All I want for Christmas is a Poker Set

Is it just me, or is there a huge proliferation of poker accessories in the shops for Xmas?

Everywhere I go, I see tin boxes of poker chips, cards, rotating chip holders, auto-shufflers, green felt and plastic 'things' (don't quite know what the plastic things are for)

Be it at geek store, the gadget shop or middle-class department store, John Lewis, it seems gone are the days of ties and slippers and sweaters with santa and rudolph - and in are bad quality light-weight poker chips and cards. And there's huge displays built as if they're the latest hi-tech gadget to hit the streets

Was it really that difficult to set up a game of poker at your house with a pack of cards and some matchsticks, before the onset of 'poker gift sets'?

Or am I just being a Scrooge? Bah Humbug
