are you surrounded by people without calendars or sense of time, like i am? everyone keeps saying 'I can't believe it's already Christmas' as if some joker has decided to bring it forward by a couple of months. someone in the office just said they needed to buy their xmas cards, to which i replied that i'd already posted mine. 'you're early,' she informed me. 'it's xmas day two weeks today,' i pointed out (with the merest hint of smugness). you'd think i'd told her i'd peed in the last cup of tea i made her, by the look on her face. suffice to say, she, like many others, was labouring under the impression that this Xmas had been postponed until Feb 2009 so she still had plenty of time to get everything done. she was last seen hotfooting it to Hamley's. i shouldn't imagine she'll be back much before xmas eve.
i've finished most of my present buying, too. the only things i've still got to by are a box of chocolates for my nan (who's just come out as a Christmas hater – meaning she hates xmas rather than being a seasonal misanthropist, which she is all year round) and something little for my mum.
