What do you want?
What about James? Let me guess..........................vests or jeans from Land's End, or books. Gee, I'm good!
LOL! SORRY!
That was for my friend who was bugging me about what did I want for my birthday! I don't know how I sent it here.
Who was it that did that the other day? See, now don't you feel better?

Good point! Get him the one that YOU want!
But of course! I buy his gifts and mine too, so I might as well get what I want out of both!

It's slang for Christmas. They have a tendency to make shorter words out of everything. Spaghetti Bolognese is called Spag Bol, someone named Charles will be called Chaz. That sort of thing.

I could figure out myself that it was shortened, but I would have expected something more like Crizmo. Both "Chrim" and "bo" have consonants not found in Christmas Chas (pronounced Chaz) is a standard written abbreviation for Charles, like Wllm is for William.

You're expecting logic! Silly person.
Not like the UK version, they put the zed on the end. Chaz, Daz, Gaz, Maz, you name it, they'll zed it. I am always amused at someone saying 'Alright, Dazza?' to someone else in a thick Mancunian accent. I couldn't in a million years begin to replicate that.
