[challenge entry] I really don't usually like doing this
but I popped in here as the new compo was being announced, and rushed off quick to make an entry.



I do apologise.

EDIT: edited to actually be in the compo. Let's not talk about what an idiot I am, mmkay?

From the Christmas Cards Of Truth challenge. See all 215 entries (closed)

[challenge entry] This isn't really worth its own thread
So I'll leave it here.

This is actually based on a real event. One year I spent Xmas alone and had a rather nice peanut butter sandwich for my Xmas lunch.

# my brother
who is far from dull, usually avoids xmas like the proverbial, and has a ritual Spanish omelette for his xmas dinner every year.

Actually, I think you can tell by his change of user name just how highly he rates the current season...

# Remember when I came to visit
and went to the b3ta Xmas bash?

Well, I was there picking up a girlfriend who had spent 4 months in London and she broke up with me in the hotel room that I had paid for...

That Christmas I spent alone. I don't even think I got out of bed. (2006)

# This year
I have offers to spend Christmas in:

a) Bognor Regis
b) Camberwell
c) Redditch

Maybe I'll just stay at home on my own.

# I'd pick b)
Their carrots are quite renouned.

# True.
But I'm not allowed such vegetables in case I get tested at work.

# Dear Jamie "C**t" Oliver
I tried your serving suggestion illustrated above. Frankly I found the salad leaves tough and spikey. The cranberries were hard and bitter - perhaps they should have more sugar. As for serving eggs - don't you know they are dangerous?

Yours

# You think thats bad eh?
I spent my 21st birthday in an army barracks.

God damn reserves.

Not to make it a competition of misery or anything...

# Vouchers are a stupid present.
Here, have some money that you can only spend in certain places and in some cases now actually expires.

Unless of course you want to force a child to buy a book, then they're quite useful.
(I helped save b3ta! zeltergiset, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 20:46, archived)
# the way I look at it
money shows absolutely no thought at all. "I couldn't decide what to get you, so here - buy your own present."

Vouchers, on the other hand, show you have a general idea in mind, but are leaving the final choice up to the recipient. "I want to buy you a CD, but I'm letting you choose which one."

Having said that, I try to put a lot of thought into all presents I give people, whether they be bought, made or whatever.

# But they're the perfect get-out clause for hard to buy for people
I heartily condone gift vouchers.

The expiry bit is a total gip though.
