Christmas is coming. Are you looking forward to it? At least it will be a break from work. You can legitimately spend some of your hard-earned cash and have an excuse to indulge yourself just a little bit.

For many, Christmas is a time to have a few unhurried drinks with friends and catch up somewhat. For others, Christmas is primarily a family time and we enjoy buying each other presents and spoiling our children for a few days.

What a thrill it was when I got my first bicycle from Father Christmas. I was taken into the back garden with my eyes closed until I could gaze on the present I had longed for most. I took it through the back passage straight away to show to my friends up the road. Sadly, it was not long before the bike got wrecked. Accidents, leaving it out in the rain and general misuse shortened its life-span.
