Christmas Shopping

Here I am, busy doing my Christmas shopping, all from the comfort of my desk.  How times have changed, no more that hassle of pushing through crowds, joining long queues to pay, catching the bus home laden down with bags . . . . so much simpler now - a simple click or two and some days later a parcel arrives.  But as I sit here and ponder I do remember with fondness that sense of camaraderie which went with the shopping - yes, it was hassle but we were all in it together, everyone was on the same mission, and it meant Christmas was getting near.    Feeling nostalgic!  Better get on with some more online ordering I guess!
