Chapter One

Early Preparations

Just a few days to go before Christmas Day, but are you fully prepared? Is there a Christmas Card you have forgotten to send? If there is, you had better hurry before it is too late unless you plan to give it personally or you don't mind if they receive it late.

Have you ordered your turkey for picking up on Christmas Eve?

The shops have been prepared for Christmas for several months, and the numerous advertisements on the television are their means of competing for your business.

Although we know that Christmas Day always falls on the 25th December, it seems to come upon us suddenly, even though the shops have been reminding us of it for several months.
