Granny’s nightmare before Christmas

Thank you - that's so fitting. You're so clever..

Brilliant maw, it sounds suspiciously like my pre festive season life! The only thing missing is the bit about much headscratching to remember what amounts I’ve promised to transfer to which dd or dil to purchase what, and for which teenager on my behalf....and the various passwords involved in the execution of it all...pass the mulled wine!

Yes!
And I must get cracking.

(Although I did wonder if this would be another thread about HM!)

Love this poem, very clever Maw! And it certainly applies to me. As I sit here my Christmas list is at my side and most presents have been ticked off, all bought online. But there are still a few small gifts that I'll have to brave the shops for. I have more or less solved the delivery problem by having a large parcel box near the door and our postman and most couriers know it's safe to leave parcels there. But there's always the odd one who absolutely insists on a signature.

With you all the way Maw! ?

love it Maw.
I'm a bit of both, internet and wandering round the shops. I know which I prefer now I'm getting older.
Shop shopping on Friday with my daughter. I feel worn out just thinking about it.

You are so right Maw! I am slightly starting to worry, as I haven’t really started yet and we have a present exchange next weekend. ?
