Thank heaven for vouchers! Apart from the youngest children, who, understandably love presents to open, they are a safe but acceptable option. I love to receive them myself, especially book tokens - nothing like a good long browse in a bookshop! |

I used to get terribly stressed over the whole Christmas business, but as I've got older, I've learned to cope much better. Commercial pressure has a lot to answer for. |

I think the key word for me is I "Avoided" it until the last minute which made everything so much more hectic. It is amazing how everthing seems to come together in the end.............. |

I must admit that Christmas for me used to be all rush, and fuss with lots of work and never enough time. I love giviing presents but hated shopping for them when the shops were packed . I always avoided buying Christmas presents early, possibly because I was too busy doing other things. I did not enjoy the build up, but always loved it when the time came,. Miraculously, somehow I was always organised at the last minute. However this year is the first Christmas I have not been working full time, so I am well ahead, I have brought and wrapped almost all of the presents, and done some food shopping. I am actually enjoying it. Bring it on! ;-) |
