It is actually New Year that is my least favourite time...<BR/><BR/>Ginro - You should have said sooner I had a spare ticket... There were some fun toys for boys and some pink fluffy things for girls!<BR/><BR/>Dragonstar - Usually it a great event to go to, I have been for a number of years (not many kids go). It was always about small independent firms with affordable quality merchandise. Quite different, special and unique gifts. This year however I think the financial crisis has had an effect and all the usual class stuff wasn't there. I hope it doesn't mean those small traders have gone out of business..<BR/><BR/>Jams - You need to tell me the secret of how you got organised so soon...<BR/><BR/>Ellee - I actually love it too as long as it doesn't start too soon ;-) The best thing I enjoyed about today was the Christmas Carols. They always have a special meaning for me.<BR/><BR/>Welshcakes - That timescale reminds me of days gone by. The Santa is rather a cutie isn't he :-)CherryPiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350365590048818899.post-18637518103280502002008-11-21T20:34:00.000Z2008-11-21T20:34:00.000ZNo one has started Xmas over here!

"Hassle-free shopping"? With the place full of kids and people? They must be joking!!!<BR/><BR/>The shops here were full of Christmas stuff at the same time as the Halloween stuff - mid-October! They'll be selling it all with the back-to-school stuff soon. In case you have any doubt - I <B>hate</B> all the commercialism!Dragonstarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350365590048818899.post-38220892465898609432008-11-21T06:00:00.000Z2008-11-21T06:00:00.000ZWill you take me with you CherryPie?
