While I appreciate the thought, may I be the first to say 'bah humbug'!

While I like the break, time with family, good food etc, I don't follow Christianity; so don't celebrate Christmas. And I despise the wanton consumerism just about everyone feels compelled to partake in most. My wife moans I don't get involved in the choosing of hundreds of pounds worth of gifts for our three children and token gifts for close family - I just don't want to know! I would rather make/give/trade gifts of homemade booze/cakes/pies etc at a get together.

Anyway, rant over please think about what Christmas really means to you, and why you buy people presents. Maybe if enough people were open and honest about not wanting to give or receive gifts the 'christmas period' would be more relevant to our beliefs and how we life our lives the rest of the year, rather than jumping on the bandwagon without a second thought because it's what we/everyone else does...

I don't know if it's just an indication of a disturbed and perverted mind, but at first glance I thought mushroom was going to offer some sage like advice on the appropriate care of the male genitalia!

Im not sure if you visited the site, however it isn't purely for buying "stuff" there are some bargains to be had, and pointers to the best places, thus saving money. (including supermarkets where you can buy your food for your family.

I'd love to show this to my wife to explain that I'm not the only one with this attitude, but she reckons I'm a miserable bar steward as it is.
