Are you asking for anything Stephen King related at Christmas?

Nope, not asking for anything SK related. In fact, where the gf's side are concerned, I'm not asking for anything I actually want full stop, because you can bet that it'll be the absolute last thing they'd buy.
Conversely, if I was to say "You know what? Can you get me another one of those golf jumper-type zip-up cardigans with a hood, like you did the other year?" you can bet that's exactly what they'd do.
This year, they asked what we wanted and Becky said "Amazon vouchers" before I could stop her. The pressies have duly arrived from her sisters, and unless Amazon vouchers are big and fluffy or sound like a box of biscuits, we ain't got 'em.
(All I get from my side is "What do you want to read that stuff for? It's Christmas!". They never understand when I say "That's why". ;) Well...my niece does, but she's getting to be seen as 'a bit weird' by everyone except me in any case, because she loves horror and has a pretty dark imagination.)
