all right, I know that
Christmas is at a bad time this year. For us at least, you can go
shopping up until 2 p.m. on the 24th though. Friday and
Saturday then are Christmas Day and Boxing Day and the next “normal”
day is stupidly a Sunday. Which, in my humble opinion, doesn't
explain or justify the panic buying, some certain people are
currently doing. While I was standing in line at the cash register
for lettuce for my guinea pigs, I overheard the female cashier at the
cash register next to me, tell a buyer that they are actually out of
some stuff even at the headquarters, because certain things were
bought so often. While some people were speaking of shopping “like
for a war time”, others were talking of shopping like for a nuclear
blast that was ahead. In any case totally insane. Yes, there are some
holidays and most people probably have visitors coming over and are
cooking a couple of courses, rather than the usual single meal plus
maybe a small starter and/or dessert. And yet...
On the way back from
shopping I came past a house where a group of people were going back
and forth between the car and the house entrance. In the hallway I
could see four six-packs of water. After I told that to a friend of
mine, he suggested, I should have asked what they need all that water
for. Even if one partied three days straight with 30 people, I could
hardly imagine them drinking all that water up.
By the way: a Christmas
hat I searched for on the 24th for in about six or so
shops, including toy shops and as well as variety stores, turned out
to be utterly unsuccessful. Christmas hats were of course sold out.
May we all survive the
long four days without possibility of shopping head of us! Merry
headless Christmas to you all! ;-)
What kind of shopping
experiences before Christmas or on Boxing day did you have this year?
Until next blog,
sarah
