Christmas shopping

[Stylo]

Who's still doing their shopping for presents and how much have you spent so far ?

Was interested today on the reports of transactions in the retail sector, silly numbers something like 120+ per second. Probably be higher tomorrow.

I've managed to get our household on the same page. No presents, we'll go out for a hike and a picnic on Christmas day instead, depending on the weather. No presents or TV or radio ad's equals no pressure too. Just like last year.

Done mine. This is the first xmas for 15 odd years that I am not running a retail shop. Fcuk I don't miss it one bit. Please be nice to the retail slaves, they just want to have a great xmas with their whanau the same as you. Spinning out at them because that special gift you thought of for the wife two weeks ago has sold out on xmas eve isn't their fault.

Merry christmas

[JATZ]

I nailed my Xmas shopping a couple of weeks ago :headbang:
Booked myself an ocean cruise for Xmas day :D

I don't like anybody therefore xmas shopping didn't take me long...

[Akzle]

"christ's mass" is actually a christianisation of a pagan shrooming festival. So a) fuck christians and their crusading faggotry. And b) im well in keeping with the ORIGINAL spirit of the //Ooohhh follow the pretty unicorn....

Ive spent fuckall that i wouldnt otherwise have. This "gift giving" horseshit is just that. I give people the gift of my time (and some (sorry svbitch and husafag: not you) the gift of my penis), which is worth way more than money.

On a side note, who wants to get axz wuuuuuaaaaasted for new years?

[Akzle]

I have no friends therefore xmas shopping didn't take me long...

f.i.f.y .

[Gremlin]

No shopping, but thank goodness for late night. Swung by T7 in Sylvia Park on Monday night at 8.30pm. Parked right outside, went in and exchange brake pads (for ones that actually fitted my mountain bike :facepalm:) and I was out in 5-10 minutes.

Laughed my arse off today at the news report that in England some places had people stuck for 6 hrs trying to get out of the mall car park :laugh: Some abandoned their cars and went back inside.

Probably still do some work tomorrow... amazingly enough we haven't had a single client rush us with a "need before Christmas" job. Seems quite cruisy. Must be the calm before the storm :confused: (actually Jan to April is looking ugly)

[Oakie]

Sorted. Mrs Oakie does it all for the whanau without even asking for my input and at the end I tell her what a great job she's done. We don't buy for each other so it's perfect!

Christmas shopping is for retailers and believers of a fallacy or fairy tale events portrayed in one of the world best selling books.
Some even make a living expounding the content within a series of fable written by drunken monks and suseqently included in the book of fables
Retailers soon caught onto this idea and we should all give gifts to all and sundry to celebrate the birth of a fictitious person
The mind boggles at the fact that people will still spend excessive amounts of money to appease the needs of their family and friends to show how much they mean or they care about them for one day celebrating a fable.
Surely we dont need this crap for 1 day of the year to share our love for family and friends
sorry all but if you can only do it one day of the year then its all fake

just saying

Criminals are allowed them - you get anything you want off them for a price - you have to tie it down though or they will just nick it back! :rolleyes:

[Laava]

One of my neighbours mail ordered one and it got delivered! He has actually subsequently been locked up for shooting at the neighbouring property with an SKS he wasn't licensed for. Hope they give him a nice meal on his tin tray tomorrow!

[IkieBikie]

...I think the person may not have been fictitiious, but everything from the moment he appeared is and mostly for political reasons...who's to say the three headed elephant isn't the real saviour of the universe...or Flash Gordon...no chrysalis shit happens at my place, but I still have to put up with the idiot sisters in law all day though...another reason to want to lock myself in the shed all day and not come out...fuck xmas...

[Akzle]

[SVboy]
