From October for some of them. I don't know how more staff don;t kill themselves
Fucking consumerism is the death of what is meant to be a joyous time.
All that running round at the last minute, fighting over goods, maxing your credit cards and for what? An ungrateful little shit telling you they hate the present?

fuck it all.

I'm getting Mrs Cow an iPhone cover this year
She got me some free football tickets for my birthday. We'd both rather spend money finishing off the house/paying debts off

As well as the usual presents
I'm doing the missus a sort of adult stocking. I'm filling the one she had as a kid with all cheeses and nice truffles and booze and stuff. Feel free to borrow the idea.

Yeah, since we have no kids in the house,
we buy our presents for each other in the January sales.

Do you not even exchange a small gift each on the 25th?

Usually.
But the majority of presents are bought afterwards. And with our birthdays within twelve days either side of xmas, the whole month is a wave of present giving.
