Not really my style. The slippers keep my feet warm under the desk, which is a strangely cold corner or the house....:-O


If I retire I will need my walking boots more!

I remember living with my Grandfather in St. Helens, England in the early 1950's, one coal fire place in the entire home, and getting a pair of Marks and Spensers (?) slippers with rubber soles and a warm checkered cloth upper. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. If I could have worn them to school I would have. Now that I think back on it, those were some cold times and an out house to boot! Makes me realize just how very fortunate I am these days.
Hope you enjoy the new slippers Eric!

Now that the big day is gone and boxing day is past, how do you feel about your presents, Eric? I'm sure that time will heal the wounds of accepting the new 600mm Nikkor and the new D800E, don't you think? :-) :-) :-)

Didn't get any Tom. 
Actually that's not true. Someone brought me a couple of small 'consumable' items on Christmas day .....despite being advised not to do so!

We had a particularly nasty outbreak of relatives on Christmas day. Took me till Boxing day lunchtime to flush them out. Have just about recovered from it...and another lot are coming this weekend! 
Surely there are some shots you can have to protect against this?

My wife and I gave up the Christmas present treadmill a long time ago. Christmas is for kids..and as we don't have any, there is not point!

We do celebrate birthdays and wedding anniversaries though, and as both our birthdays are shortly after Christmas, it sort of compensates.
I've ordered a camcorder for the wife. She has struggled for quality with the Flip in awkward lighting and the Nikon video option is a joke for handholding casual videoing.But I think she will need a new computer to cope with editing, as hers is a little old.May even get her an iMac if it's any good! ;-)
