Raven · 15-09-2008, 10:48 PM

well it is understandable with having a large family to start early...helps spread the cost as well

Well, I love the buzz of last minute Christmas shopping, but the family keeps growing. Eleven grandchildren now, and second great grandchild due in February, not to mention all their parents, so I'm trying to be sensible this year, and only today took delivery this year's first gift, from the Avon catalogue.
I've now been lent a Fairtrade catalogue to look at. Some smashing things in that, and a good cause too, so I expect to add a few more items to the collection soon.
Sad maybe, but there it is.

I love the whole festive thing, Chris, cant wait for the shops to get tarted up and Christmassy, the cornier the better. All those familiar Christmas songs, Santa , carols, tinsel - I'm just a big kid in December.
