Surviving the Hornet's nest

Desmond1979

This afternoon, I went to Lidl in town; getting oranges. It opened at 1 pm, but customers were allowed in at 12:50 pm. While waiting for the till to start, at one, the Christmas Music was on - Michael Bublé - and there were chocolate Santas; next to the till.

I had a bit of crack, with the other ones waiting, before I was allowed to get my oranges paid. But it still outlines the overkill of the Festive Period.

  • You did well for getting through it. I try to avoid supermarkets this time of year, the music and decorations, and increase of Christmas shoppers makes it one big sensory overload for me. I went to the supermarket just before Halloween and saw Christmas toys and decorations already on the shelves. People go mad for Christmas, not an autistic friendly time of year.
