As a modern day Scrooge - I don't celebrate Christmas! - I haven't for about ten years - there are too many bad memories of this time of year ( I was popular before I retired, 'cos I'd work over Christmas ).
Sadly you can't avoid being caught up in the festivities, but I avoid them as much as is politely possible.
Christmas? - bah - Humbug! :sad:

Hi Chris

A few modelling bits and bobs and books, but two interesting ones:

A motion sensitive camera to catch wildlife in the garden.

A book called "The Ship of Theseus". An unusa. Concept for a book, rather than try to explain it, here is a photo of the flyleaf:
AD576781-C70E-40D9-A0EB-84273196237D.jpeg

And a random page:

0B34ECBB-F922-43F0-9F92-0CDE8D5FB719.jpeg

In addition,throughout the book are odd things like newspaper cuttings and postcards which i suppose will all add to the story.

At the moment all I have is folding stuff as my mine will be brought in the new year once I have got my troublesome motor sorted.
 
Usual stuff, chocks, booze, odds and bits for the man cave, but this year’s biggy came three days early....clostridium dificile...I’ve been as rough as old boots for five days now and the 111 GP still says it’s just a bug....

IT seems to me that you will have nr a new engine soon if you keep replacein all the parts just out of intrest what motor is it ?
 
Apart from buying prezzies for family and very close friends, my wife and I were happy to give each other stocking fillers. Sweeties, chocolate and the obligatory Tangerine at the very bottom! Oh! I've just remembered I had a bobble hat in my stocking!

We are glad to see the back of Christmas to be honest. Pressure, people rushing about getting into all kinds of debt so little Johnny can have the latest 'must have'. etc.

I'm not religious, but the real meaning of Christmas seems to have been well and truly swept aside by commercialism and brain washing.

The main thing for me was actually getting there and seeing all the Grand and Great Grand children having a ball. That's all I need.
