Christmas normally catches me in a bit of a funk… but not this year.

It’s a little bit of everything on top of Wednesday’s event:

- I’ve enjoyed every minute of grocery shopping because, at the end of the month, I get to send the receipts to Sainsbury’s to show them how much money they missed out on.

- Woolworths didn’t get a look-in, either. In fact, we almost managed to avoid the High St altogether. The bulk of our shopping was done online (primarily with Amazon and eBay).

- We’re giving ethical gifts amongst members of the extended family. I can picture little Boubakar now, opening his present and exclaiming; “Oh, great! Another bloody goat! What does a guy have to do to get a pair of socks around here?”

- While I was poking around eBay earlier this month, I happened across not one but two bulk lots of Spire Christian comics. You should expect a post on this subject sometime in 2006. In the meantime, I wish to tempt you with this glorious cover.

- Oh, go on then…. it is Christmas, after all.
