I only just finished opening this lot of pressies, and more to do on Friday, and nor have I finished all the turkey. Thus Christmas isn't over.
It must be over. There was evidence of Christmas back in early September.
It's only supposed to last twelve days......not 4 months.
I find Christmas much more enjoyable by limiting the lead-in time and the time spent in preparation for Christmas. 10am on the 24th was quite early enough for buying most provisions. Fully stocked and almost deserted stores made it an easy and enjoyable. The normally very busy girls that I know in both Lidl and Adli had time for a quick chat, joke and Merry Christmas on the way round.
Mrs TB is normally better organised when it comes to food shopping, but she forgot a few things, so had to pop to one of the 2 supermarkets we have in town on Xmas eve. She chose Tesco because she didn't think Waitrose would sell every thing she needed. It was rammed. Struggled to park, and was heaving inside. It was as if Armageddon was coming.
I wonder if the discount supermarkets, of which we don't have any here, were less busy due to people rushing and only wanting to do one shop, and pick one of the big 4 due to better range?
