Two days to go and everything is ready for the big day. I’ve even wrapped Magz’s secret present then hid it away again. I’ll give it to her after all the other gifts have been stripped of their paper. I know, how mushy am I? But it is Christmas only once a year so I’m allowed, hehehe.
I see a lot of people have left the shopping to the last minute. I’ve never really understood the excitement people get from the frantic rush. Then there is the crowds pushing their way to find a bargain. Personally I don’t think that there every really are any to be had. I think the retailers just play a game of clever deception when it comes to those last few days’ sales before Christmas to drag the multitude in. Still I suppose shops have to do something to get people to buy especially as the internet has taken a large slice of business over the past ten years from them.
As you can tell I prefer the quiet Chrimbo and with the next four days off I’m planning on just that with the family. You can call me boring if you want as long as I still get to sit back with my slipper on I don’t mind. I’ll sit back and watch some telly with a hot mug of tea, hehehe.
I do have to vote in the poetry competition. I’ve already read most of the entries scoring them as I go to whittle them down to the ones that I like best. So far that means I have four winners so I have some tough decisions to make. After I have finished reading the last few I have to read then I will reread all the ones that I scored highest and hopefully find my three favourites. At least I will have plenty of time to savour the work of others.
Hope you all have a great Christmas and don’t get caught out in the crowds. Well that is unless you really love the great seasonal dash.
