I'm feeling very festive, hence the bright red text, I finished my Christmas shopping today. I still need to get stocking fillers but all in all its done. It has been a hard slog, but I guess it will be worth it. Until No.1 and No.2 sons break everything. And start fighting (at about 11am on Christmas morning). But I'm in such a good mood I may even put the tree up tomorrow. I usually leave it until the last possible minute, because I'm so behind with Christmas shopping, and the tree is just a visual constant reminder of everything I still need to do. But not this year, and I feel quite proud. I remember one year, with a week to go, just starting the shopping. It was actually how I imagine hell. I'm not a huge fan of shopping as it is, and the seasonal madness that is Christmas shopping is just a nightmare. Working in a supermarket doesn't help my loathing of shopping either. It's been almost a year since I worked during trading hours, but the memory of holiday shoppers still haunts me. But back to the tree. I need to find a spot where Oscar can't reach, it's his first Christmas, and he's an excitable puppy at the best of times. I can see him having lots of fun with my carefully decorated tree. I think I need replacement bulbs for the lights, I put them away last year, broken, they hadn't worked for a good few days. Roll on Christmas, I'm ready for you this year.
