No Christmas stress here. Pressies bought. Will finish wrapping tomorrow. No debt. Off work until 2nd Jan. Slowly getting pissed and taking ages to write a post without spelling mistakes! |

No, which is why I don't really get involved with it - I don't put decorations up, I don't buy presents (and tell everyone not to buy me any), and hate going near any shops in December. The only things I enjoy are Christmas dinner and a couple of days off of work. |

"Nope
Its so over commercialised that it actually puts me off before December starts 
It's become just a period of joy because of no alarm clocks  "
I know a family and they buy one present for each other under £5 |

Minimal presents bought here, but the rest the same.
It's not about presents, it's about presence of loved ones. |

It's only stressful if you let it be! It doesn't have to cost very much at all ... exactly what you decide from 0 - ??? And it's only as commercial as you dictate, we have a commercially 0 Christmas or we wouldn't enjoy it in the slightest! |

"I get 10 days off work. I'll endure it...
Only thing it's good for imo
Eating chocolate and cake for breakfast and no one cares
You can keep your cake and chocolate I'm afraid"

No.
I really don't understand why it's made into such a big thing. It's a few hours only and yet people devote weeks to it. It's different for children but adults need to refocus on to it as if it were Spring Bank Holiday etc. |

I remember it just being pure magic when I was a kid. So yeah, I think so. I don't actually need to make the huge efforts some people do but if, like them I had people who needed or wanted me to, yeah Id do it. |

I love ALL the lights. Love seeing my neighbours put their lights up. I'm a sucker for fairy lights and sparkly things all year round so this time of year rocks for me |

Depends if you're doing it for you're self, or for other people. Too Many people live up to the image that living has gone and sold them. When do you stop been a product of you're envrioment and take you're own initiative be a wolf. Not a sheep. |
