The rain, it raineth every day
Thousands of people moving at a pace that would put a snail to shame.
Prams the size of the Titanic.
Losing your list.
Queues barely moving.
Tat everywhere.
Every shop you enter assaults the ears with 'seasonal music'.
Barely buy a quarter of the things you wanted.
People who think washing is an optional extra.
Every shop assistant adorned with garish Christmas paraphernalia, usually topped of with some execrable head ornamentation.

Give up and go to the pub, only to find office workers released from their mundane drudgery, hogging the bar with their lurid cocktails and half pints of fizzy lager, drunkenly singing Slade and Wizard songs while you struggle to catch the attention of the ditzy barmaid.
Go home, make a new list and do it all tomorrow.

Happy Christmas

I’m in the rare position whereby I’ve got all mine done, but I’ve still got to wrap it all. Usually do it with a few beers and Christmas songs playing in the background - it’s very easy to tell the first few presents I’ve done from the last few by the deteriorating quality of wrapping. Still, it’s the thought that counts... :coffee:
 
Bought the wife's present online, also got her in the family secret Santa, bought that online.Job done, she buys all the others, I give her my half of the bill.

Changes vote to shut up misery guts
 
Did most of mine online. For everything else, I choose a midweek night after work - drive to town and get everything else in the space of a couple of hours. No messing about.

Only thing worse is Christmas shopping in Ikea.

If Dante had been around now, he`d have added this as another circle of hell.

It’s the way they make you basically go through the place like donkeys on a treadmill that gets me - but all that grief in the shop is just a precursor to the utter misery of the flat pack hell that awaits once you’re back indoors...

It`s everything about the place.

The arrows on the floor get me big time.

Remove brain, follow arrows.

You just have to look at the faces of all the fellas in the place, to see that every fella is thinking the same thing - I`d rather be anywhere, than here.
