Thanks, that was just what I needed to read first thing in a morning, pointing out my inefficiency and un-preparedness. Eeeek! Shocked

I hate shopping too... Esp. with my certain friends spending hours in only one shop. And you may guess we visit plenty of them... Sad

same every year... I love giving presents but shopping for hours... Rolling Eyes

I got taken to see Santa when i was a kid, i started crying and refused to go in his grotto, there was no way i was sitting on the knee of by far the strangest man i'd ever seen.

I love Christmas, but the older you get, the more stressful it gets, when you have to balance two lots of families, plan catering, gifts, sending cards etc. and I suspect that in many households, the lion's share of the thinking and planning is done by the women/mothers. I enjoy it, but it's bloody hard work. I feel masses better since the weekend, when a lot of decisions were made, plans finalised and potential problems overcome. I just need to actually shop now.

The web has made some aspects easier though - I've battled for years with gift ideas for family in Australia - you have to buy things that are light and won't damage in the post and then pay more than the value of the gift in postage - I made the mistake one year of sending something surface and they didn't get it until the following September. But I can now order any number of gifts on-line, fill in a form, write my greeting and specifiy a delivery date and have it done from right here, without wasting all that postage. This year I've sent a luxury chocolate hamper for a total of less than 30 pounds, to arrive Christmas week. Over the years I've sent wine, brandy, cakes and garden plants.
