Festive Frolicks
So, Santa is almost upon us! (For those of you wondering why i'm here I have been 'discharged' from jury service - bloomin waste of time!) Im never really one to go over the top with Christmas but I am feeling pretty festive this year. I had a Christmas houseparty which (unfortunately) coincided with the Xfactor final so we 'had' to watch that. Despite being furious about the terrible renditions of
Hallelujah we put on the Slade and other Christmas cheese, and even broke out the crackers and party hats
The economy has made this a rather bizarre Christmas season though, as all the sales have started really early and presents are cheaper than ever. I have admittedly spent more than I usually would, partly because (as my mother often reminds me) now im in full-time employment I can finally buy decent presents! Also because it just seems so tempting with the sales. Should we be splurging out? It could be saving the economy but we'll definitely feel it in January...and is gratuitous spending really what Christmas
all about anyway?
