I'm Quite Liking This Christmas Shopping Online

[Bobbisox1]

First time ever , normally I love the buzz of the shops ,the Christmas music playing everywhere but this years different and it's too soon to ask Alexa to play Last Christmas...isn't it?

[emmie]

i do mine online any way bobbi. it's easier than schlepping round the shops in the cold and damp. plus if it doesn't fit, go with or whatever one can get the courier to take it back.

[Bobbisox1]

I've been doing it since getting up Emmie , you can easily get carried away tho haha

[emmie]

as have i - i bought loads of goods from one trader, much has had to go back as it's too big, too long, as in the case of trousers. and too small as in the case of the nice boots i bought.
as i am under the weather currently, i am even getting meds like voltarol on line.

[Bobbisox1]

Can't say I blame you Emmie, the online shopping will make a killing this year , it's a real shame for those smaller businesses isn't it?

[Cloverjo]

Oh is it coming up to Christmas already? Must get buying soon.
I always buy online anyway. Can’t bear schlepping round the shops at the best of times.

[emmie]

no Christmas music for me unless they are Christmas carols. I hate all the mawkish stuff they play in shops, so online shopping for me is ideal, no slade for one thing,

[emmie]

morning Jo, me neither and yes it's only 8 weeks off.

[ummmm]

I just don't buy presents. Although it was sons birthday last week and because they can't go out I sent him alcohol via Amazon.

[emmie]

i send vouchers for some and alcohol for others.

[douglas9401]

No Slade?

IT'S CHRISTMAAASSS!

[Cloverjo]

I didn’t know you could buy alcohol via Amazon. That’s handy.

[emmie]

its effin well not, that is a vile bit of music.... does my head in

[emmie]

you can get anything on Amazon.

[Bobbisox1]

Love it Doogie, when you hear the till ringing and Noddy goes into action

[Old_Geezer]

Shopping, like, shopping, Christmas.... no, it does not compute !

You can ask for whatever music you wish. November Xmas music should stop folk spoiling your covid isolation too, as an extra bonus.

Love going round the shops myself and listening to all the Christmas songs and seeing all the festive treats on offer. It feels magical in a way. Hope we can get back to shopping normally after 2 December because I won't shop online. Good job the supermarkets sell some nice things for Christmas.

I can come and switch on the Christmas lights in your house, Bobbi, my fees are quite reasonable.

[Bobbisox1]

And will you pay me leccy bill too jno haha

I don’t much like shopping especially when I don't know what to buy people - but I love all the cheesy Christmas songs the shops have playing…. and don’t tell anyone but I like setting all those funny animated Christmas trees and snowmen off too and watching them sing and dance on the shelves. I like jolly!

[emmie]

i don't do jolly, especially not at the moment. i love traditional carols however and will happily play them at the right time. Having a birthday on the day doesn't always help....
