Finally getting into the Christmas spirit...

[Fab Foodie]

...I am not a fan of Christmas, but thought I'd make an attempt at being festive for a change.

I am growing a Santa Claus beard, even got the grey to make it look authentic

This is the longest I've ever lasted not shaving, usually got fed up by now

Anyone else struggle to get excited by the festive season?

Am struggling to get excited by that photo....

Well today is the shortest day.

Hurrah!

40 mins left and I'm going home.

I finished at 1130 to allow time to walk the dog to the pub :-)

Why were you trying to get excited by looking at that photo?

Well, I thought I'd start my very small amount of Christmas shopping this morning, 10 minute drive to the supermarket, 15 minutes spent circling the carpark in vain, no spaces anywhere.

Went home

Doing mine in the morning. I will be going VERY early to beat the rush, I don't think anyone else will think of that...…

It was fine. We squeezed the old bus into the last remaining parking spot which, as luck would have it, was right by the exit so there would be no endless queuing to get out of the car park for us
We were in M&S by 7.05 and next door in Sainsbury's half an hour later. All done and driving smugly out of the exit at just gone 8.30

A slick operation, executed with military precision. I pity the fools that think they will do the shopping later in the day, it was starting to get a bit messy by 8am....

Hi @potsy
When I clicked on this thread, the last thing I expected to see was Potsy's beard!


Last minute shopping done.
I was home by 8

It must be time to start the Christmas spirits then?

I am actually excited by the fact that , come the big day we will no longer be spending money, already told the wife, it has to stop, and I am so looking forward to a month of January where we will not be spending anything unless absolutely necessary, that is greatest gift of Christmas for me!

And when did you convert to half full, @Accy cyclist?

Sometimes it is,sometimes it isn't.
