Hard Yards
Yesterday was the first round of Christmas shopping. Jenny & Rasool were visiting so to the shops we went. Ouch - feet still sore from the 8 hours of shopping that we did. The main point is that we were pretty successful so only another couple of small trips are required.
I know folk think I’m mad doing real life shopping when Amazon can make it so much easier but it is so impersonal to order Christmas gifts that way. I hate to think of presents arriving at the house like that when I can easily pop into town and make an effort to buy them - makes it feel more like a gift. Also allows you to browse and see things you just wouldn’t see online.
Online I tend to go to certain sites, search for specific items - I find it hard to just browse. Shopping in the real world….things catch my eye, idea’s pop into my head, apple cake tastes really nice. Today was also another task that I HATE doing. Wrapping presents. It’s such a pointless exercise but we all still do it. Better watch - ghost of Christmas past will be visiting if I keep this up.
