Christmas shopping

[Kevinb]

It must be that time of year again. Haloween stuff is being sold off cheap and Christmas stuff is now out.
We're off Christmas shopping Saturday before all it gets too much. No tat this year e.g. a £1.50 bottle of beer in a case with something c*ap for only £9.99 ;D

I've done all mine this year. I did it at the start of the year when I still had some money so I can now avoid the high streets and can kick back and relax whilst others rush around like idiots trying to figure out what to buy :D [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Always do mine on Xmas eve. All over in a oner Kev. It's a bit like going to the dentist - you know you gotta go but you keep putting it off till the last minute. Find shopping more painful tho - unless it's for a new bike. ;D

i absolutely love christmas, shopping, decorations, xmass songs even the salvation army band playing in the street, now look you've gone and got me all excited :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Easy, an MP3 player please. About 8Gb should be enough. Don't worry about a card though ;) ;D ;D

I loved Christmas when my boys were young but now its just a big non event, nice to get the family together but all that money spent, not good! :(

My sentiments exactly Tina, and I also love the fact that for many its the only time of the year that Families come together to have a good time. Now my children are older I miss not leaving Santa a note.

The bit I do hate is knowing there are people out there on their own at christmas and are dreading it........wouldnt it be great to hire a hall and get everyone together, all chuck in a bit of money and make sure people arent alone...unless they want to be of course...(some people like it that way too)..... I know I appear to live in a pink and fluffy world and its not like that out there....its only not like that out there 'cos people wont stand up and make the change....i.e being loving and kind to fellow humans who are in a worse situation than ourself....and by god there is always someone out there worse off than you ........sorry, ....speech over, I shall sit back down and smile sweetly again hehe :) :) :)

Totally agree. having our grandson on Christmas day. You can't beat it. Also taking him to see Santa at Whitehall garden centre. Excellent.
