Didn't hit the hay till 2am and up again at 8
Still haven't hit the hay and have no intention what-so-ever of going shopping for anything I do or do not need....bugger the shops, tis nought but a commercial racket these days, anyhow.
All our X-mas shopping was done by the missus weeks ago, and there will be NO more....
no (none at all) decorations: no more gifts and no more Chrissie spending of any type.
With absolutely NO kiddies coming here at all, there is no point to extravagant X-mas spending....this year it all happens at my niece's place, the gifts for kids only are already bought, and we'll be taking a sufficient contribution of food which is already in the freezer awaiting the day.
It has become a family tradition in recent years that we only buy holiday gifts for the kids, because we adults know better and see no value any more in exchanging gifts, and get much more out of the family togetherness and sharing a banquet X-mas feast fit for royalty. scrooge starkers has spoken....bah humbug!
