Jean, my maths equates with yours, those feeding a small army must
surely be balanced by those being fed.
We are going to one daughter tomorrow evening, one on Christmas Day and
the other on Boxing Day so really I need a bit less this week though I
did get some extra soft drinks for the children.
I have just been to collect the capon for Sunday when I'm cooking for
all of them. Dave (my butcher) is closing from tomorrow lunchtime
until Tuesday. He said even if he did open on Saturday he wouldn't get
any deliveries, and he closes on Mondays anyway, so he's having five
days off. However the newsagent/tobacconist/confectonery shop next to
him is open until late on Christmas Eve and open all day Boxing Day,
though what they sell that's going to be essential for Boxing Day I
don't know. Perhaps someone will run out of chocolate bars!
With all the shopping done and the pressies wrapped I don't feel so bad
now about tackling the mountain of ironing that need to be done and
pehaps I'll even get a bit of of housework done!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Season's Greetings or Bah Humbug
whichever you prefer

To my way of thinking (which is obviously wrong), if some people are
buying that amount, there must be at least an equal number not buying
anything.
