Despite having no kids of my own (and no chance of having any either) Christmases are a little weird. For sure, there ARE kids – scattered far and wide – and, though I know their ages, I have little or no clue as to what they would actually like; I enter a toy store and I am at a total loss...
...so, it is with some relief that I was able to crack 95% of my Christmas gift shopping today.
Nick (OH) will, as usual, hate what I have purchased, mainly because he will say I should not have spent the money. As for the rest of the family...well I had compiled a list of interesting stuff that I was then able to get at equal prices in the local city shopping centre. Now that was a BIG achievement for me, seeing as how I Don't Do Cities...
As for the rest of it??? Well, TBH I can't wait til it's over. I loathe all the false bon homie etc etc...and I wish just 1% of the money we throw away each Christmas could go to the homeless and other people who could really benefit.
