What's with all the work related Christmas presents? I don't get it, from any angle. First, surely business expenses pay for work stuff, not your chrimbo budget? Then, don't you want to get work off your minds for a bit? Clearly I have missed the point and am doing wood for a job, not a hobby. All the best, Ebenezer.

My only present to unwrap was a Plain Lazy hoody. But my best present really was seeing us all happy. Have had a really crap few months after daughter got a really bad liver injury back in August, and I ended up with bibasal pneumonia, and problems stemming from a frickin' hole they've found in my heart. So for everyone to be fit and well and happy at Christmas was brilliant.

Yep, I think you've missed the point a bit Jon, Wood is a way of life, not a job If I wanted to be a rich man I'd not be working in the woods that's for sure - but I'm happy and get by so it's all good

 

I got a few books (only one work related), a dvd, cd, sweets/choclate etc and a pack of frozen moose leg steaks to go with the exotic meats cookbook

I got a Big Steel Thermos Flask.Chuffed!

A Kelly kettle! Only mentioned it to the wife in passing a few months ago but she filed it away in her brain as a possible Christmas present! Good girl.

 

woop, i got one too. Couldn't believe how quick it boiled the water!

Sure ok. Spent time on a trawler many years ago before the days of reduced days at sea etc. Fishing is even more a way of life than trees but no-one got a fish gutting knife, guy cottons or some lumps of chain or ppe for christmas! Talked about it yes but didn't spend money on what frankly the boat owner should be buying.

Not a present personally for me but being able to do a deal with the local pub for a free meal and drinks all night on christmas eve for the whole family. It was a nice feeling giving something back to my parents and family. The following mornings hangover not so nice.
