and all through the house, not a present is wrapped, a tree trimmed or a garland hung.....!
(Actually, not quite true, I did introduce the dried hydrangeas to their new home adorning the moss covered wreath ring & after I'd hung it on the front door, noticed that Sarah Raven says specifically to put it INSIDE).....
Am I the only one who seems to suffer from 'week before Christmas syndrome'? There descends a sudden and inexplicable 'fog' meaning I can't remember what I bought for whom, the day slips by without most of the things on my 'to do' list getting done, and worst of all, when I get to the shops it feels as if I've just stepped onto another planet....all reason departs and 'Christmas panic' sets in...
There's only one thing I can imagine at this time of year which could be worse than having 'Christmas syndrome' - and that's being a sales assistant whose particularly unfortunate lot it is to serve those of us who struggle in it's grip.....waiting patiently with an ever more fixated smile whilst we deliberate over the brown or the black....or was it the red or the green....?
So, I urge you all to spare a thought this week for the sales assistants who (on the whole) valiantly encourage and soothe the most frazzled Christmas shopper and still manage to muster a happy Christmas wish even after we have driven them to distraction and dragged them along to 'Indecision City' with us.....take heart girls, only 8 more shopping days to go........s
