Christmas time! Mince Pies and Humbugs

Good lord!  Is it getting to Christmas already!?

Things I like about Christmas:

• A week off!  Yay! 
• Buying presents for people!
• Receiving presents!
• Christmas dinner!
• Christmas foods!
• Spending time with friends and family!
• Copious quantities of alcohol!

Things I have problems with:

• Working out what to buy for people.
• Where do I put all these presents!?
• My dad's refusal to be interested in any aspect of Christmas except dinner. 
• Christmas songs in shops! There seems to be about 10 of them and all the shops play the same songs.  And no, I'm *not* doing Christmas shopping in the 99p shop!

Thing is, I like unwrapping presents.  I like other people unwrapping mine.  Essential people I need to buy for are nephew (He's 5.  Toy shops are good), brother (already sorted, slightly by accident), sister-in-law (tricky), grandmother(also tricky), and parents (no idea)!

This has been a ramble with no real point.  I felt I was neglecting LJ a little.
