Don't you just love when people piddle on your parade? I unintentionally did it to my daughter in Aldi I stupidly used my last €2 coin elsewhere and got a basket as the tills were busy, I changed my mind a queued up for a coin as I realised I was asked to get beer and it would be too heavy to lug around. The lady ahead took an age to sort herself and pay( which is fine as it was my problem). My daughter came up to me with a Ginger Bread house and I said sure we can put it in the trolley after, she thought I was dismissing her and never got it after. That was a Friday and on Sunday she said this. My Mother promptly said 'What do want that for, it's crap and what age are you? 'My girl is 13 -we never really did the Ginger Bread House when she was younger so she would just like the novelty of it. Santy is gone so it would be nice to have something else Christmassy and lots of her relatives have died or she doesn't see them so you know, give her a break.
I feel like buying a village of them a gifting them to my Mother and the rest of my family. I doubt they will appreciate it but we could place bets on who makes the most disgusted face or who says the fakest thank you. Might make it more interesting. I really am over even trying to buy for them as I don't know what they would like, it would have to fit in a suitcase (if they even want to take it with) and I'm not rich so can't actually buy expensive items that they might still not even want.
I feel Grinchy, before he turned good. Its Mr Frosty All over again. One year I was too young for him, the following too old. I think I might start a new tradition of giving a Ginger Bread House every year.
