EVERY year at this time, people seem to panic when shopping.

They fill their trolleys in the supermarkets and clear the shelves of food. One would think they were running a hotel or some other establishment.

It’s only two days for goodness’ sake, and some shops will even be open on Christmas Day.

What on earth do we see all this panic over food so near to this festive season and the New Year?
