Yesterday, I went Christmas shopping with the family in Canterbury. I had some kind of idea in my head that I’d blitz through and buy presents for everyone. Uh, no. I managed to buy cards, wrapping paper… and a new dressing gown and slippers for myself, since my old ones had pretty much died. However, I think I do now know what I’m going to get for everyone. I’m just going to buy it online!
We did see some reindeer, though, in a pen outside BHS. Okey-dokey! They seemed quite happy with all the attention, though, and two of them kept pushing their noses though the fence and getting their heads rubbed by the people who’d come to see them (anti-septic hand gel was provided to use afterwards, probably because of that thing with kids catching E.coli after stroking farm animals). I just took a couple of photos:
Reindeer in Canterbury
Aww, look at the baby one!
Deer liked to hang out in my backyard as I was growing up.
Buying online rocks! And, those reindeer are adorable, especially the baby.
Those reindeer are super cute! I love taking my little guy to the petting zoo, but the nurse in my is always standing there with hand sanitizer open and ready, because it grosses me out. Earlier this fall, my son petted a goat, then put his hands in his mouth before I could get to him with the purell and I thought I was going to have a cow! lol He didn’t get sick, thoughj, so that’s good! haha
I also do a lot of my Christmas shopping online. I work nights, so I tend to do some shopping in downtime there and I’m pretty unwilling to go shopping for fun with a 2 year old because, well, it’s not so fun.
Happy ICLW!
