It’s almost Christmas again – hasn’t this year raced by?  It
hardly seems any time since last Christmas and New Year’s parties.

As usual at this time of year, the shop’s are becoming madhouses,
even with the global recession, and are a good place to stay away
from if possible.  Online shopping looks better every year, especially
if you dislike crowds!

Christmas seemed to start earlier than usual this year, with the shops
carrying holiday merchandise from October.   Who knows when it
will start next year – September, perhaps?    I guess I’m becoming a
little cynical about it all.    Just call me Scrooge!

Anyway, just to show I do have a heart, here’s a Christmas Image for you. Happy Holidays!
