Christmas is coming

(Cue many sighs!)

It's that time of year folks... usually the last Thursday of October in England is the time when the country is littered with Z-class celebrities, pressing the big Christmas lights 'ON' button, followed by swarms of people taking advantage of the late night shopping.

Normally, my Christmas shopping starts only days before the main event, rummaging through the crap left on the nearly empty shelves of the shops, trying to come up with some idea of what everyone wants. This year, Sammy's on the ball... I actually started my shopping this week and I will get decent presents for everyone this year, for a change

Anyone else as organised as me this year, or will you also follow suit to my previous years of Christmas shopping approach?

I Do mine Christmas week, Love the hussel and bussel off the shops, plus i meet people i havent met who are back home on holls, Usually head to Dublin first week off Dec to get main presents

Christmas shopping? Doesn't anyone just put money into a little box, wrap it up and put it under the tree?? Just me then? Have I been doing it wrong for all these years..... Maybe that's why I've only ever gotten coal from Santy

What do you need to go shopping for? Can't you just snap your fingers, say "izzy wizzy lets get busy" and magic it into the room? lol

I generally leave it until 2 weeks before Xmas, although I usually forget something & have to brave the madness on Xmas eve.

Usually two or three weeks beforehand but I can end up grabbing bits and pieces on Christmas Eve.
