What I don’t want for Christmas
Published 9 months ago in My life.I noticed in my Leader paper this week they were asking people what was the best present they got for Christmas. I think it’s interesting to know what the worst present you’ve ever got would be. Mine would be a diary from an office Kris Kringle. It was basically his diary for the following year that he got through work.

This was a birthday present off an old boss. It was a set of three little clear plastic containers that had candy pink lids with little spoons,on a clear plastic tray. You can pick these up at any $2 shop if any one wants to get some.
I realise I am responding to the title, not the text, but what I dont want for Christmas is bloody adverts. It’s still NOVEMBER. All Christmas advertising should be banned until December, preferably 15th.
If you are religious it is a festival. If you are not then it is a holiday.
Either way, we should not get constantly bombarded with adverts to buy this, eat this, drink this. All of which just adds to the stress.
Left to their own, all Aussies would probaby have a better Christmas - and enjoy it more too.
Isn’t that whats it’s about ?
what i dont want for christmas is another of daves sexy nurse outfits. i would love some cool bottle green silk underwear. or maybe a box of slim cigars. or a chess set carved in jade. anything that doesnt make me look like a french maid bimbo. i bloody hate him sometimes.
One set of bosses ( husband and wife) gave me a Nutcracker. It was wooden and shaped like a tin soldier. and you pulled the lever at the back and his jaw dropped down, like some evil thing from trilogy. The calico apron was stained and the paint chipped and I remembered them telling me a year or so before that an aunty had given them a terrible present once a nutcracker !!!!! I worked out my value after that gift and looked for another job.
All i want for christmas, is peace and love
a new car, a new motorbike, a new caravan, a new boat, and perhaps- seeing that the mayor no longer has a lady mayoress…

Any present that people just buy for the sake of giving you something, which is a lot of stuff I’ve been given, stuff thats so good I don’t even remember it. For some years now I tell most people if you must insist on giving me something, cold hard cash is what I prefer, that applies to birthdays as much as christmas.
Equally I hate giving presents to other people too, except for my kids, (now that fun) and ex no.2. I think Christmas would be much more fun if we only bought for ourselves.
Gosh - how many nurses outfits does a girl need Mercy?!
I can’t recall a Chrissie present bad enough to make a memory - reminds me of the slipper socks joke from “The Ref”.
I had one friend who, upon receiving every present, shook it enthusiastically and cried “it’s not a terrarium is it?” which was very funny until the time it WAS in fact a terrarium - they don’t look that great after a good shake it turns out!!
thing is gadfly they dont last longer than one night. yknow tear the wrapper off and give the toy a go. pressies should last longer wouldnt you say. even terrariums. is that like a geranium.
Mmm - I did imagine that non-genuine nurses outfits may have a reduced shelf life! Terrariums are small strange gardens contained in a glass or perspex container. Little collections of pebbles, moss and very small growing plants - always seemed a bit cruel to me - like those poor tortured bonsai trees. Actually we have a Torana outside that seems to be becoming one at the moment!
hi gadfly. it just occurred to me that your torana and daves underdaks may have something in common. ho hum.
