I once got chocolate brazils for christmas and was quite upset.... _and_ it was the best present I got that year.
I spent a good amount of time and money getting something that everyone would want.
- My little cousen got a marble-run puzzel, which was a very 'in' toy of the moment. I didn't get anything from her parents (don't expect anything from her, she's too young)
- My 40 year old cousin who is into writing things got a moleskin diary, I didn't get anything from her, she pleeded poverty.
- My aunty and uncle who are into history got a big book about victorian london, I got brazil nuts that were probably left over at her house as a previous gift.
- Barbera got a fridge calender thing to help her keep track of things, she didn't get me anything, I don't expect anything from her though. I'm just happy when she remembers not to take her granny nappy through the living room.
- Everyone got an amazing prawn cocktail made'n'bought by me, I didn't get _any_ left overs, even the ones I saved on the side, they got picked up. Oh wait, I got some roast potatos. That was it. All the other live-alone people got loads though.

This has gone on for 4 years in a row now, this year everyone is getting the shittest gift I can think of, half a year's subscription to Save The Leopard that they'll feel guilty about not continuing.

Cock-gazzes all round this year, then.
Personally I think celebrating the birth of someone your relatives MURDERED is in rather poor taste anyway.
