The adults in my family are generally prone to lottery gift packs. Given that I have a huge family and it's difficult to know what they're likely to want/need it suits us all to do things this way. We agreed on it a long while ago. I try to make more of an effort to get toys that the younger nephew's and nieces would enjoy. But it's at the point now where I have mostly adult nephew's and nieces and they're starting families of their own. My mum is the general exception to the rules surrounding the lottery gift packs. She usually gifts cash. She generally says not to get her anything, but instead travel down to visit when we can. The family is pretty spread out these days so it's difficult to all be around at Christmas time given that different branches of the family often have commitments to seeing the family of spouses etc.
I didn't receive your Xmas card this year? Did I say something to have been left off?

I brought my girlfriend a generic branded tv as she is only a renter and that's all she deserves. Her constant nagging forfeited the chance of her getting a nice watch. If she's lucky I might detail her Camry for her and buy some new windscreen wipers.

No fucking idea why I even looked at this thread though tbh.

Get my wife to buy all presents.

Also believe that Xmas cards & wrapping presents in paper are bullshit.

I for one am a firm believer in getting presents that people actually need although that does not include kitchen stuff for my mother as she has enough crap as it is.

Just reading some of your old posts, didn’t realise we had a Cowboys fan posting. Cowboys, Roosters and Broncos fans, have we any more? Your all welcome by the way.

Went up to Townsville and stayed in town for a couple of days a few years ago and the city was dead with plenty of empty shops etc. Ended up at leagues club and casino for food and drinks.

Never went out to the suburbs but I believe there is a Major shopping centre out there.

Am I being too harsh? Have things changed?
