I saw Santa coming down Broad Street on the evening of the 17th - in a trailer pulled by a landrover, with an elf and the Grinch walking in front and what looked (from my high window) like someone dressed as a Christmas tree in the trailer with Santa. Some people had been waiting by the old bank for them to come, and sang carols while the kids ran up and down.
The Post Office has run out of second class stamps! But I think I've sent all the cards I need to send now, so I can relax in the run-up to Christmas Day.
I usually do a long walk on Christmas Day, but this year I think I'll just take the next fine day that presents itself - it's far too damp to be enjoyable on a day like today.
