  1. When I was a kid Christmas was about opening presents.

    Now I'm an adult I look back and realise that I unwrapped some stuff that would be worth a fortune now if they were mint, in box.

    Pour Noël, j'offre à mes proches des dons aux cagnottes de leur choix 😊. Ça risque de pas leur plaire ? Pas pire que le cadeau qui finira au fond du placard 😊
    Et pour emballer le tout, j'imprime une affiche de Formes des Luttes 🥰

  3. My first Linux distro was Red Hat Linux 6.1 my mom bought as a Christmas present in 1999.

    Trying to get that thing online was a challenge for a 13 year boy but I persevered and managed to figure out how PPPD works. It was clearly written by hackers for hackers back then and very unforgiving:

  5. There is supposedly a drift towards giving consumables for Xmas. That seems like a very good idea. Soap, subscriptions, food hampers, paper, bird seed...

    Most people have a crazy amount of 'stuff' and want to reduce it, not collect more.

    For those in need, basics are a lifeline.

    Wooden brushes and darning kits too - simple equipment to extend the life of stuff we already possess.

    Arts and craft are also an exception. We need to sustain those creative people.

  6. Books make great festive gifts! Nothing better than snuggling under a blanket with a good book at this time of year (in the North of our planet, anyway!).

    These are my books about women in Somerset for adults and kids.

    How do you keep warm in the colder months?

    Know anyone going to do gym in the New Year? Maybe this is a present sorted.

  11. I'm too much of an old Grump to do much gift giving nowadays, but as a young man, I loved finding the perfect Christmas present for each friend. 1976. #gifting #present #presents #gift #gifts #holiday #holidays #christmas #christmaspresent #christmaspresents #christmasgift

  12. I'm haunted by the fear that when I proffer my Christmas presents they will be flung back in my face with a snarled "How dare you offer me this crap!"

  14. Holiday schedule overload remains an effective way to keep holiday spending in check

    At least 300 messages with “Black Friday” or “Cyber Monday” somewhere in their content have hit my Gmail inbox over the last 10 days. That should have meant I’ve gotten a vast amount of holiday shopping done, but instead I have a handful of abandoned online shopping carts in which the prices of most items have increased over the last few days.

    Retailers in the U.S. deciding to barrage their customers with quickly-expiring promotions on this weekend must work for most of them, but in my case it always leaves me feeling overwhelmed, probably more so than it did a decade ago. There are only so many e-mails I can deal with in a day, and spending the last 10 years overindexing on social media cannot have helped my ability to balance cognitive load.

    Plus, this time of year already has me feeling beseiged by CES PR pitches–and yes, of course I am going to CES in January because I’ve done that every January the show has happened IRL since 1998, but thanks for asking once again.

    (As for the charities behind all of the “Giving Tuesday” pitches: Stop it already. Please move that effort to the Tuesday after Christmas, when those donations will land on credit-card bills a month after the costs of the holiday-shopping binge.)

    This year, I’ve also had two longer-form projects spilling over into my schedule weeks after I should have completed them or at least pushed them far enough along to send out invoices. I got one past the copy-filed milestone Thursday, while another remains in a high-maintenance stage of editorial interaction. I don’t see how both won’t occupy much of my short-attention-span attention over the next two weeks.

    And that’s why this is yet another December where I belatedly realize that I should have set my deadline to finish holiday shopping much earlier. Like sometime in August.
