Wouldn't be Christmas if the furry members of the family didn't get their presents too!

The furries here even give "special" gifts to various family members.

I think perhaps the meaning of my posting was taken in a way I hadn't intended. We do literally wrap up presents (sometimes gag gifts) to various family members from the pets.

Of course there are times we get the other "presents" too.

Spencer Tracy -- called Pinky by her in the movie

Kate Hepburn -- called Pinkie by him in the movie

A movie in which they played married lawyers but were on opposite sides in court.

can't remember the movie right now... will edit when I find it.. EDIT: Duh! Should have remembered.... Adam's Rib is the name of the movie...

As to Christmas.... I now solve that problem by purchasing all 17 immediate family members (my side) gift cards!

My local Waitrose has already started selling Xmas stuff, I'm starting to get tawdry catalogues through the post, and now DG (bless her cotton socks) reminds me that it's only 10 weeks (or less) away. Damn! I'd hoped to keep the grumpy old killjoy persona under wraps for at least another couple of weeks.
