It is unusual for me to be ahead with the Christmas present buying. For many years Rebecca and I have done the last minute run-around, racing around shops with a limited budget just a few days before Christmas in the hope that there are some decent things left to purchase.
But not this year, this year is different, because this year for the first time before the end of November I have managed to get the big presents for most of the direct family, Simon, Sophie, Kieran and Rebecca are sorted, and this year for the first time I have not set foot into a shop. Everything that has been bought so far has come from the internet, and I wont be in the least bit surprised if this year Rebecca and I sit and browse through web pages to choose presents for our parents and siblings, it is easier on the feet and after choosing a quick run to www.myvouchercodes.co.uk (or similar web site) can often get you five or ten percent discount.
I have just completed my Christmas wish list (available to all upon request) and all of it is web based, in fact if I get the things I want Amazon will do well this year.
So come on Christmas, for once I am not frightened of you, and that feels quite good.
I used to be the person who was finished shopping by the time November started. Now I am the last minute girl.

I miss that last minute rush, not quite knowing what you are going to end up with, but knowing that whatever it is, it will be good and they will be happy, and really they always are, because there are plenty of relatives out there to contribute to the key wants.
