...a time when everybody wants their past forgotten, but their "present" remembered.

     You're cold,  you're wet,  you can't find anywhere to park,  the bus is late,  the bus is full and you can't get on,  the shops are crowded,  you can't get to the counter to see the goods,  you get elbowed and trampled on,   you're last in the long queue at the check-out,  the shopping gets heavier,  you're tired,  you're hungry,  there are long queues at the restaurants,  the pub is jam-packed and smoke-filled,  you can't remember where you parked the car,  you haven't got any change for the meter,  no-one else has any change,  everybody looks miserable and hassled,  you can't find the loo,  it's raining again ....... sound familiar.

Christmas Shopping the Modern way..... 

     You adjust the central heating to a comfortable level,  you get yourself a drink - tea, beer or your favourite tipple, you grab a bag of your favourite flavoured crisps,  you sit in your relaxing chair,  you switch on the computer,   you login to your favourite shopping site - which is www.oyster.cc , isn't it !
( Hope you saved it in your "Favourites". )   Not too difficult so far...
You leisurely browse and shop at all those stores you would otherwise have trudged round...... and a whole lot more,  you are the only person in the check-out queue,  you make your purchase,  you switch off the computer,  you go back to doing whatever you were doing before.
Now, how easy is that !

So how will you be doing your Christmas shopping this year ?

At Christmas time your credit card can take a severe battering, but you can avoid the usual overspend and crippling debts in the New Year with a few simple strategies.
1)  Try to make a list of people you want to buy for and what presents you would like to buy them.
2)   Internet shopping could be the perfect solution for you, especially if you do not enjoy the crowds and the hassle - or perhaps you simply do not have time during the day to browse the shops.
3)   Shopping online can save you money - many internet retailers offer good deals, free shipping, gift wrapping and personalizing gifts.
4)   Try to do your shopping early - the post is always slower at this time of year - you want to make sure you get everything in time.
5)    It's not important to give everyone expensive gifts, give thoughtfully - it has far more value.

Do try to stay within your budget, do not spoil your Christmas worrying about how to pay the bills - worry about how you are going to enjoy yourself.
