Blimey Gerry, that almost had me in tears.

That is a wierd thing.
I had to go into Lincoln Uk today to pick up our meat for Christmas day from M&S.
My 17 year old daughter was with me.
We passed a Hair Salon in Lincoln and some old dear came out having probably had her perm and blue rinse (LOL).
My daugher was so unaware of the importance of having your hair done for Christmas. My wife being Dutch is not used to the tradition and that is why my daughter is so oblivious about it.
So I explained how in my day, all the ladies spent the days before Christmas spending a fortune on hair do's and then slaving in the kitchen on Christmas Day.

Is it still the same?
Do young women still follow the tradition of having their hair done, or is it a dying custom amongst the young ones?
