Default christmas wouldn't exist if

christmas wouldn't exist in our house if it were not for the wife.
Yesterday she got the decorations out put up lights and I helped put up the tree.

I would not bother if it were just me but the tree and lights do look good

I have the other one (CEW1000) and it struggles to remove correctly torqued wheel bolts off my sons ZT. However it has been useful, especially for the money.

Looks like this new one (CEW1100) should be up to it. Hope you get the usual VAT free 20% off offer at the right time then.

My Christmas is already complete, my sister gave me a couple of wrapped presents today, though I know it's a bottle of Bells and a fruit cake, all I ever ask for.

Christmas does nothing for me now. My dad passed away 2 weeks before Christmas in 2016, and now my aunt is no longer with us, it’s just not the same.
I know neither of them would want me to be like this, but I can’t help it, if I was on my own I would still put a tree up, but wouldn’t bother much other than have a couple of weeks off. That is one thing I enjoy, my two weeks down time, switch off from work totally, then just recharge my batteries.
