Nowt and nowt, though we haven't had ours yet... but when we do (when my sister comes home in a few days) it will only be trinkets at best... nothing big. For me, the true gifts of Christmas are the company and the memories, so to that end me and my mum went to the carol singing together in the town centre on Christmas Eve... memorable highlights (and lowlights
) included turning around to find a donkey walking through the crowd right behind us, and trying to keep a straight face when, packed in like sardines I farted fairly loudly
And then, on Christmas Day, going for a nice long walk with my dad, including looking out over a babbling brook at a beautiful blue, grey, and yellow night sky... it was just a lovely evening and probably the mildest Christmas I've ever known... it was wonderful... just like spring rather than winter... and made me want to change the words of that song to 'I'm dreaming of a mild Christmas, just like the one's we've never known'
So as far as I'm concerned it's been a great Christmas, and those memories will last much longer than say a DVD or whatever that would be forgotten within a month.
