It’s almost Christmas!
It’s that time of year again… when we’re all running around like headless chooks attempting to get our Christmas shopping done in time!
What to get for Dad? Would Mum prefer a book or some toiletries? Will Nana like the soap I got her? I don’t get on well with that cousin, so something cheap will do; but I like this cousin better, so I’ll get her a nice pot plant. Barbies for the nieces, toy cars for the nephews, concert tickets for my sisters, socks and undies for my brothers… the list and decisions are never-ending.
Partners, parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, grandparents, cousins, friends, neighbours, teachers, co-workers, even the postman… yes my Mum gives our postman a present, last year was a bottle of Jamaican whisky which he absolutely loved. With so many people in our lives, it’s very hard to decide who to get something for and what to get for them. How much should I spend? Do you get the same thing for everyone? Do you forgo all the retail hype and make something instead? Do you shop online or in person?
If you’re like me, then you are probably procrastinating still about facing the hordes of shoppers. Christmas is only 9 days away, I guess I’d better get started!
