You know something? All my friends know what
they are getting for Christmas, my sister knows what she is
getting for Christmas (nothing) and even the DOG knows what
he is getting for Christmas. Well, he thinks he does. Truth
be told the bones aren’t for him but he doesn’t
need to know till Christmas. But do I know what I’m getting
for Christmas? No. The point of this article is not to moan
about what I don’t or might or will have for Christmas,
nor is it to see how many times I can put the word “Christmas”
into one article either. It is to evaluate and analyze (just
like my Science Coursework!) the importance of the Hovingham
Christmas Market. Personally all of my Christmas shopping is
done and most of it is wrapped, (my best friend said it was
horrendous. Sorry, ex best friend.) but I know for a fact my
Gran hasn’t finished, I mean she still has to get the
dog something and there’s a pet stall at the Market. There’s
also food for your Christmas dinner and chocolates to give as
gifts. So why would you go anywhere else when you have such
brilliancy on your doorstep? I’ve got used to having to
go 30 miles till I get to New Look, I’ve got used to people
saying “it’s just down the road” when in truth
it’s 8 miles away, but you can actually walk to this market!
After you have bought your many presents on this market, you
can enjoy the refreshments provided by the Playground Committee,
so it’s definitely worth going. But most of all, Merry
Christmas and make sure you knock the door down before you try
and get through it after Christmas Dinner.
