Christmas Time...Mistletoe And Wine
Last night I finished my Christmas shopping and I am so super excited about that fact that it is actually rather unreal to me. A few general thought about Christmas shopping, make a list and check it twice, I thought that I had my list finished, turns out, no, hence me having to go back last night and finish up. Be ruthless, if there is a long queue skip it, but not in a brash way, be all "oooh no these books are really heavy, I feel like I am about to faint etc" people will move out of your way, don't under any circumstances go shopping for yourself at the same time, this will result in extreme pain in your arms from carrying the presents in the paper bags and also all of the loot you are frantically grabbing for yourself. Don't bring a friend. It's too distracting, go it alone, people are assholes, Dundrum is great because it opens until 9 every day mid week even a Monday, which is when I normally go anyway, Babs no likey crowds, last night there were crowds, not big ones, but they were there. I met my friend there for hot choclate, the girl in Butlers asks "do you want whipped cream?" nicely to the two of us, we both gave her scornful looks which meant "load it on up there missus" mmm, it was lovely, but unfortunatly Butlers does not provide tea spoons for the take away hot choc so I walked around Dundrum licking the chocolate bits from the top of my cup, I had no choice, if they melt in its so not the same.
We went into La Senza (the undies shop) and really I was quite disgusted, I did also almost get kicked out for basically pissing myself laughing, some of the stuff in there was so Ann Summers, as in, yock!! I will describe one item and you can make your own judgements, it was a g-string, made of this horrible shiny material, with a, oh god its hard for me to find the words, it had a zip down the front, I mean, can you not just take them off if you are going to be getting busy, a zip, about 2 inches long, ew, they were vile. They also had mens stuff which I had never seen before in there. I am sad, they have dropped their standards, in other words, I'll not be going there again, yock!
(PS: Apologies to Matt for talking about underwear...again).

As a bloke, can I just point out that zips on ladies undergarments are terribly impractical, not to mention quite dangerous.
That said, they can look quite nice.
On the whole Chrimbo shopping malarkey, I must say that going shopping with your respective other can be quite constructive, as opposed to going with a friend, which can result in certain death.

Other people distract me. This pair of undies with the zip were NOT attractive, they looked like pound shop tat, or rather 2Euro shop tat. Oooh in other underwear news, Penneys are now stocking PVC bras, pants and basques, yock!
