If you want to escape the house. If you need to return that jumper. If you just crave the smell of new plastic and reduced price tags. Yes, go.
If you want to stay in your pyjamas and watch "The Holiday" for the fifth time. Also valid. The Range will still be there tomorrow.
But if you do go, embrace the weirdness. Buy a discounted Christmas tree for next year. Grab a pack of 12 tealights. Live the dream.
Final, Crucial Advice
Don’t go at 2 PM. That’s the peak chaos hour. Go at 8:30 AM, shivering in your coat. You’ll have the place to yourself.
Bring a serious person with you. Someone who stops you buying a novelty mug that says "I Run on Coffee and Chaos." You probably don't need it. You do.
Boxing Day at The Range is a glorious, silly tradition. It’s a day of post-Christmas freedom. A day of consumerist joy.
So, is The Range open? Almost certainly yes. Will you go? That’s the real question. And the answer is probably "yes, but I'll only look." We both know that's a lie.
Go on. Embrace the range. Your new fake plant is waiting.
