at home this weekend
I confirmed that all the family had been informed of my 100% boycott of gift exchanging. I feel so free and happy. A few hundred quid saved and I won't have to pretend to like the unmitigated croc of shite that is handed to me without fail every year.

See, but presumably your missus knows
and you'll have to spend it all on her instead.

Are you spending crimbo together?

A few hundred quid?
Seriously? Are you just being overly generous with the presents, or does your family resemble the Yorkshire family depicted near the beginning of The Meaning of Life?

I think last year was a bit expensive
by buying quite nice things for more people than usual. Also, having a girlfriend at that time of year is very careless.
