| What did Santa bring you? Well here in the UK we have just under an hour to go before Christmas day is finally over, so I thought this would be a good time to reflect on the good (and no so good) things Santa and anyone else have gift wrapped for you today. Looking back I must of been a really good boy this year (to my utter surprise I must add ) as I got....
So how did you do? |

| Re: What did Santa bring you? I've got to say out of all those LP's I've only heard of Van Morison and the Byrds, which either means I'm too old, too young or just not cultured enough. I'll leave the rest of you do decide that one.... |

| Re: What did Santa bring you? Not very much since I am to old to need much anymore and do not want my kids to spend on me money that they could spend on there kids and as for my wife I tell her I do not need anything and do not want her spending on me to spend it on the kids and grandkids. I have all my kids except one here with me not only on christmas but every Sunday for dinner like I did with my grandparents when I was a kid, which to me is the best thing anyone could have. I am not rich but I have more money than I need for just the have to have or I would not be on the interent. I have this site to go to and bug someone when I bored. So I consider myself better of than 90 percent of others including those that have alot money so why do I need christmas gift God has already given me what counts. There is nothing like the smile when a grandchild says grandpaw. |
