So what's Father Christmas bringing y'all this year?
Firstly, I apologise to anyone who doesn't celebrate or believe in Christmas. You're more than welcome to skip this thread.
So the "big day" is rapidly approaching again - this year seemingly having passed more quicky than all those previous, unfortunately - and I wondered what everyone was hoping or expecting to receive.
This could be stuff you've asked or hope for, or it could be stuff you seem to receive every year, without fail, from a friend or relative.
Yeah, I know we're all (mostly and/or debatably) adults, but in my experience "asking for stuff" isn't a practise limited only to children. Lots of people exchange gifts at this time of the year, and some are so inclined as to seek to ensure what they buy will be at least semi-useful and/or appreciated by the recipient.
So lets have it, if you will: what are you hoping Santa has in his sack?
For me?
It's the first year I really haven't been able to think of anything I want. I'll admit I'm quite badly in need of some new clothes, and I can't walk around in these rags forever. When approached by my parents I hinted at my penchant for check-shirts; I like the trucker/lumberjack look, from time-to-time. Hence the beard (to the extent I'm able to grow one, anyway, lol).
Beyond that, an assortment of spirits (of the beverage variety - I'm no Scrooge): probably a whole lot of whisky (probably Scotch; American Bourbon is alright, but not my preference, usually), some old navy rum, and perhaps some gin. I foresee some strong dark ales in my stocking, too (among a few lumps of coal, nuts and and my annual Orange).
I expect I'll wake up to some nice cigars, too. Unfortunately, by the time Boxing Day comes, all that'll likely remain is empty cases, and a throat so raw I'll talk like Tom Waits sings.
(I'm not a very health-conscious young man, but I do have class and good taste - or so I like to believe. )
Beyond that, who knows?
What about you good people?
