Best and worst things about the run-up to Christmas?

What are the best and worst things about the run-up to Christmas?

For me, seeing these back on the shelves is amazing. Whoever came up with them is a genius and should be knighted. You have chocolate, orange, and popping candy. What more could you ask for in a deliciously-unhealthy treat?


The worst thing is getting the Christmas shopping done. I always plan on being organised, but then I have to do a big shop and end up looking like this:


Am I alone in that, or do other people do that?

Expectations of what gifts to get family etc and personal shopping. I HATE shopping around. I thought I found a great cop out in e-shopping BUT clothes always look different than they do in person as opposed to online. You also have to see if the clothes suit you. No point dropping a couple of hundred on clothes that don't fit, look stupid on you via the interweb.

gluttony and lots of football on telly

traffic and crowds and shopping

I love the music of christmas : the traditional christmas carols and the modern Christmas pop songs too! They create the atmosphere of Christmas for me. I also love the lights!!!

worst thing about run up to Christmas for me is being asked to play Scrooge in the Christmas Play and best thing about Christmas would be Not to be asked.
