It's been quite a few years since I have actually wanted anything specific, in the way of a present, for Christmas. Honestly, the last time I remember believing that I needed a particular gift was probably when I was a teenager. And even then I most likely had to rack my brain for ideas. Nowadays, when posed with the question "what would you like for Christmas?" my response is invariably, "...nothing." I know this nettles my nearest and dearest, but really my needs are few, my tastes are simple, and my imagination is often lacking. What is a Vinogirl to do?I am the happiest in the company of good friends, at play with the Vinodogs, and in the sharing of comforting and relaxing familial repasts (accompanied by a good glass of wine of course). The gift of good times, that foster fond memories, are my favourite pressies now.
I really would not want, or have the need for, the Vino-handbag (in the above picture) as a gift . Who would?
What's on your Christmas list?

I want a bottle of Twin Pomegranate's Pomegranate/Chardonnay--not.
Wow, that little abomination puts a whole new slant on "anything but Chardonnay"...
you just know I'm buying it to annoy you.
does scouse and beetrooton saturday whilst watching the results count as relaxing familial repast? Lord Roby and monkey will be amused tomorrow.
Well, that's just typical of you isn't it brother dearest?
And yes, scouse and footy scores do count, but without the beetroot. Although I did have roasted beets with Beef Wellington last night, yum!
Ah, the king's English in its open glory...
...and this damned blogspot is now forcing me to type in my id with ever comment!
Not my id, but my i.d.
and not ever but every.
My excuse: it's early morning.
Thomas, read on...you may be able to translate it all in a few years time :)
And don't be so harsh on poor Blogger. For one thing it is free, for another, Wordpress is worse. Yes, I do have to resign in again and again sometimes it seems, but I think it is because I have signed out of Vinsanity and/or my Gmail account...so it could be user error!
what about the Beatles on Itunes? Just kidding...
Happy holidays to you and yours, VinoGirl!
I heartily second your emotion! :-)
Have really enjoyed Vinsanity in 2010 and am looking forward to 2011...
Thanks 2B...same to you and your loved ones.
I would like a Fixin Clos Napoleon and the Grand Cru Gevrey Chambertin I was too ill to drink at the Millennium. Failing that, a coal scuttle.
Affer, I wish we both had been blogging back in 2000, sounds like there is an interesting story there...and what eclectic tastes you have in Christmas gifts!
Thomas...my butchery of the English language knows no bounds.
