My motto this year is "if I haven't got it hard luck" the shops are closed for one day, and it'll probably be in a sale on Boxing Day

That's what upsets me the most about Christmas these days - that on up to 26th December everything is so expensive and the boom day after "the Big Day" its all half price! Years ago it used to be that you had to wait until New Year sales before grabbing a bargain.

That's what I remember. A gentle run up to the 25th: Granma and I choose the turkey at Half Term and a label was put onto it's leg. Family would help prepare veg. etc..
Then shops would close from noon C.mas Eve for several days. Sales began seriously on 1st Jan..

Thats what I remember too.
And the carol singing.
I used to go round and sing with friends outside peoples houses.
(Maybe that's why it all stopped, they heard my terrible voice) 😀
But seriously, it's just not the same these days.
But I'm sure the next generation will be saying the same too.

Yep Christmas Eve until 1st Jan - if you hadn't bought and they didn't sell it in the one corner shop in the district whose year it was to be open over the festive period, you had to do without!!

Maybe it will all come round again,the simplicity I mean.

Easier at this time of year to Get On and not delegate?
We are selling a property. The Agents sent DH a C.mas card, all personally signed by those in the office ....... now we may be recently bereaved, Jewish, Muslim ....... I would rather that the staff put their energy into selling our property, shows that they aren't busy

I'll second that Shadyglade.
Everything has always been on my plate too.
It can be quite stressful, but make sure you leave sometime for yourself too.
Your time is just as much as important as everyone else's.

Still need to make the treats we normally like to give out to neighbors and friends with a small gift...but I'm not very motivated. I was hoping the family would do more of it this year as I'm exhausted/sleep deprived. No such luck it seems. Hubby is as exhausted as I am and the children....well,
.
It just might not happen this year and oh well if it doesn't.

Simplicity in all things! Wow I think that would be good.
I think life is just far too complicated....everything you think is "simple - only take 5 mins" turns out to take hours! The tech that is supposed to make it simple is usually the stuff I have trouble with - either it's not working at all like printer out of ink when you need something NOW or "there is an unexpected item in the bagging area" or "there are no available to take your call" and the worst one is when you are halfway through filling in something online and the website times out! oh no here's another one - GP's who make a simple request complicated! and one that really gets my goat online shops not sending goods to Northern Ireland despite it being in the UK, with UK postcodes and the fact that Royal Mail does in fact deliver and work here!
Maybe we can pool our collective conciousness and send the universe a wish for a simpler 2019!
Just off to Iceland for some nibbles - wonder how that will go?

I LOVE Boxing day.
Cold turkey and ham. Bubble and squeak. My lot all go out to a football match so I have the house, TV and chocolates all to myself.
Wonderful.
