Christmas shopping Shop and support local businesses this year
If you had been asked to list your most useless and un-asked for presents from Christmas 2019, top of that list would surely be a 2020 Year Planner. 2020 has been a ‘non-year’ thanks to a certain virus that shall remain nameless. Events – and, to a very large extent, everyday life itself – have been cancelled left, right and centre, postponed indefinitely or erased completely, probably never to return.
However, we do have Christmas to look forward to. The excitement is mounting, shops and supermarkets are starting to gear themselves up

Where possible, let’s make a concerted effort to support our local shops as they do have a wonderfully wide range of exceptional goods, a lot of them made by local artisans.
Many of our businesses, irrespective, have suffered this year. Now that we can venture out please remember that shop owners also have their own personal bills and mortgages to pay, as well as their premises’ overheads. Could we all please try to put the mouse into hibernation and frequent the local shops instead? Each and every purchase makes a difference and helps the economic wheels to turn.
Local shops have already started to advertise how they intend to make this Christmas a memorable one. Make sure that most (if not all) of your purchases are from our local shops, many offer an on-line service too if you cannot manage to get out.
This way we can all help to make a difference in getting that economic jigsaw puzzle complete once again.
Get your pens and paper out and start your lists – half the fun is in the planning!
Believe in the Magic of Christmas
