Honest to god, I feel as if this group needs fumigating!

Usually at about this time of year, we all discuss what gardening goodies we
hope to get for Christmas - anyone care to contribute?

I'd like lots and lots of rose bushes and to persuade Ray to find me
somewhere to plant them. ;-) At present, we're working on a compromise,
which is to put up some posts on the tea room lawn and loop chain between
them. Up and along these we will grow roses and honeysuckle, and the more
scented the better. I think this is more likely to be a birthday present in
January, given that I've only just asked for it. ;-)

So - what about you - what do you want Father Christmas to bring you?!

Peace and tranquility in this newsgroup where you and you partner from up
north stop siding with each other to take swipes at people you do not
approve of. Where you have to have the last word and control the comments of
the other newsgroup readers. Where nobody is as good as you and because you
gardened with Adam and you have ram it down everbodies throats.

How nice for the 'owners' to give up 'ownership' as a christmas present.

My hero was Scrooge before he got converted.
I get presents (mostly garden related) which end up in the bin. It's the
thought that counts. They all know what I don't like so they give me it.
They don't love me--sob.

It's because you only read(ish).

LOL! You're like my stepson. Whenever we ask what he would like, he says
'nothing'. He genuinely dislikes Christmas and thinks it horribly
over-commercialised.

He has a point. They started putting out festive chocs and gift-boxed
paraphernalia in September in my local supermarket!

It's nice to have absent offspring visiting and other family around but I
don't enjoy all the build up and honestly wouldn't mind if Christmas only
happened every four years like leap years. :-/

I would not object if it never came around at all......why on earth wait to
celebrate a particular day....why not just celebrate whenever you feel like
celebrating.....how about calling up someone at the spur of a moment and
suggest a get together...if you wish to exchange gifts make a limit on the
cost...say no more than three or four quid max....but purchased gifts shud
not be needed...the gift of one's comapny shud be rewarding enuff.....I
think nothing of waking up and for no reason decide to bake a batch of
scones to give to the neighbours....the cost is very little but the reward
is great

Our local Tesco had Christmas puddings in September - I haven't even made
mine yet. Or the cake. Unhappily, if it only happened every four years,
its meaning would be lost even further..... ;-(

A man after my own heart. As long as I've got food and drink to offer my
visitors, I'm happy.

Yes but he gets the food and drink *as well*! Everyone with us on
Christmas Day gets a stocking and a couple of things from under the tree -
whether they like it or not. ;-)

Know how you feel. My family each bought me a box of 100 daffodils, nearly
broke my back planting 400 of the buggers.

I found some plant waterers, plastic nozzles that screw onto a pop bottle,
on QVC's website. I've seen them for £1, £2 and £2.50 each at garden shows,
which always seemed a tad costly for 5 pennyworth of plastic. These were £15
for 30

I want everything somebody like me, who's just moved to their first house
with a garden, would want (fork, spade, hoe, rake, mower etc). So I'll
probably get a set of el cheapo implements that break within two weeks and
I'll have to buy them again properly in the sales. But that's what XMas is
all about!
