Christmas is almost here.

The organised few made their Christmas lists a while ago, they knew who they had to buy for and what they had to buy; they planned their weekends and free time accordingly and bought what was needed. For most of us though, me included, we haven’t bought anything and soon, we will be jumping into our cars and frantically try and buy presents for our nearest and dearest.

How can we try and stay calm during this period when it comes to driving? Well firstly, try and make a list of who you are buying presents for and what you are considering for them. See if you can buy them their present online. If you need to make it to the shops, schedule a day to go. You may want to take public transport to avoid the heavy traffic. If you are going to take the car though, be prepared for long queues.

Remember that Christmas can and should be fun. When it comes to doing the Christmas shopping, we hope that you will be able to do it in a relatively stress free environment.
