This is a question Presents

What are you buying your loved ones this Christmas? We're looking for inspiration and reckon a big share-a-thon of ideas will help everyone buy better gifts this year.

BTW: If your family reads B3ta and you're worried about giving the game away then tell us what you bought last Christmas.

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
My mother has occasionally gone through phases of being quite earnest; she has also occasionally gone through phases of being quite Christian. Sometimes, the phases have overlapped, leading to a phase of quite earnest Christianity.

Band Aid had just been released, and was playing on the radio. A little while in, it got to the lines
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas-time.
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life..."

She looked at me seriously. "Yes, life really is the greatest gift, isn't it?"

Yeah, but to be honest

Woo yay for Big Trak! I still remeber the excitement of seeing the big box wrapped up under the tree that Christmas. It was the best present - EVER!

Oh yeah.
I upset a born-again Christian that was temping with us a while ago - it was Friday, and I wandered in:

VAGABOND: Well, L ... every new day is another step in our exolerable and continuous march towards death ...

BAC: Erm ... ha.

I didn't know whether to feel aroused or guilty, so in the end I felt both.

Well, you're both right I guess.
I'll stop before I get dull.
