Have You Been Good This Year?
Christmas Spirit is upon us all and as people run around town frantically looking for their Christmas shopping you can see a smug look on the people that know they were on top of there Christmas shopping and have it all wrapped up at home ready to go.
Children are buzzing as they think of Santa coming to their houses and to be honest, what a way to make sure they all behave… I over heard someone telling their kid that if “she wasn’t well behaved at this late stage then Santa would give her presents to the poor children in Africa”. Priceless…
Speaking of presents, it’s a hard and stressful time for people to know what to buy and what not to buy for people. There is always this risk of over stepping boundaries or shameful disappointment when someone opens their present.
So what to buy and what not to buy? No idea… I have been useless at this for the last few years and have got it wrong so many times. So now I go with the terribly disappointing and no thought gift of Cash for everyone that I need to. My theory, they can buy what they want and I don’t have to run around shops…
Retailers probably feel different about it, but hey, it all comes back in to the economy at the end of the day anyway…
Well 5 days to Christmas now, so enjoy yourselves and remember to be good else Santa cross you off his list…
