I agree.
Surviving and paying bills is far more important to me than spending money I don't have on this commercial dribble, debt is a real thing and not something that comes out a cracker.

Christmas is not supposed to be commercial and spending. Man has made it that way. St Nicholas as I'm told. Christmas has become over-commercialized.

And it has lost that true meaning for some. Some do not have a clue at all but run up the credit card anyway because it's "Christmas".

Yes, my family has been doing the no gift Christmas thing for several years now. We enjoy Christmas much more when it's about getting family together and celebrating being on the green side of the grass together!

Dear Neal
I am glad you are going to have a nice christmas with your family. I have a small family here in California and some more relatives in Georgia but both side of the family get together with our local relations. We may be far away from our family but we will be close in our hearts. I WANT TO WISH ALL SUBSIMMERS MERRY CHRISTMAS or for our members overseas HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

Little different Christmas for us this year. Son, his wife and our new granddaughter will go to Ontario to be with her parents. So my daughter, our 16 year old grandson, wife and I are going to Orlando for a week. No presents just fun and relaxing. Got a place with a pool and I plan on making good use of it.

I like the spending time with family and friends and celebrating the season. I like the gift giving part, but don't like shopping. To those who mention going into debt for Christmas presents. A long time ago, I made a vow to not go into debt for Christmas. I haven't gone into debt for Christmas my entire adult life. I have on rare occasion used a credit card, but I made sure the money was set aside.

Going to spend the Christmas evening and the following two days alone with my cat. Then I'm going to be with my Mom, little sister and my niece for three days thereafter.
About spending money on Christmas present. I save little money each month throughout the year, so I don't have to dig deep into my pocket when Christmas approach. In our family we have come to an agreement that no more than 300 Dkr per person shall be given. And only to those we are spending Christmas with. Markus |
