How not to do your Christmas shopping, Tried this method four days ago.

Returned from shopping in a rain storm. Grabbed all the bags with one hand, leaving the other free to slam down the car boot lid - onto my head. A&E were fearing brain damage but I persuaded them I've always been like this.

Oh! 🥺💥Glad you're okay! We say "ER" which means emergency room over here. We also just say "trunk" for the car boot. The English language is so strange and funny! 😁 Well this year I just gave out gift cards. so much easier and they can get what they want with them. 🐥

@Peaches Thanks, Peaches. I keep forgetting some of the American terms. Over here we have Queen's English, Irish English, and Ulster Scotch. Life can be interesting.
