My big sister is 27 on December 22nd, plus Christmas. Still not bought owt. She wants GHD hair straighteners I think it is but she's got no chance. I have been looking online and they are like £100+

Mother Benteke always says she doesn't want anything but I'll buy her something anyway. Not sure what.

Me and my dad are on the same level, we both think buying presents for the sake of it because it's Christmas is silly.

But it was his birthday on December 5th, so I'm taking daddy Benteke to a soccer match this Sunday. I wanted to go to the match with him anyway. Killing two birds with one stone

I bought a thing for my future in-laws today but still have no idea what to get everyone else in my life.

All I want for Christmas is to get tipsy with some good people, spin some great records, get a lot of sleep, and gather a lot of affection from the one I love.

I'm just so over the whole Christmas thing as it is.

I've garnered a reputation for my lack of holiday enthusiasm and being a ****ty gift-giver... this year I think I've done it right. I made some nice things for some people, the best of which by far is probably a pair of shorts that I decorated with rainbow stripes around the legs for Annie, my mom's girlfriend. It's her kind of thing. I did good this year, I hope

Man, screw Christmas. I'm getting my parents a bottle of wine and that's it. Can't waste money on people I hardly talk to, family wise.

same.

I get one-upped by everyone every year and it's less irritation to go simple and know you're going simple.

I haven't really felt excited for Christmas at all this year. But when I opened the fridge, I saw a Ziplock bag with blocks of smoked Gouda, aged Dutch cheese, Brie, and some other types that have onions and stuff in them. On the bag it said 'for Christmas Eve'.

Needless to say I'm excited for Christmas now.

This Christmas I wrote heartfelt letters for people that I care about the very most (and even some I don't really talk to, but you have to start somewhere and you never know who needs a little extra encouragement during the holiday season).

I also asked three of my very favorite ladies (who will hopefully someday be my sisters-in-law) what their favorite types of candies/treats were, filled three custom-constructed baskets full of their absolute favorite goodies and the whole damn thing looks so cute. I'm so excited for Christmas this year.
