"Watcha wan fe Chrissmus mon?"
I was ordering a Christmas present for Mrs Blogspot the other day, one of those Kindle reader things. In case you are not au fait with a Kindle, it is a hand held reading device that stores thousands of books for you to read, anywhere, anytime, anyplace, in the dark, in bright sunlight, in the bath, it’s your call.
I went onto Amazon to order one and after some cursing and swearing, I got it ordered and it will be here in Spain within my lifetime, maybe. While I was going through the process of ordering this Kindle, the Amazon site asked me for items for my wish list.
What is a wish list? Well, the Amazon wish list lets you write down all the things you want for Xmas, your friends and family can do the same and then you can click on each other’s wish list and see what they really want for Christmas.
Living Doll or Living Hell?
Needless to say, no one has soap-on-a-rope, socks, underpants, cheapo aftershave, K-Tel Hits of the 60’s, NOW 109 (Now That’s What I Call Music, compilation of 30 years of crap pop songs, first started off as “Now That’s What I Call Music” some fools bought it and this started the rot, NTWICM 2 followed by 3 and so on) or Cliff Richard sings holy songs album.
Now then...Did you ever get any of this?
No! these wish lists contain stuff like 60” 3D Plasma HD TV, XBOX with Need for Speed XXI, Nike Trainers with matching tracksuit and Bling accessories, Sony Vaio laptop, cars, skateboards and more. I remember when Xmas meant waking up to a Xmas tree with parcels underneath from Santa, watching Mary Poppins, Scrooge, waiting for Brenda to give the Xmas speech to the nation and then Xmas lunch. Boxing day was Bubble-and-squeek and that was that.
Of course, I completely lost the plot with this wish list, I didn’t want to be seen as greedy or shallow, or uncaring and so for my wish list I have put “peace on earth and goodwill to all men” No doubt I will have no need to purchase underpants, soap-on-a-rope, Armanipit aftershave or music by Sir Cliff.
Never mind. Why not put “Jamaica holiday” on your wish list and point your friends to the Jamaican Treasures website and pick up a great winter holiday deal. You can even take your Sir Cliff records with you as all of the villas have DVD players. Jamaican Treasures Luxury Villas for your wishlist link.
