Present for my mum this Christmas = me going home.
Present for my dad this Christmas = no nagging from my mum for 10 days, due to me being home
Present for Mrs Titchski this Chanukah/Christmas (shes "Jew-ish" so she does both
) = me not being underfoot for 10 days. I will also be buying her something nice, not sure what yet, ideas on a postcard to...
Present for me this Christmas = 10 days of booze and pork pies

Re: Christmas
First time ever we don't have to spend hours and hours travelling because of our moaning, guilt-tripping parents. Even better - I'm not going to spend Christmas at the in-laws WOO-HOO!! I'd rather shit fire than go spend Christmas with the pennsylvania hill-billies again, where you get kool-aid to drink with your instant mashed potatoes and canned ham, every other word is 'f--k or asshole' and you get shouted at for breathing too loudly, "I'm dreaming of a white trash Christmas."
Bring it on, one day off work, staying at home, eating eating eating.

You know your kids will want one:

But you're certain to regret buying it after the first 10 minutes.
