Christmas Shopping Traditions

Charles_Harding · 11th November 2006, 12:40

Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the approaching Holiday Season.

It's that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing the centuries old traditions such as trying to find a parking space in the local shopping centre.

We traditionally do this in my family by driving round the car-park until we see a shopper emerge from a store, then we follow them, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space.

If it starts to rain when you finally discover your goal Charles, do you reverse in or reverse out ?

Oh dear - I'll get into terrible trouble if I answer this one!

Don't encourage him

Encouragement is one thing our Mr H is not in need of.
He's not backward in coming forward
(that's when it's fine weather).
