Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 13, 2020

It is so convenient to be able to do it that way, and whether over computer or slogging through crowds, always better to get it done early. How about you, Fred? Do you have your gift for Fifi? She’s a pretty poodle.

Let’s hope they are getting you some nice gifts Fred…maybe some large ear muffs?

♪ We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert ♫…

Nothing beats the good old gift card … for ease ;-)

’We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert; we’re so sorry if we caused you any pain….’

I think I’m getting socks this year. The kind with extra thick soles and toes, because I don’t wear shoes inside much.

We did that (online buying and letting them wrap) about a month ago. Now thing the shutdown and sent-isolation has done for us is forced greater organization.

I love Freds face in the last panel.

Christmas shopping was never this easy but it does take the fun out of the nice trimmed up shops with carols playing in the background!

Most people don’t buy for Auntie Flo. They just hope she doesn’t stick around too long.

Maybe they will give you your own special sausages , Fred.

This Christmas is going to be unusual, with no Santa in the Malls and most shopping done online. I finished my shopping online today.
