Didn't you see the John Lewis ad?

I have enjoyed a 'cheque book' Christmas this year due to my wife's illness.
All the children and grandchildren seem to think it a good idea. [so did I ]

Just Been to the tree house at Alnwick Castle this afternoon. Santa was in one of the houses. Young Bradley waves at santa and says "ave been a good boy". 2 secs later he says " coz i want some presents".

Can't fail to get in the festive spirit in my house, looks like an explosion in a christmas decorations factory................

Rather a subdued feeling in the hospital with decorations frowned up and minimal where there are any at all. It's the Xmas prize draw at the club on Thursday so that's normally a sign that we're in the final run up. I went shopping in Reading last night expecting it to be heaving. No crowds, barely any queues at the tills and all the presents done in ninety minutes including 15-20 minutes in Waterstones perusing the books. Cushty. I could get HID one extra pressie (and she's worth it) but we're trying to be frugal and stick to a budget. It looks like Chrimbo chez Homer with the tree up and the pressies at the bottom

OK, I'll say it.

Must Be Brexit!

It just seems 2016 is that sort of year, I don't think it's going to be remembered for many good things.

Too right, what a crap year it's been, Bowie does 9 days in and then it's been a steady stream of awfulness since. Still, could be worse



Don't like his music but Blunt is an absolute legend on twitter, definitely worth a follow.

Cant wait for the 26th, tree down, cards away and all back to normal.

Bundle of laughs in your house then.

Glasgow is absolutely mental at the moment. I work City centre and it's normally busy but the last two weeks have been as busy as I have seen it in 4 years. With the lights up on the Frasers building on Buchanan St, it definitely looks and feels like Christmas. Just need a little snow now.

Always loved going into Frasers at Christmas - the atrium is always beautifully decorated and looks stunning. Though the top floor of C&As in Argyle Street at Christmas when it was in full 'Toy Mode' was possibly my favourite aspect of Christmas - that and driving into the city centre to see the Christmas lights. But I am thinking back to the mid-late 1960s, early 70s.

The shops are very quiet in my town. I'll bet the Trauma Centre is rammed!
