I have been so busy that I haven’t noticed how quickly Christmas has come upon us this year… and I still haven’t finished my shopping!

I’m sitting here in Manchester City Centre with all the shops close at hand but whenever I venture into them, the mobs of people make it about impossible to actually make any purchases. This serves me right. I should have been buying presents all throughout the year like a sensible person. I’m just going to have to suck it up and get in there and throw a few elbows. You know, get into the holiday spirit.
