    You know you are getting on a bit when you start to moan about the Christmas build up starting too early, and this year it seems earlier than ever. :o

    There is only one exception that I make and that's 'Operation Christmas Child' where people are asked to fill a shoe box with gifts for poor, sick and suffering children around the world. :) It's easy to do , but has to be done before November 9th in order for the distribution process to kick in, so it has to be mentioned early.

    Full info is available at http://www.samaritanspurse.ie/occ/what-is.asp - exact details can be viewed through the panel on the left of the page. You can also call them on 2940222 for drop off point locations.

    It makes you feel good on Christmas morning. ;)

    It's actually a lot of fun. My girlfriend and I did it last year. Just pay attention to what you CAN'T put in the box.
