I know it's kind of early but December is coming up. Anyone got any special plans for Christmas? (Sorry, does anyone here not celebrate it? ) I am going down to Stratford-Upon-Avon in England to see a play. Woo hoo. I am absolutely skint for Christmas money when it comes to buying the presents though, so I just tend to bake something for my family like a yule log or mince pies or something. Might as well find someting cheerful to talk about...

I've not got the slightest clue myself. Usually we'd have the whole of my dad's side of the family come over for Christmas dinner but I don't know if that's gonna be the case since my cousins have got their own kids now. And on Boxing day I usually go round my nan's. Everything's kinda bouncing all over the place, and I hope that my mother's leg op will come after the holidays, not on them.
I'm on a bit of a tight budget too, but at least I got at least one present for each of my sisters, and I got some nice new gift bags from a charity shop to put 'em in. When I get more money on me, I'll get something for their boyfriends and a box of chocs for each couple, and I'm supposed to get a bread bin for my mum and dad that they wanted.
Don't forget about baking cookies! =D That's something I ought to get round to since I can't let that box of carob powder go to waste.

We never do anything special. We just stay at home, endulge on food and sweets, and watch Christmas specials and movies. Simplistic, but nice.
I'm usually invited to my friend's company's Christmas party.

My Christmas is always the same: on the 24th december, at midnight, I go to the church for the Mass (I am catholic), where I play the organ accompanying the choir. At the end my mum's fab homemade hot chocolate is waiting for me at home! I have to play also at the Mass on the 25th morning, because I am the only organist in my parish; but it is not a problem, I love playing the organ! Then there is the big lunch with my relatives. In the afternoon, at the end, I go out in town with my bestfriend, and we exchange wishes (is it correct?) with all our other friends, in particular with cute boys ! The gifts are a big matter: one for my mum, one for my sister and one for her little boy (but nothing for her husband ;D!); then one for my granny and few for my greatest friends; at the end something for my two bosses (both female). Therefore, a robbery to my poor bank account! Hope that Santa will remember of me too!

Christmas, yeah! ;D I love this time of the year because I go to the family reunion! First we go to the church together and then back home for dinner. I also love baking fruit cake and pudding to give them. Then in Christmas morning we have presents for everybody! Next favourite day is new year, the sad note is that sometimes my friends forget about my birthday. However, I understand that they are too busy celebrating or tired after the new year's party! ;D I hope Santa will remember about us this year!

While this topic is still here, let's put down our wishlists, you know, what you'd like to have for this Christmas! I'd love to have a Nintendo Wii with Super Paper Mario, though they're sold out here, and it seems that the Nintendo DS's are selling out fast as well. I also want the 3rd SpongeBob Season boxset, a few bits from the Body shop [cosmetics store] and the usual art materials.

Well, let's see... Er.... I think I would like this new music system called iLuv. It plays 4 Cds and your iPod can sit on top. The sound quality is really good. I'll probably get books and clothes and dvds and stuff like that too.

I'd like some re-releases of the entire Duckula run only with decent cover art and a presentation box! Or Victor & Hugo entire series on DVD!
Back in the real world - I'm not really fussed. I'm not after anything in particular.

Let's use our imaginations for a laugh. What would you get Duckula, Nanny, Igor or any of the other characters for Christmas? I would get Duckula some trousers to wear with his suit (it just looks weird with him only having only the top half of his evening wear) and Iwould get Nanny a cookery book. That would be even funnier than her ordinary cooking cos' she would probably mess it up more than already does and get the recipe all mixed up! ;D

Igor will have to get a shiny new rusty old mace and set of shackles for the torture chamber.

I'd get The Phantom an harmonica (he's got to play it better than Duckula!) Mr. and Mrs. Shussboomer a genuine immitation Transylvaniania Clock, Gaston and Pierre a book on criminology, Don Diego a fancy cigar lighter, Von Goosewing a dartboard with Duckula's face in the centre and Rory McDuckula some whisky.

I would get Nanny a nice dress or a pearl choker, Igor a pet (maybe a bat from the Amazonic forest) and Duckula an I-pod!

I would buy Rory McDuckula some bagpipes and a set of golf clubs. What about Hawkeye Soames? Do we not care what he gets?Perhaps some tobacco for his pipe. That and a good scotch. He looks like a scotch drinker to me.
