The Christmas Shopping Experience

 

Before it becomes a bad dream, here are a few snippets from the pre-Christmas rush in the city.

There seemed to be no stand outs in the toy departments this year. Heard most frequently was: ‘D’ya reckon they might be into the Hobbit?’ in response to the deluxe Lego boxed sets nestled next to some Star Wars stuff.

This babe managed to get through the queue in David Jones toy department unscathed.

 There was a crush for handbags at the QVB.

Brad Pitt’s mug seemed to be everywhere.

For some it was all too much.

                                                               Others had time for tenderness.

And Fifty Shades of Grey wasn’t flying out the door of Abbey’s Bookshop.
