When I was married to my late wife Margaret, we had a very simple philosopy. All our relations got tippexed last years Christmas cards. All our good friends were given vouchers.
And then me and the missus went shopping.
Margaret loved good clothes and good food. I used to draw the equivalent of ?2000 and take her to Sandton Centre.
We blew the lot on clothes for her. It was a fabulous day where we finished it at the Sandton Sun 5 star hotel where we had a fabulous meal and a champagne breakfast the next morning.
The next Saturday I drew another ?2000.
We went to Mia Sports in Joburg were I bought bass lures, rods, reels and fly tying equipment to die for.
Then we booked in at the Jo'burg Sun for the night, had an incredible meal together with dancing to a top class band.
The following morning we would jump in the car and drive 1000 miles to Capetown. We stopped at a great hotel I knew in Barkley West
Amongst marvellous sea fishing, dining at some of the best restuarants in the world we did the wine route. Spent at least ?1000 on wines and then made it back home by early January.
For many years, that was my Christmas.
