I'm not buying anyone presents
I'm not buying anyone presents for Christmas this year. Maybe I'll get my mom a little something, but that's absolutely it. I haven't made this declaration to anyone...but I'm just sending cards. I don't have a girlfriend or kids. I'm not doing it to be a Scrooge, it's just that I have zero disposable income right now.
Anyone else ever done this? Did you become the black sheep of your family? |

This morning, at 2 AM..I came on drunk and planned on posting something offensive, but somehow better judgement prevailed, and I hit "back" instead of "post". Thanks for asking! |

i think this is where i'm at too. Although I think I have to get everyone something. But it's going to be CHEAP. Like...$100 total for the 5 members of my family. |

I wish.
I hate Christmas, just like I hate every other overly-marketed fake celebration. Christmas is all about family? Religion? World peace? Wrong. It's all about spending as much money as you can on buying everybody gifts because if you don't everyone will think you are an asshole. Call me Scrooge, I don't care. But yeah, anyway, now I just need to figure out what expensive piece of jewellery to buy for my girlfriend.

I just tell everyone each year I'm making a donation in their name to "The Human Fund".

I've got a setup I like a this point.. My fiance and I buy for each other, our parents, our brothers (and sisters-in-law).. Then my extended family does a draw a name from a hat gift exchange, so just $50 for one person for my extended family. My close friends and I are sponsoring a family (or whatever it's called) where we're all buying gifts for a needy family. Then we're getting together, doing dinner, and wrapping them all together. So, not all that bad on the cost for me but still a fair amount of friends and family time.

I think Karl's just afraid to tell us he's converted to Jehovah's Witness
