I love Christmas, but hate shopping. I guess it will be a little easier this year with a lot of people shopping online ;)

Paul, So true this write. 'Tis the season to be jolly Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Tom Lehrer said it so well "So let the raucous sleighbells jingle Hail our dear old friend Kriss Kringle Driving his reindeer across the sky... Don't stand underneath when they fly by." -Richard

An image I've seen many times Paul, the crowds and the pushing and shoving. I do try and avoid the shops as Christmas approaches. Good luck in the contest. Tom.

In this case we are very much alike, Tom!! I dislike last-minute shopping and crowds. Good thing Mrs Santa offers me a helping hand :) Happy Christmas to you and yours! // paul
