We are in our senior years and have more than everything we need. I tell my friends not to buy gifts otherwise I will have to extend the house, as they have their own families to buy for. Most families have what we call a "Chris Kringle" where you buy a gift for one person for a determined cost. Christmas has become so commercial and a financial nightmare for some families. The money I would spend on friends who also have everything they need we give to our favourite charities. As we are not religious I say we don't really celebrate Christmas I celebrate my birthday which is on the 25th December and not to bring Birthday presents either just bring themselves for a nice lunch with lots of laughs to share. I do however buy gifts for my great neices and nephews who are all young, Christmas is for Kids.
