To all you Marmite lovers


Santa loves me.

Ho Ho Ho !!!

Someone thought I would like a leopards skin purse (UK meaning) with pink patent leather trim and gold clasp. I hate pink and despise anything that might be favoured by a street walker...

I received a lovely wet/dry shop vacuum from my handyman hubby. Sooo special...

Next year he might get some cute shoes in my size

I got my wife one of them for christmas too some years back, I did not have sex for months after that, can't understand the reaction, she had been hinting for months that she wanted a vacuum cleaner..

I got a Wii Fit. I asked for it especially. And then my husband bought me the Alice in Wonderland game, which is way over my head!

My husband bought me a Adana letterpress machine and a couple of packets of colour polaroid film. Definitely a great Christmas

From the same person, this year I got two different coffee mugs. Last year I got a coffee machine and the year before that I got a coffee mug.

I got a 2000-piece jigsaw puzzle, some Läderach chocolate, a hand-carved wooden die, some Sprüngli chocolate, a boxed set of four Monty Python DVDs, some Haigh's (Australian) chocolate, permission to help my son construct his Lego castle, and some generic chocolate tree decorations from Migros.
Pretty good, but not sure I got enough chocolate - there's still some left.

New merino Icebreaker for skiing, new waterproof camera case for kayaking. My children have perfect taste :-)

Well I received a bottle each of Oban, Laphroaig and Lagavulin - hic

Also a years pass into Zurich Zoo, and a 50CHF iTunes card.

While I understand that Christmas is more about giving than receiving, it is, nevertheless, a fine result

I got a GPS and a Vignette for 2011, so can not really complain either.

Doc.

Nice case for my watches, currently sipping my 1985 Glenrothes and a few ..other goodies

A very nice box of chocolates, a potato and a lump of coal, - I must try harder in 2011.

We did not get each other any presents, but gave one to charity (SOS Kinderdorf). The kids in the family of course got their fair share of small this and thats.

Did you also get a pass that enables you to leave the zoo before the end of the year?

My Christmas has been full of hearts, flowers and sparkly things

I got a baby! Ok that was 3 weeks ago, but still a novelty :-) She got more presents than the 4 adults present at christmas dinner today received put together, and she was completely oblivious. Will have to wrap them up for her again next year...

I would just save the wrapping paper and cardboard boxes, they seem far more interested in that until at least 4

And congratulations!

I got some shoes, tools, cognac, webcam, and a pen.

Heres a few pics.















Everything shown but the webcam is Swiss made.

One of my funniest Christmas presents was a shared belly laugh

Went to see my Dad in hospital today and his roommate, a sweet elderly gent, softly reached over and took my hand.
- How old do you think I am dear ?
- Oh perhaps 70 Sir ?
With a big grin and twinkle in his eye he proudly said:
- Noooooo I'm 88 but I look 72 when I'm undressed !!
and in hushed up voice he added:
.... and I left my wife at home !!
