Default What is Santa putting in YOUR sack?

I'm getting an X Series SONY MP3/4 player.

It says that it will download BBC iPlayer stuff for me to view at a time to suit .... I have no idea what or how this works - do you just download programs on the PC? I hear some things about them having a fixed 'life' - does that mean they are only available for a certain period of time? I assume that you can keep it on the PC/MP4 Player as long as you like once downloaded?

Dunno, It's usually a nice surprise. I do send a letter to Santa by burning it in the fireplace and he surprises me with something really special if I've been reeeeaaaallllllly good thru the year

Not sure what the new missus has in store, however I have got to the stage now (approaching 30 fast!) that I ask my family for all the items I wont or struggle to buy for myself.

Bedding, socks, pants etc. Remember, all the crap as a kid you thought was awful as a present, now its what I ask for to stop me having to go shopping to buy it myself!

Either way, I'm looking forward to my first break of the year - we will shut the factory down on the 23rd and we dont come back in until the 5th, however I'm planning a sneaky holiday on the 6th for a week in the sun.

Tbh, I don't want anything materialistic It was my birthday recently, and I got bowled over by a show of extravagance in that Wifey bought me an expensive watch (not in the Yoza territory, but the most I've ever worn on my wrist!)

Anything I do fancy, I'll be buying next year - new stereo for the car (the VW radio is akin to the stereo that Subaru shipped in the classics!!! )

The one thing I do want, money can't buy. And it's being done for me as we speak.

SO, I'm a pretty happy bunny

This year Santa has/is getting me.

Oris Divers watch (Got last week)
Nissan 370Z (Getting 19 December)
Plasma TV (Getting late Dec/early Jan)

But due to the recession, the fat B*stard is making me buy them myself.

Seems a shame to know what your Christmas presents are before the day-nothing to look forward to then.

A pair of Ugg boots and some surprises as usual. Nothing major as we would rather spend it on the kids. For me, they make Christmas what it is, and if I had nothing I would be happy as long as I could see them open their pressies off Santa.
