Christmas Eve Shopping

[spathiphyllum]

do shops stay open a weee late or is it the opposite, do they shut early? Or does it depend!?!?

[ethandron]

It depends..

I find that my local Shell Station has a selection of presents for the discerning woman and is open pretty much 24/7 even at Christmas ...

[spathiphyllum]

I'm hoping for more stocking filler type gifts than cheap lighters and fire wood ;)

Sainsbury's Christmas Eve opening 6.00 - 19.0. The others are probably similar

You still have three days to go till Xmas Eve. All we ever bought on that day was bread and the turkey. Most of the bread was thrown away uneaten.

All shops will have been displaying their Xmas / New Year opening times for several weeks now. There are no 'rules' it is up to each shop to decide it's hours.

I do hope some nick nack shops will be open!

You'll always find a knick knack somewhere.

Don't hold your breath, small shops may close early especially if they are family businesses. I'd take the Argos route if I were you.

Wife just came in doing our normal food shopping .. she said people are going crazy trolley fulls of food..Lol just for one day madness

[Jackdaw33]

You'll have to be sharp. Most shops close early as public transport runs down in the early evening.

[spathiphyllum]

It is quite sweet HIA :)

And yep, i've got the day off no one wants their bush trimmed on christmas eve so i'll get up early! :)
