It's now December

So, it's now December. It's Christmas Time (to quote a famous 80s pop song, I love the 80s by the way), but I haven't done any Christmas shopping cos I'm going on a big holiday, to the other side of the world. I think I'm excited about it but I also hate spending money (thanks Dad for the Scottish ancestry!!). Should be fantastic, as some people have said to me, but I have to keep reminding them that I am paying for it. It has cost me money. So quit telling me I'm lucky. You pay my bills. So there. But. What else would I spend my savings on. Spending it on the mortgage is SO boring.
