If I see something nice while I'm out I buy it and put it in the cupboard. I can't do Christmas shopping in December as I don't have time with all the tax returns and work to do. I hate crowds so December is a no no for me round the shops! I disagree with shops putting up decorations until December - it spoils the whole spirit of Christmas seeing them in November! |

The rest was up to Santa. We would all wake up early and sneak down to the living room and take a peek. It was like magic. Everything sparkled. The tree was all decorated with pretty wrapped gifts underneath. Santa's cookies were always gone. Lot's of good memories. |
