Are you buying Christmas gifts?

[Finnish Swede]

I'm planning to buy and give this to my dad ... 3 persons chess. Two models available. I like 2. one more.




Now I noticed that a new knife has been published (a wild boar):

My father has all the 7 earlier ones (same animal-serie)

As a knife is still pretty expensive (3 times more than chess game) ... I'll give a wink of it to my mother/grandparents.

Daddy's Darling one has to chess guess .

No, I do not have relatives anymore to be worth of sending even a letter .

Finnish Swede, my choice would be the 3 person chess set. Then you and your parents can all play chess at the same time.

I never learned how to play chess.

For Christmas gifts, I have to buy something for my Mom. I think she prefers cash and then she can buy what she wants.

Yes, I will choose it. It costs about right sum (60euros), knife is 160 euros.
I have never won my father in chess (he is member of chess club). Maybe via 3 persons chess I could still beat him (if I'll make secret coalition with third person) ... LOL.

So you will buy something, or not (as giving cash)?

Oh, that is pretty sad.

Oh, that is pretty sad.

It's pretty universal among a dying people. I'm in the same boat.

Dying people? Him (48) or you are not yet that old. Or did you mean your blood line and not you as a person?

They says that year's biggest celebrations a'la Christmas, New Year, Eastern, Midsummer etc. are the worst time for lonely people. By then their own situation will really be concretised.

I think he means his blood line. Me too. I don't have any children.

Valentines Day is also a sad day in the USA for lonely single people.

I asked my mom what she wants for Christmas and she said not to buy her anything, she just wants her/our bills paid down. So that means cash. She did say she would like to go out to a restaurant for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'd rather stay home. I prefer ordering a pizza.

I'm talking about ALL of us. You're an only child, right? Me too. If we all don't start having bigger families, there will be nothing left.
