3. Bought a totally inappropriate or useless last-minute present:
Do NOT buy your mother a foot spa. She already has three. (Shutterstock)
Your sister is not yet elderly. Do not buy her talcum powder in the local chemist in a panic. (Shutterstock)
Has your Dad started to wear slippers as proper footwear? It’s because he has 17 pairs. STEP AWAY FROM THE SLIPPERS (Shutterstock)
4. Bought 3 forgotten foodstuffs in the local shop at three times the price:
“Now I’ll just make a start on the stuffing…. GAH WE FORGOT THE BREADCRUMBS”
“Oh joy, time for a lovely cuppa… ARGH NO MILK”
“It’s not Christmas Eve without a Chocolate Kimberly…. EGADS I LEFT THEM BEHIND IN DUNNES”
Never fear. All of these things can be purchased for an average price of €17.99 in your local store on Christmas Eve.

5. Revisited a Zig and Zag Christmas special:
Do you remember Christmas Crisis, when Ray’s Scent of Man went missing?
Or maybe Must Go To Moscow?

6. Thought about mass:
Going to mass (or a Christmas religious service) may not have ever been part of your life. If not, you can skip straight to number 7.
Otherwise you might be a Christmas Eve mass-goer, a midnight mass-goer, or a Christmas Day mass-goer. Or maybe you rage against the machine and refuse to go at all, much to your mother/father/granny’s despair.
We’ve all been there.
7. Broken into a tin of biscuits/sweets/selection box:
No bite of Curly Wurly/Purple Rose/Jelly Star biscuit from Afternoon Tea tastes as good as the anticipation feels…

2. Shook the presents:
By now there must be a few pressies under the tree for you. Have you given at least one a good squeeze and a shake?
