Know just how you feel Trev. It's an outrage!
More than that, it's obscene
I really feel for all those parents on or near the breadline facing the prospect of yet another year spending way over what they can afford just to 'keep up appearances' and provide a Christmas to 'remember'
Well, they will certainly be remembering it well into next year as they try to pay off massive debts incurred buying tat which will be discarded before boxing day is done :sticky:
We have spent the last 7 Christmases in rural France. What a transformation. Peaceful, no pressure and no need to stockpile enough food to see two weeks out. Almost empty supermarkets on Christmas eve and a need to buy only immediate requirements as the shops will be open the very next day (no boxing day here!)
Less waste and no less of a good time will be had by all

Can't Wait for Xmas this year,,,, kids off our hands and doing their own things. So a cheeky Xmas dinner at a good local restaurant and back home to pack our cases for a few weeks in Bali starting boxing day morning

Cheeky presumably because you part own it and won't have to pay the bill

And so you should nellie.
It just doesn't need to be punctuated with humongous expenditure on presents which people can ill-afford for no reason other than the advertising magnates suggest otherwise - that your Christmas will somehow be incomplete without spending a King's ransom on it.
Well to be honest i like giving presents to people i love and i do spend a lot of money (even though i don't earn much) but thats up to me, i feel happy doing that and i love the pleasure it gives to my husband, our children, their partners and our grandchild.
Each to their own
My kids birthdays are in November so Christmas is a financial nightmare for us
However, I find they don't really want much, they have their stockings, we have a real treee, the fire is always lit and we have a good dinner - no turkey - roast beef and yorkies :bounce:
Its about being together as a family, not about spending lots of money - I can never understand how people get themselves into debt for just one day of over-indulgence
We have next doors xmas lights to look at, each other and lots of love in our home - thats all we need

sorry this isn't as callous as it sounds :lol:
our kids and their other half's have 4 sets of parents between them, so we sort of made the choice of where to go easy for them this year as we know they all struggle every year trying to please everyone.
however we are probably going to have a great Xmas eve as they are all coming to us
and no G ours is shut of Xmas day but the good news is our Xmas dinner is at a good Friends restaurant :wink:
