i have hated xmas all my life except for a few years when our daughter was very young 

then it just became a stress again when she reached the age of not liking a present lol

we just dont do it at all now its just like a normal day 

once we started doing that life was happier 

the shops make me sick with there xmas money grab and i also feel sorry for people that fall for it and some 

even put themselves into debt over all the carp
