It's Christmas soon!! And it makes me so glad when I look around the place that I don't 'do' Christmas! It's not that I'm a scrooge type that doesn't enjoy anything nice and fun.....but really, find me something nice and fun about the commercialism of Christmas.
I don't mean that I shut the door and turn all the lights off waiting with a loaded shotgun for Father Christmas to tumble out of my fireplace, what I do mean is that you won't catch me queueing in any of the high street shops, plastic card in hand, spending ridiculous amounts of money on mass produced rubbish that the unsuspecting recipient doesn't even want.......
So, look who we found in Bournemouth Square.....it looks like someone already got there with the shot gun idea...and maybe that horrid 'wax dipped teddy' idea wasn't so novel after all - Lisa?
So how did I get on with 'Buy Nothing Day' on Saturday?? well, of course I bought nothing! and did I encourage anyone else to follow suit and scrap commercialism just for one day?? no, of course I didn't!

You could always buy someone an iphone for Christmas :p that's not mass produced or over-loaded with consumerism or anything...
(sorry, couldn't resist)
now, if i felt that someone needed an iphone i would not think badly of them for getting one....... xx
if there was no unsuspecting recipient and the iphone was definately wanted that is........
an iphone is not just for christmas, one hopes they last a little longer than that!!!
