Amazingly enough Christmas is also going to be on 25th December in 2013 and 2014 as well! What a coincidence!

Will pencil it into my calender now. That way I might only have to take out 2 or 3 payday loans instead of 5 or 6

I don't need to save anything for it, because I don't do Christmas.

Ah! A kindred spirit. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Of course you are not alone.

Out of interest, how completely do you not do Christmas?

I save a small amount every month ready for December each year, it makes shopping far more enjoyable and less stressful knowing I have the cash available. Christmas is just one day, don't get yourself into debt to please others.

I did Christmas on the cheap one year, I mean proper MSE and partly homemade on the cheap and it was fantastic! I may well do the homemade shortbread again as it went down so well :-)

We live to a budget at Christmas...£20 per person for presents. Sounds tight but we can get some really good stuff with some savvy shopping and making stuff...

As for food, we do cheap and make what we can and always have done...Christmas is not a massive thing in our house.

Good post O4U - futile but good.

Roll up,roll up for the great January debt burden appearing in a forum near you early 2013.

Simple enough, the wife buys it before or after christmas, I earn it the christmas before regardless.. but we're both on the same side and know our limitations

What a nice post on this board, my blood pressure hardly rose at all...

It is possible to "do Christmas" very nicely without needing to save or borrow huge amounts of money. It's not about stuff.

I don't want anything for Christmas. The CCJ on my credit file drops off in January, which means I'll be completely debt free. Best present ever!
