Spent last 5 hours wrapping Christmas presents...now im on the Brandy, ask me a question.....

Sounds like fun....your family is very lucky to have you!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I love wrapping gifts, buying them I dont like.

Shopping is too damn stressful.

Me as in ME The individual?

Sorry if I misinterpreted your question... care to elaborate on what you actually mean?

I've drank alot( which I don't normaly do, only when I feeling festive/special occasion)

Hence my IQ is about 90 at the moment!

Exactly this.

My hard core wrapping days are over since the kids are grown and in other parts of the country. I miss it. Good times and good memories. Merry Christmas to you, OP!

Do you believe in Santa Claus?

If I were a drinker, that's probably what I would have, I guess. I used to drink something called Amaretto. Did you ever have that? I think I put some sort of cream in it. It was really tasty.

Then, later on, I moved on to the harder stuff. lol

Will you be making homemade Christmas cookies?

Good for you! Cheers to an occasional wifey/mommy break.

What was the coolest gift or gadget you bought for Christmas?

your thread made me run to the (state owned) PA liquor store to get some spirits.
thanks

I remember great family Christmases growing up and I gave many to my kids growing to teens

No more Christmas or presents

I have a few bucks this year after years of UN or underemployment and foreclosure.

Christmas has little meaning after shopping at yardsales for years.

It is a wonderful feeling to have something to give.

Enjoy OP and be blessed

IDK - I see now how people HATE Christmas- Always my favorite until I had nothing to give and not enough to travel and see family.

Thank god they have modest but sweet times together.

WRAPPING for 5 hours is just boasting - it's great to know people still celebrate like that and even have money for paper- it gives me hope if there is still Christmas somewhere.

good for you. I can't even start shopping until payday on 12/17.

Dammit, I was thinking Brandy was a girl

Two words: Gift Bags.

🍷Cheers OP!!

Brandy is a fag beverage.

What??????

Are you not on the pisser all night?

I swear there is a conspiracy in there with the cellphane thing. It drives me up the wall when I cannot find the end of the tape since it's stuck to the roll. So, I try really hard to not let this happen. I usually make sure that I curl the tape over in one corner so I can find it easily.

He meant, what did you buy him? lol

Brandy brain is the best

Well, I'll have you know that I am a heterosexual woman.

Quick...from where is Armagnac?

I think I'll wait to hit the booze until after I see my Mastercard bill.

I actually enjoy wrapping presents, got most my wrapping done for our four year old while I watched her dad play farcry.

Is a pocket pussy a good christmas gift?

SHIT MAN... RETINAL DETACHMENT???
Dame..hope you got that sorted now???

I rarely drink.. but i can drink Brandy neat...pretty much untill the Cows come home/or i pass out...

But Whisky..ugggrr..I had a Really bad experience with Wisky on my 13th birthday, now i can't touch the stuff, can't even handle the slightest smell of it, makes me instantly heave....

Anywayz..Back to Xmas.lol.

No Star Wars stuff for my kids this year, my boys are into Minecraft and Mario bro's this year.

But last year I did get my son a 4ft Darth Vaider..(tbh i think it's ment to be a collector's item and not played with?)
But Big Darth has poseable arms n legs and my daughter(4) loves him, shes always got him out for play, beats him up..does Ballet dancing with him....

Last Xmas we also got Star Wars Lego torches/night lights for our boys...
They are the large ones, they come with stands so they also act as night lights.
From the Star Wars Series we have Darth Vaider and a Storm Trooper... I totally recommend them

My kids love Lego in general, and these night lights are basically giant lego characters, so if ya have a few you can mix the characters up.

We also have Super Man, Batman and the Joker, so my kids swap their hair/capes/heads,stands.. also the bulbs are LEDs, so the batteries last forever..They are very robust..my kids are brutal with everything..although they are quite pricey they are worth it IMHO.

From a cosmetic point of view they also look really awesome on my boys bedroom shelfs on display....
P.s...Sorry for that babbling,im now rather drunk!

Disclaimer... I don't work for lego! Lol

Awww thank you!
A very merry Christmas to you and yours too..

Merry Christmas to you all in fact!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, brandi was my favorite virgin when I was 22yo. Italian chick. So opie, you're just taking my sloppy seconds. Or thirds, fourth, fifth, who knows. Hahaha. Jk opiex I love me some brandy. There a few napa valley wine makers that I know that diddle into making brandy. I live in alabama and used to be a wine rep for high end wines and they would bring me presents when they came here to solicit their goods....

but only for fellow scrooges.

I just finished mine yesterday, paper cuts and all...
