To begin my story about Christmas shopping I would like to say that there are a lot of pleasant things we connect with the idea of Christmas holidays. Shopping is the most favorable of all. Going shopping before Christmas is an exciting and a spectacular thing to do.
A lot of toys, gifts, downy and beautiful Christmas trees are sold in shops. Toys seem to lie on the racks and scream: Buy me! Buy me! Of course you buy them, because you know that they are good presents both for children and adults. Many people like to go shopping before Holiday or Christmas day as well as me, because first of all it is a pleasure and a good pastime. All shops choke up with gifts, food and people who buy up all this stuff. Huge queues fill the shops. Cashiers do not have time to count the goods, shop assistants do not have time to fill again the empty racks. People buy up everything they see on their way. Checkout counters are filled up with money; people leave shops with great bags of food and presents feeling great pleasure from shopping. Shops are decorated with Christmas stuff and shop assistants are also dressed in Christmas clothes. Also shops give holiday discounts on food and gifts.
Traditionally holidays and Christmas are especially associated with good food in people’s minds. Before a holiday shopping centers, food markets are crowded with people hunting for all kinds of products like meat products, vegetables, fruit, dairy food, sweets, sea products, beverages, etc. Everybody wants to cook something special for his family and guests and treat them delicious dishes at festive table. In different countries people have different kinds of holiday cuisine. To cook what you would like you need to buy everything beforehand and not to forget anything. Of course it takes a lot of time and effort but it is worth it. Different people have different food preferences in cooking for Christmas. Russian people prefer to have a big table with a lot of various dishes. They enjoy eating a duck or a goose stuffed with apples. The Spaniards prefer to eat fried lamb or pork. Frenchmen like to eat a turkey in white wine on Christmas day. The Italian people prefer to eat cod or bass with wine. Everybody has his preferences in the choice of food.
As for me I like to go shopping in general, as it is. I enjoy doing the shopping. I go shopping not only on weekends but also on weekdays. And I certainly like to go shopping before Christmas Day or before any holiday, like millions of other people in our country. Myfamily stock up food in big shops, like Super Good supermarket. We can buy a lot of different kinds of products at a time there. Those kinds of shopping places offer the buyers a big variety of foodstuff and people do not need to go from one shop to another searching for what they need. We buy all we want and leave the shop with bags full of food. My mother spends a very long time on shopping and choosing products. If we forget something we can buy it in a small shop near our apartment building. I like to buy food, I like to choose and ask shop assistants for advice.
Summing up what I have just said I would like to add only one thing - no matter how many times we have already had Christmas and other holidays - we always look forward to the next ones with happiness and good spirit - more new exciting shopping and interesting buys!
