Santa Is Almost Due And I Have A Problem
But first tell me, what you want in your stocking? You better get your order in if you have not done so yet. Oh yes, Santa told me that an exceptional large number of people were disqualified this year for being naughty. So if you were naughty this year, don’t bother with the stocking. Sorry, he did not elaborate on what classifies as naughty.Hmm, what do I want? Now that’s a tough question. I have more or less all the things that I want; well, at least those that I can afford. What I still yearn for is too expensive and too bulky to expect in my stocking. I believe Santa’s budget has been rather tight during the last few years.
It is very unlikely that anybody is going to buy me a red Lamborghini therefore I expect to get the usual shìt; deodorants, aftershave, underwear, socks and so on. These are all items that I’m very fussy on and I’ll probably pass it on to somebody else in the end.
And that brings me to the problem of what to buy for my father. He really has everything he wants. But even when he was younger I never knew what gifts to buy him. With my mother it was easy; flowers was always a winner with her but as she requested no flowers on her grave, there is no need for that anymore. But this does not bring me any closer to a solution.
So what do you buy for a 90 year old man whose only wish is to go softly in his sleep? I don’t know why he wishes for that because he’s still good for a few years. He enjoys a good lifestyle, has a special girl friend (I wonder if they do it ), plenty of other friends, plays Bridge once a week and he still drives his own car..
We have been nagging him for a few years now to get rid of the car but he responded by buying a new car earlier this year. So I cannot even buy him a new set of tires; they’re almost brand new.
Anyway, bottoms up - enjoy whatever you're doing!

I can imagine a lot of long things. And a lot of thick things as well.

You Can Place What You Want For Christmas, On His Website! Under Wish Items.

Lol! True Story....
The actual bath is sitting on the terrace all wrapped in packaging, so to be specific, I want on Christmas morning to go into a bathroom, turn on the taps, watch the bath fill up with hot water, add bubbles, so I can get in and have a long soak.
I want a bath for Christmas.
Santa Own The Amazon Website.....
How Are You?????
I have that same problem. I think I've been wishing for too expensive things.
I Know! Right......
Why don't you just have a shower, it uses less water.
Oh but then you have plenty of water.
Really, then he'll soon turn it into an NGO. He's a terrible businessman.
I agree; what are you talking about?
Had to google it. Shaking my head. Still French to me.
No, but have considered it many times. what prevents me if the fear that I may give an item back to whoever gave it to me.
Angel, I have never seen one of those on Amazon
Biff, I'm going to have a bubble bath tonight in your honour
I can wiggle my nose. Will it qualify?
Cat, I don't want a shower, I want a bath. Why don't you have a lump of coal for Christmas?
Molly, thanks. Make it a good hot bubbly one. Candles and a glass of wine, if you can find the energy?
you won't regret it. I can even flare my nostrils.
On That Website! You Have To Look In The Men's Items.
Under Men's Wanted!....
That Is Good To Here!.....
We don't need coal; we have plenty. It is water we need, Our dams are less than half and we don't have enough water on Capetown until the next rainy season.
Biff, you can even choose the type of wine
Cat, flaring eh? I'm getting sold on this idea
Amazon Is Running A Special On Those Men's For The Holidays.
Great, you can get the ball rolling by sending your bank card and pin no.
How do you know all these things?
Because! Amazon Is Advertising It, On All Cable Channels....
And Cat, I've never paid for it yet, I'm not going to start now
Uh!
If Men Don't Work! Men Can't Eat. So! I Always Check In The Men's Section On Amazon.
We don't have cable TV in this country, We have to get it via satellite feed. May those ads get lost ijn the air waves?
but then I only look at the sport channels.
