:D What is on your Christmas wishlist this year? in terms of presents for yourselves and what are you buying for others, what do you want Christmas to be like this year, are you having a quiet one or a big family get together. Have you already started organizing Christmas? i know mine will only start mid November, i may buy a few gifts but the bulk will be late November

    I asked my daughter to list some of the things she wants this year, that mostly consists of chocolate, biscuits and CD's :D She has no idea what she wants as her 'main' present, neither do I! I won't be purchasing anything until the end of November, at least.

    Other than that, no Christmas music, decoration, etc. is allowed in this house until 1 week before Christmas.

    We shall, however, be enjoying it more as my Mum is still alive this Christmas when that wasn't a given, so it will feel extra special and that is my present this year, knowing she's still around :)

    I'd like the same as I do every year - PJs and fluffy socks! I'm EXTREMELY easy to buy for. :D
    I would like a Hudl 2 aswell but I'll probably get myself one sometime after Christmas.

    I've ordered my sister and sister-in-law a 'hers n hers' calender

    http://www.gettingpersonal.co.uk/gifts/personalised-calendar-hers-and-hers.htm?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_feed&utm_campaign=froogle&gclid=CIXlrIuzyMECFSgFwwodOHkABQ

    and my niece will be getting a shedload of One Direction merchandise, assuming she hasn't gone off them.

    A bottle of Jack Daniels for him and some sloe gin for me - merry Christmas one and all *hic*

    My Christmas wish list is for Christmas not to exist (for me at least). Alas, my OH's family love it, so I can't avoid it. I might grab myself a Yankee Christmas candle or two as the scents are nice, and maybe, just maybe, a Yankee Christmas advent calendar.

    As for his family... Disney's Frozen stuff for the two adult female sisters (they love it and won't be expecting a gift relating to it) and other little girlie bits. His mum, a few Yankee candles, dunno about his dad, and his younger brother, I have no idea yet. I generally only send out cards to my family (his as well ofc), but if there's anything I know my sisters would love to have, I get it for them as a surprise. And my grandparents, a flower arrangement just because I love them to pieces.

    And before anyone says, I don't want nor expect gifts for Christmas, either. Me and my partner don't exchange gifts, and generally just buy stuff in the sales after Christmas.

    I'd like my health and for my family not to be such cretins about the whole festive period.

    I very much doubt either will happen so I might just barricade myself in my bedroom and watch TV or dabble on teh interwebs.

    I don't have one this year. The kids are getting cash and I've suggested to my husband that we go out for a meal or to the theater. I'll probably buy something to send to my son in Canada, usually some "No Fear" apparel and a bit of choccy.

    I would like to move to a bungalow with a garden in the next county for chistmas but no chance of that.

    Oldest daughter is hosting christmas and it's normally a big family together but she's moved away this year so i'm not sure how many we will be.

    I have 12 grandchildren and stopped buying presents in favour of a day out somewhere after Christmas being spoiled by nanny.

    Wow 12 grand children that must keep you busy a day out somewhere is a great idea. My cousins have a lot of young children and a few of their birthdays are in December so it can get very expensive for family members. I will suggest a day out they might appreciate that more than having so many presents they don't know where to start which normally happens.

    Another of my tricks is to fill a gift bag with party bag fillers and loose sweets (where appropriate) or fruit or a load of cheap art stuff from the works, or jokes and tricks they invariably are delighted.

    Poundland has some good stuff for the job.

    Nothing really at the moment. Probably some music and DVDs. They tend to be staples on my list every year. :)

    Money will do for me. Comes in handy.

    I don't really take part in the winter trading festival these days and I'm sure the TV adverts will drive me nuts.

    A nice Christmas dinner, just me Dad and his partner would be nice, but I don't tend to visit Devon at Christmas these days, as the train fares are extortionate and the trains crowded. Plus, the weather is usually pretty crap at that time and the days are short, so there is not much opportunity to go sightseeing.

    Books is always on my list as I read a couple every week. My husband always makes me CDs. Whatever it is that I'm listening to a lot, he will hunt down B sides, rarities, live recordings etc on the internet and make me CDs, he's pretty ace like that. He even makes proper covers!

    I'm buying him new t shirts as he's lost a bit of his middle aged spread and his t shirts are all a bit baggy now so I'll search the web for band t shirts that I think he'll like.

    My son wants a new fangled smart phone that does everything but clean the house.

    My wish is simple and it won't cost anything - I simply wish to be around all my family that are here today (including my 90 year old Dad) and those that are on their way!

    A 'delete user' button on DS.
    Doubt I'd get much chance to use it though :D

    A method of delivering electric shocks down the phone.

    Enough alcohol of any flavour to fell several herds of elephants
    and an elephant rifle.
