I've got my tree up, but the rest of the house needs decorating, I've done all my xmas cards, and even wrapped a few presents, amazing for me, usually I'm doing it all in the last few days, and cursing myself for not starting sooner, so i'm quite pleased with myself.
I don't really enjoy all the hustle and bustle of this time of year, I don't really "do" shopping unless I have to, unfortunately I have to :-) I've still got a few gifts to buy, I've done a little on the net this year, but I do prefer to really see what I'm buying.
It's the crowds of people I find difficult, everyone is pushing and shoving, even the supermarkets are hell, people loading their trolleys as if it's going to be another year before the shops open again! Why? The shops are only really shut Christmas day now.
I'm quite a clumsy person really, always have been, and the crowds don't help - I was in my local garden centre a couple of days ago, just looking for some new tree decorations, I turned to look at something and wiped everything off this display table with the basket, I was mortified, and a few boubles were broken, but the staff were great, I thought it was going to cost me a fortune, but they didn't charge me, at least there is some Christmas spirit :-))
Anyway, hope you are all enjoying your preparations, tell me your stories.
