Okay, very unoriginal, and probably not the first on here. But oh well.
Could turn out to be quite funny.
Any exciting stories about presents in bad taste, timing or choice?

My parents thought I might like a CD of Mike Flowers Pops. They thought wrong.

I was thinking of sponsering a child or a dog this year.

Sponsoring is a good thing. Children are more important than animals though, in my humble opinion.miss hellfire wrote:rts wrote:With some people around the world likely to get fuck all over Christmas, I say quit your winging and be happy with what you get.

Joking aside, the Christmas Message is something of genuine significance to me, and although I'm not religious, I think it's important that the true spirit of Christmas is encouraged.
Neither does sponsoring children of parents in Africa (or elsewhere) whose culture encouraging them to knock out 15 kids despite knowing they have little enough food for themselves. UNICEF handouts don'd help to change that, it simply perpetuates it.nodnirG kraM wrote:Not whinging about questionable presents isn't going to cure the world's distribution of wealth, I say continue your whinging and have a laugh.

The same attitude exists in developed countries where those least able to afford to bring up children have the most, and expect others to pay!
Lorna, an animal is much more worthwhile to sponsor. I sponsor a dog and have done for quite a few years. For a small outlay it's very rewarding to know!
I agree with Gridiron though, this is a time to be cheerful, not moan about christmas or anything else!
