A Short Note About Christmas

[miss_s_b]

Those of you who have been following me for a while will have seen this coming, I suspect.

I don't do Christmas. I detest it. Holly goes to her dad's so she can do it without Scrooge McMummy ruining it for her, and Mat and I generally stay in bed and avoid the whole boiling, only emerging for the Doctor Who Christmas Special (magister likes Christmas, but he is going to his mum's). I don't buy Christmas cards or presents (even if I did, I couldn't afford to this year), and I don't expect to get any either.

However, experience tells me that even with all this insistence, someone will insist on sending me stuff anyway, so I shall say this:

If you want to give me something for my birthday, which is the 27th of December, the most useful gift would be money; I am going to have to have at least a month off work when Gideon gets operated on, and I am attempting to save up, which is hard given that I have more going out than coming in at the moment. If you insist on a material gift, my amazon wishlist is here, and I don't mind if you get things on it from places other than amazon.

I'll just re-iterate, though: I will be happiest with no gifts at all, because I will feel guilty about not being able to reciprocate, and my house is tiny and overflowing as it is.
