Day One: 30-Day Bloggers Group challenge. Talk Tuesday: With Christmas right around the corner (there are only eight more Fridays 'til then!)...do you pick up gifts here and there throughout the year, do you try to get as much as you can in as few trips as possible, or are you a last-minute shopper? And if you don't celebrate Christmas, tell us about your favorite gift-giving occasion. So, today I took delivery of six unicorns. Or, more precisely, two unicorn-shaped lip balms, two unicorn-shaped tape dispensers (the rainbow coloured tape makes the tail ) and two shower caps vaguely resembling the LSD taking lovechild of a white pony and a rhinoceros. All stocking fillers for my sisters (aged 29 and 25. What of it?). I love buying things - for me, for others. Who cares (apart from my bank card?), but I do hate, hate, hate Christmas shopping. Mostly because that many people crammed into overheated shops, bratty kids with sticky fingers breaking stuff, and the general spirit of no-cheer. Throw into the mix that December is the busiest month of the year at work (I'm a pharmacist and woe-betide the chemist that dare close for a full two days) and I get a bit cranky. So hooray for Amazon and horses with spikes sticking out of their heads. PS The ScaryMaster isn't it time we had a unicorn emoji? |
