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?

I have been buying presents online for years - Christmas displays in shops are my nemesis - you can't easily steer a wheelchair round the stuff they put on the end of aisles or round the stupid up and down lanes they make for the tills around xmas

I've been doing Christmas, and other shopping online for years as I hate the seasonal crowds. Generally I like looking in shops, but at Christmas it all turns into predictable and boring gift sets. I've only really got my daughter to buy for so I like to choose things that are individual to her.

Made a list beforehand, shopping completed in under an hour Will all arrive in next few days Gift wrap already bought (sales last year)so everything will be ready to be posted by the end of next week.

We all have our troubles, Emmie, but I’m a firm believer in that old adage - ‘Laugh and the world laughs with you - cry and you cry alone’. Being miserable never did anyone any good.

Love Christmas, my tree,the lights and the sparkle - brightens up the darker days and nights.

I may well be hurting and alone but still love it.

Done most of my seasonal shopping.

The Christmas sub topic will be good for some festive music nearer the time, it even used to have snowfall in there.

Always made me giggle.

^ Same here, love all the sparkle and the twinkling lights.
