What's so good about our adverts?
I got my Christmas wrapping done weeks ago.
In contrast, Mummy is running around this morning looking for scissors, sellotape and wrapping paper to get her presents all done in time for Santa.
Nipped out to Tescos earlier to pick up some bits and bobs before its closes for Christmas Day and Boxing Day. That'll keep us going for a while. If not, we'll have to knock on our neighbours door with a begging bowl.
Ben is not getting overly excited about Santa coming I have to say.
And there was me thinking he'd get all excited this year because he understands it a bit more. Maybe he will tonight when we tell him a story about it, but at the moment, he's just his usual self.
Christmas TV looking solid. Don't think I'll need to touch the remote control once on Christmas Day. Everything decent is on BBC1.
That can't be a healthy state of affairs though can it? The recession must be hitting ITV hard as there used to be healthy rivalry and competition in the television market over the Christmas period. Now, it appears, the Beeb have an unhealthy monopoly.
Still, we're spoilt for good TV in this country. A Norwegian friend of mine once told me that thing he missed most about the UK when he went back to Norway was our adverts. Yeah.
Any Americans reading this won't know what an advert is. If you are American and you do not know what an 'advert' is, I say, "Like, kinda, go figure that."
Well, I guess we do do irony well in this country, don't we.
Have a great Christmas everyone.
