Christmas Shopping

I’ve just been doing my xmas shopping, online as usual. A bit late considering that at our recent staff do I was voted the person most likely to have completed her xmas shopping in July. Worse still, there was no competition for that particular category (unlike the 'looks most like an elf' or 'most likely to forget totally about work' categories which were hotly contested) and I suspect it was created with me in mind. I decided to take it as a compliment to my organized nature.

It seemed a bit cruel to send chocs when my family are always on a diet and as my sisters both work I thought a delivery of flowers might prove problematic. I could imagine them sitting, windswept, on the step all day and the family returning to something Morticia Addams might appreciate. Once again Amazon.co.uk saved the day. It's so nice to be able to click on a picture and get something sent off without having to lug it home, wrap it up, wrestle with it at the post office and mail it off without knowing if it will arrive in time for this Christmas, next Christmas or never.

Do you love xmas shopping or hate it? Are you a fan of internet shopping or is that just cheating? Do you buy your xmas cards in the January sales or at the last minute? Whatever your preferences, I wish a very Merry Christmas to both my readers.
