Christmas read - Comfort and Joy by India Knight

I'm running around today finishing off any last minute shopping, appointments and tidying to do.  I want to get it all done so I can do as little as possible for the next two days.  I've been to the West End this morning which was starting to get a bit mental.  There were lots of men running around looking completely confused in Selfridges.  Why do men leave things to the last minute?
