>>1515168Sure, Christmas has become a free-for all for retailers, but some people still celebrate Christmas the old way, without all the commercial bull-shit.
It get's earlier every year, the decorations go up and the drama starts, then the panic starts to get the most expensive gifts possible.
Our family stopped that 5 years ago, we are from New Zealand, our Christmas Day is at the start of Summer.
We just have a couple of roast chickens, lots of roast veges, a heap of desserts and that is it.
Apart from some simple gifts, it's just a normal day.
Niether my wife or our kids buy into the entire bollocks that Christmas has become, it's about family, not the large amount of money you need to spend.
