Rush !! Rush !!!

The pre-Christmas scene on TV is one where people rush in and out of stores to do last minute shopping. Had always wondered why can't these people shop early, after all, the day and date for X'Mas is already known and determined. Took a bus to Oxford Circle to get a "feel" of the pre-Christmas mood. Yes the scene of people rushing from store-to-store already started though the festive season is still some distance away. After standing at the street corner for a while, it was finally clear why all the rush .... It's darn COLD !!! Quick movement, sure help to warm the spirit and keep the shoppers warm. Shoppers, both local and foreign were all happily braving the cold, to heat up the season !!!

Whilst things were heating up at the departmental stores, news of snowfall at Scotland and along the North-Eastern Coast of the United Kingdom added further excitement to the already cold temperature. The cold spell was predicted to last for at least 10 days and was moving southwards; some traces of snow flakes already found their way to the Tower Bridge in the wee hours of the morning. Guess, its really beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ho ! Ho !! Ho !!! in advance !!
