This thread is for those who got diddly, nada, zilch, zip, zero Christmas Presents this year (or any other year). Come and commiserate. You're among friends here.

And to those of you who offer the beautiful homily, "It's better to give than receive", please take the time to have a nice tall glass of shaddup.

LOL Gonna have to keep my eye on this thread! Is Merry Christmas Lowbridge allowd here? If not...erasey erasey!

[dfwgator]

The way I figure, any presents I get would only be charged to my credit card anyway, so getting no presents isn't such a bad thing.

[zlala]

I got the t.v. we were going to buy anyway....

All of mankind got the greatest gift of all - Jesus.

I got to watch the Elvis Presley Movie "Spinout" on my DVD player, courtesy of my Netflix free trial membership.

[Yaelle]

I got the worst cold that makes you feel like dog poop.

Actually reading about Freeper Christmases was a gift itself to me! And I finally watched the movie A Christmas Story, which worked out well for my family of all boys!

BUMP

[international american]

Man! That is pitiful......ROTF!!

I haven't received a Christmas present in about 10 years. Don't really miss them, as to me that's not everything that Christmas is about. I've enjoyed visiting good friends and eating good food.

Looking forward to seeing the replies in this thread!

No you didn't.

[lowbridge]

Pretty much retired, yeah. I found scambaiting African scammers much more funny.

I got none either. Normally I wouldn't mind if it were a mutual agreement, but there was none. I go out and spend big, was happy to do it, and I get nothing in return.

Not getting anything doesn't bother me, it's the lack of thought that counts.............

But, what the hell, the kids were happy.

I didn't get my newspaper delivered this morning. I was denied my traditional holiday "comics in bed". A Pax Americana on the Dallas Morning News!
