We too gave away our plastic Christmas tree and all the decorations last year, and this year neither of us wants to decorate the house. Neither do we want a 'Christmas dinner', just eat what we normally do (him: fiery hot curry, me: a salad and some cold smoked salmon) No visitors hooray! (my only family member is my sister who lives up in Scotland). Just an inexpensive present each (I'm getting a lovely wildlife calendar, and he'll be getting a sporty tracksuit). We both reckon that Christmas is far too commercialised. The shops have been crammed with Christmas tat for weeks now, and it's all about money and spend spend spend. I'd rather give my money to charity. Couple of grinches aren't we?
