Christmas Is Coming

Should We be Running The Other Way??

christmas, christmas goose, christmas is coming the goose it getting fat

"Christmas is coming,
The geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny
In the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny,
A ha'penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha'penny,
Then God bless you."

It’s hard to believe I know, but generally I’m abit of a grump about Christmas ...

‘it’s too commercialised ...’
‘it starts too early ... just like when the supermarkets put Easter Eggs on the shelves in New Year, they start Christmas around September time ...’
‘I’m looking forward to getting the gift I never wanted from the relative I haven’t spoken to since last Christmas ... ah families eh?’
‘the shops are full of stressed Christmas shoppers trying to find the perfect gift for the pickiest person in the world ...'

I’m sure you’ve loads more moans than I about Christmas ...

But this year I’m determined to make the best of the festive season ...

Two Wests Is Counting Down To Christmas ...

At Two Wests & Elliott we spend the last weeks in the year preparing for the first months of the next ...

Selecting new products for the catalogue ...
Booking ads with the glorious array of gardening magazines ...
Writing the catalogue and sending it to the printers ...
Making sure we’ve got everything ordered up and in stock for the year ahead ...

So basically by the time it gets to Christmas Eve we’re always grateful for a few days off ...

Keeping You Up To Date ...
This year I’m going to keep you updated with what’s happening at Two Wests as we count down the days till Christmas ... I’ll let you have a quick peak into the warehouse ... I’ll show you some of the new products we’re introducing ... and I’ll introduce you to some of the staff ...

But it’s Saturday, the first of December, and I need to join the crowds stressing about Christmas in the shops ... off I go to join the happy crowds ... yeh!
