Christmas Crush

Just back from my Christmas shopping (doesn't take long in my case), in a packed town centre. Long queues at the butchers' (not required), the bookshop (had to buy papers). Woolworths' was a nightmare, with kids flitting in and out of aisles and a shop assistant with a bad cold. It's a non-descript day weatherwise, although I gather the fog may be lifting down south. In Woolies, the Boxing Day sales items were hidden (badly) behind black plastic, and they'll be about the only shop open on Boxing Day.

Well, I wish everybody good luck with their Christmas preparations, a Merry Christmas, stay safe and all the rest of it.

    Hello Guido,

    I`m finished with shopping myself. If I haven`t bought everything well I`ll have to manage without it...lol!  The fog has lifted though it`s very overcast and still rather cold.  It`s nice to be able to see further than a few yards and even nicer for those poor stranded passengers at Heathrow Airport.  Have a very Happy Christmas. :o)

    Best Wishes Sandra xx

    P.S. The fog has gone from here, clear as the proverbial bell.  But it is very dark, got the lights on and had them on for some time.

    Clear and sunny here.  Boring weather as usual.  We could wear shorts outside if we wanted to.  Hope you have a good holiday and get to relax a bit.

    Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, Guido!  You still have Woolworth's?  I loved that store.  They are long gone in the US.  LOL..I did all my shopping yesterday and finished this afternoon.  I'm a crunch shopper.  Chris
