Spotted a Christmas tree 🎄 in a house window the other day.

I'm always relieved when it's all over and I can take the tree down.

We usually put ours up on advent Sunday which means I peak too early and take it down the day after boxing day. Trying to hold out longer before putting it up this year!

I'm going Christmas shopping tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get all the gifts in one go. If not, there's always Amazon 🙂

With 2 adult kids and no grandkids it's very tempting to go away for Christmas.

As one did a few years back, and I don’t think they got their money back either! 🤬😢

Those poor people had nothing for Xmas.  :'(

Those types of saving schemes were common when I was growing up.  It was more in recent years that these Clubs went bust.
