Sorry about that @Spears , bit rushed today (last day at work, loads to get finished... still)
Great news for @Mam of 4 and @Kol who now score perfect zeroes!

She wants everyone there together at the same time, so we have to wait for the youngest to call out before we open any presents.

I'd start without him. Couldn't wait that long. I love getting presents
In saying that, I need to wake my own kiddo's xmas morning to get up to their Santa gifts
& I mean, EVERY.SINGLE.YEAR !
Not once have they ever been up with the excitement at stupid o'clock, like we were in my mam's house when we were younger.

Of the 29 other people that make up this weird and wonderful family, I just want to say I'm very disappointed in 22 of you. No names need be mentioned, you know who you are.

Let's stick on the present theme. We all get some presents we just don't really like. So, do you dare...

#Advent Question 18:
Have you ever regifted a Christmas present you didn't like?
What percentage of players do you think will say yes?
PMs to me before this evening, reveal about 9

So I'd like to refer to my post after Thursday when I was hanging onto 4th...
I assumed more houses are like mine, there are no little people so why the rush, we do ours in the afternoon either while dinner is on cooking or after it. It's all pressure and expectation and you have to be ready to pretend you like stuff which I find really uncomfortable.
RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - Mam of 4 - 18-12-2021
I think lots of people regift unwanted presents . Whether or not they admit to it is another story

People are more honest than I thought. Well really we all do it with biscuits and sweets and bottles of drink and what have you.

My Christmas tip would be to buy some of those fancy sparkly giftbags every year and keep them handy.
Let's say someone unexpected calls to your door with a present, you can quickly throw a tub of sweets or biscuits in a nice bag and say 'these are for you, I was going to call around with them but you've saved me the journey'

My mam did that one year but dad had eaten half a box of sweets leaving the empty wrappers in the box, now the sweets are hidden from him and Mrs. Doyle gets a lovely bunch of fresh flowers not regifted now, for a diabetic dad would eat sweets 24/7
