Christmas in the UK

Coming towards the end of my Christmas in the UK, have I enjoyed it?  yes lovely to be with my daughter and meet her new boyfriend, sorry not to have been able to visit my son and grandson though. Not enjoyed the weather so much a little cold and wet.
I had forgotten about the large supermarkets such as Sainsbury and Tesco and the amount of food choice available in them, People throwing items into their trolleys as if supermarkets were closing until December 2013.
The the sales starting on Boxing Day and the people grabbing everything then if they don't want it just drop it on the floor.
They say folk have no money I find that hard to believe.
Comparing prices I think the UK is cheaper than Spain shops are in competition with one another so offer vouchers etc then there are the customer loyalty cards virtually unheard of in Spain. I suppose because there is no competition so few shops remain.
I am glad to be going back home well stocked up with essentials craft supplies for the coming year.
