Do you buy yourself a special expensive Chistmas present

[SteveEscort]

I do every year. It's my thank you to myself for all of my personal commitment and hard work. I work damn hard as an escort and so every year I treat myself to something very nice that I wouldnt ordinarily buy or be able to afford.

 

Starting June each year I put £10 from every couple of appointments into a big huge fat black cat money box. My cat Jazmin was black and fat and she died a few years ago so I call it the Jazzy fund. I never count it and I never miss the odd tenner going into it. Yesterday I took the tenners out (a feat in itself) and I bought myself a MacBook Air. It's sealed in the box from the Apple Store in Newcastle and I will open it on Christmas Day.

 

Last year I bought myself a Mulberry satchel bag, the year before an American fridge freezer.

 

Because I don't notice the tenners, it's a lovely little gift to myself and I wondered if other guys on here do the same. The reason I'm asking is because more often than not I am the personal gift to themselves which is why December is my busiest month of the year, especially the seven days leading up to Christmas.

I don't buy a Christmas present to myself, but I do buy presents for the people I love and cherish.

 

Usually we exchange presents on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day with my family and close friends.

I do every year.

 

Or every week, in my case. Unlike some people, I choose to celebrate the season of giving.

 

All. Year. Long.

 

(Oh, and you'll love your Air.)

I've only got a small family and my father passed away 14 years ago so there's not many to buy for which is why I buy something for myself. Can't believe I misspelt Christmas in the title especially as I use an iPad and it normally correctly typos

 

I am looking forward to it. There was only 5 left in the apple store and they had no idea when the next stock was being delivered. They had sold hundreds this week. I get sick to death of slow windows laptops but I need a laptop to maintain my website and online adverts. iPads are great but there's a number of things you can't do with them.

Since a lot of you seem to be into giving, won't you give a child in need a coat this winter? They will go to the Ronald McDonald House.

 

Hey Killian, the link takes me to a sign on page. Do you have a more direct link?

I gave a donation to the Newcastle cat and dog shelter last week. I also took over old blankets and towels. I only donate to animal charities.

Two thumbs up on that one Steve. It's tragic how many family pets got left behind when people were foreclosed on, and ended walking away from their homes. Something few people are even aware of.

I buy myself stuff for Chistmas too.

[bigvalboy]

Got it...Thanks.

As do I Chris. I always buy myself a special escort for the holidays....after all, tis the season for giving.

[Steven_Draker]

I have donated to various AIDS Foundations and Charities both in Europe and the USA.

 

I have donated to the Tsunami Relief Fund, the Red Cross, Médecins sans Frontières and to Daddy.

Waaay too much fun this morning. Laughing my ass off. Thanks for the thread SteveEscort.

Thank you. I donate to them every few months. I've bought a few kittens from them over the years too. They also have a food collection box in my local supermarket and everytime I do a big shop I get a 12 can pack of cat food or dog food and put it into the collection box. I am not against being charitable to other causes but I chose to support the little cats and dogs and because the shelter is only two miles from my home and I can see where my donations are spent.

[SteveEscort]

Me too man. Everyone's just a saint LoL. And the usual suspects in 3..2..1.. Shit shit shit

 

Lol

Do you make him dress like an elf and sit on your "shelf?"

 

You do—I don't even know why I'm asking.

[SteveEscort]

Role play is extra

I love those someecards, especially this uncharitable one

Donations are great, but i usually buy myself an expensive cologne from Saks, when i get to NYC in January.

I'm addicted to L'Instant by Guerlain

I purchase a fancy sport jacket for my Christmas gift. This year's jacket has been delivered, and, although the garment is my customary size, 38R, I cannot button it across my "middle". HO, Ho, ho. . .

HA!

 

Extra prayers to fix the clusterfuck over London right now. Hope it hasn't affected you.

I'm relieved, I usually fly to Germany or Czech Republic second Friday of each month but because my gentleman abroad is busy until Christmas in his home country I am flying somewhere to see him between Christmas and New Year otherwise I would have been stuck because I nearly always fly via Heathrow.
