Hope everybody had a good and safe Christmas Day.
Thought I would start a thread on presents received good, bad, weird, inappropriate etc.
So here is my selection for this year.
My daughter giving my son a pretty substantial first aid kit on the day he is flying out for a skiing trip. His response was that he was covered by insurance. Seems more appropriate for a camping trip she is planning so perhaps just a cunning plan to borrow it.
My better half was very excited to become the owner of a IPhone 5 meaning she is no longer using her daughters hand me up which had problems being heard or even sending a text ( 2 problems I have but with me probably not technical issues).
9 pairs of socks for me this year {sm2}. I think it is a personal record after doing so well in not getting socks in previous years.
However most inappropriate present a family member received was my step son's gift from his boss of 15 years. Step son is Muslim by marriage and his boss has met his wife. No way he does not know they are Muslim. So he decides to give them a cooked ham for Christmas. Step son most unimpressed.
My Dad got a very slightly used Zulu movie book{sm4}
Well enough of the chit chat as some Boxing Day Sale action planned followed by The Hobbit or The Water Diviner.
