HELP! us useless christmas shoppers as the fucking time draws near....

I still really want this...I think people thought I was kidding when I mentioned it near my Birthday..Who doesn't want a water trumpet..
seriously
Gotta say I am daft enough that I would be absolutely delighted with the handicorn too...<3
 
I hate the concept of christmas, it's a capitalist holiday. I've spent £300 on presents for people, but still feel like it's not enough, like I try to undo the rest of the years wrongdoing. I bet rich people who can blow a few grand on christmas will actually feel better about themselves. If you can overwhelm someone with gifts it does make you feel better. I guess the moral of the story would be money solves all problems. This is what I have learned from society today.
 
One of the rich families I know set a £5 limit on all gifts...As for me Im getting my two little ones some fags and razor blades for a larf and the missis is getting a hoover

I bet a lot of people don't have 300£ to spend on food/rent let alone gifts - does blowing that much money make you feel better about yourself ? If you really care for the person and them you, gifts are not needed (I do not buy my husband any gifts, he does not buy me anything). Do you need to get swamped with gifts to make you feel appreciated, loved etc

Yea Bear I agree it was just a bit of dry humour but only having £300 to spend on buying people presents does make me feel a bit shit. I bet a lot of people feel the same its annoying this time of year watching others throw around lots of money when your quite skint, I've gone for the meaningful presents like framed photo's things people really wanted but don't cost a bomb.

But there's no doubt about it it's a good feeling having the money to spend, in a strange way it feels like repenting your sins.
 
"Skint" is all relative, though. There've been times I've had to decide whether to catch the bus home, walk home and have something to eat or walk home and have the fire on. Those days, thankfully, are behind me; but I can still feel skint even when by the standards of those days I would have been positively, obscenely rich. And I'm sure some people fret just as much over their share portfolios, or whatever.

I don't understand this post. Your trying to make a point of money makes you happy - but you are also demonstrating that money makes you feel horrible. How much money would you need to spend to make you happy ? The worst present for me would be the one the giver couldn't afford.

What kids don't want fags? it makes them think they are cooler than their peers, nice one Pa!

I still need to do the Xmas shopping, daughter wants a scooter, not sure what to get the wee man (he's at that age that an empty cardboard box will be sufficient).

And there you have your answer =D

Just make the most of it mate - society soon teaches them not to be content with empty boxes for long (the selfish little fuckers). We got hit with Xmas lists totalling 2 grand each this year... But you know what? Instead, I gave them both the most precious gift possible - the gift of fuckin laughter... :|

Ah i forget about this thread. This is where I shoulda vented yesterday. People turn into idiots when christmas shooping, including myself at times. Can't wait until its done n next year it'll be done earlier because I'll end up killing someone hahaha

£2000 Xmas list! Haha, they are totally taking the piss, well done in teaching them the gift of laughter you have taught well, they are obviously little jokers...

On a serious note, it's scary how materiistic we all are when it comes to Xmas and I suppose in general in the West. When you think anout it a cardboard box was once an appreciated item, we are all taught via our peers, parents the media that commercialism is somehow good, it's what we need, we need fancy trinkets, we are prepared to overspend and put ourselves into financial difficulty, the greed is good mentality. What a bunch of absolute lunatics we are.

Absolutely! This rampant, gratuitous commercialism seems to be so ingrained in our psyches that however much I try to resist it, I still find myself rushing around like a daft twat stocking up on all kinds of shit I don't usually buy, definitely don't need and can't really afford, just 'cos its xmas tomorrow innit and ya never know what might happen' - which is total bollocks as I can guarantee that a lot of shops will still be open on the 25th, and those that aren't, definitely will be the next day. So logic tells me that if I do suddenly find myself suffering intense cravings for a twiglet on Xmas morning and I've got none in, then I should just go to fuckin Tescos!
