    Loads!

    Don't send cards. I stopped years ago.
    Only buy a few presents for the kids
    Minimal decorations - we have a one of these http://www.muji.co.uk/ trees and 2 small decorations; they do us well - no need for all the bling.

    We have a chili and nachos for christmas day food with pancakes at some point - the main spend is travelling to relatives; but we don't buy presents for any adults; they may get a jar of HM jam or bottle of HM wine; and of course a jar of Nigella's chili jelly - but that's it.
    how about buy someone a dvd you want to see.. and when you give it to them say put it on see if you like it and then you get to see the film and gave someone a present :T everyones a winner
