Christmas Present Time

[Rookery]

It's December and it's that time we begin to buy presents for our nearest and dearest. It's always a very sad time for me. We were poor. One Christmas my mum gave me an empty shoe box. She said it was the Action Man Deserter.
Next!

Immediate Downsizing Measures Employed
The recent announcement that Donner and Blitzen have elected to take the early reindeer retirement package has triggered a good deal of concern about whether they will be replaced, and about other restructuring decisions at the North Pole.
Streamlining is due to the North Pole’s loss of dominance of this season’s gift distribution business. Home shopping channels, the Internet, and mail order catalogs have diminished Santa’s market share. He could not sit idly by and permit further erosion of the profit picture.
The reindeer downsizing was made possible through the purchase of a late model Japanese sled for the CEO’s annual trip. Improved productivity from Dasher and Dancer–who will retrain at the Harvard Business School–is anticipated. Reduction in reindeer will also lessen airborne environmental emissions for which the North Pole has received unfavorable press.
I am pleased to inform you that Rudolph’s role will not be disturbed. Tradition still counts for something at the North Pole.

I'm getting my son a 1000 watt light bulb for Christmas.....

Lovely to see his little face light up when he opens his present....

I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas. She told me "Nothing would make her happier than a diamond necklace" So I bought her nothing.

Mine said she wanted a divorce
Wasn't thinking of spending that much

One year I wanted a fort and toy soldiers. Christmas morning arrived and I opened the big box to find half of my present missing. Mum, where's the soldiers I moaned? Well, it's the fort that counts, replied my mum.

Fort ( thought) that counts!
Very good.

There was nothing like the joy on my sons face when he first saw the PlayStation box containing the socks I got him for Christmas
