about battery in order to read them.

However , due to the pall of gift-sock-probablility hanging over December, this particular investment in the sock market must wait. Brave man, Platapus. Brave.

If you wear the same basic stuff every day, it's worth it.  Edit: and I should add that should you lose or wear out just one sock... you just tuck it to the side of the drawer until you (inevitably) lose or wear out another. Then put the two leftover singles together, instant perfectly matched pair! No more tossing one sock because it no longer has a mate. |
