I am not a religeous person. Of late I'm not even a Christmas person. I thought Christmas was about the birth of Jesus, not about who spends the most money on gifts that no one wants. Getting in to debt that will stay with you well into the new year. I am not Bah Humbug, even though it may sound like it.

However, if we have got the money the kids get spoilt rotten as they only have a few 'special' Christmases (sp?). My particular bug bear is all the food people buy - why? Have they starved themselves all of December (but I am not a big food person).
I have really tried to not think about Christmas, hoping it would never happen, but I have now realised it will come no matter what. I am not really religious but feel sucked in to the present thing. I have three teenage grand daughters who only want Top Shop/River Island presents so I give them the money, and off they went. I don't want any presents from anyone as I have all I need or want. My problem is as Christmas gets nearer I am starting to feel guilty coz my family might think I'm tight, but I'm not, I just find it hard to buy gifts for the sake of it.
Hi Puss - one year we were really up against things and I made the decision not to buy for anyone but our children. Good grief, my mother was in tears about it (how would she face people, etc) - I know that I made the right decision, why should I waste £10 on plastic tat for someone, that they don't want, when I could make my childrens Christmas a bit better.
