What are your plans for Xmas this year?

Sk8r Girl

Personally I love Xmas. It's my fave time of year Santa tone1 Christmas tree I love the music, spending time with family; my little sister still gets soo excited Blush and I love watching the Xmas movies. Everything just feels so amazing this time of year for me. 

The downside for me is how busy the shops get, the pushing and shoving of other people, the overbearing loud music. If I could stay in my house all through December I would! Sweat smile Going out this time of year feels like being in the middle of a riot. Last year I got shoved so hard I fell and sprained my wrist. I wish people wouldn't go so OTT in the shops.

This year I'll be having a quiet Xmas with my family. We'll watch Xmas movies on Xmas Eve, my little sister will wake me super early on the 25th as usual lol and I still need to finish my shopping. Buying gifts is my fave part, I really think hard about what people will want and enjoy. It's like a challenge and I love it!

What are your own plans?

    I don't blame you! Shops are crazy this year. Everyone is in a rush and you get so much pushing and shoving, feel like you need a riot shield or something lol.

    I hope you and your partner enjoy your Xmas day. I love the quiet ones, they are my faves and the ones I always look forward to. This year shouldn't be too busy for me. X

    After Halloween, it goes full-on Christmas in most high streets and shopping malls and the only time I ordered anything online was during Covid, as getting online deliveries in my area where I live alone is a real hassle, even though they use couriers - Royal Mail has entered into agreements from decades ago with the local council not to deliver anything larger than a letter to council properties in their area, to stop people from running businesses from home and for the same reason for many decades, they stopped council tenants from having landlines in council properties, none of which makes any sense in our times, when people are practically required to be online 24/7 and where Royal Mail have not moved with the times either - some private companies similar to Amazon Lockers have put up delivery lockers opposite the local ASDA in our area, but I never see them getting used that much and instead I see most people having to do the “walk of shame” up to the Royal Mail sorting/delivery office to collect their parcels - companies should also have a better system when someone is not going to be in to collect their parcel
