    Christmas presents - the term is also used in Australia, although I currently favour 'pressos'.

    My husband always seems to get his own things from his obscure websites and by the time Christmas comes around there's nothing left to get him.

    Gee, you mean the way some Eagles fans (myself included of course) scour Ebay and other sites for Eagles memorabilia?
    I don't understand that at all.

    Of course I can understand him ordering signed and numbered CDs and T shirts from the Mike Keneally website because those are special. He gets stuff from Steve Vai and Rush sites too. But if it's something that I could easily order myself, from amazon.com. or amazon.co.uk, I do wish he'd tell me sometimes so I could get them.

    I know how you feel, FP--I was just joking with you.

    BTW, thanks for the explanation about pressies. Maybe I will start calling our presents "pressies" over here and start a new fad!

    I would go with mid-December (though I have been known to be running around Christmas Eve to get presents ). I really hate how early the stores stock up for Christmas - how can you feel Christmassy in October???

    Ask me again in a couple of weeks and I'll be voting for 'I can't wait for it to be over.' LOL
