    Still don't know why we celebrate Christmas anyhow as Jesus wasn't even born in December.

    Tradition. We keep loads of things just for tradition but in reality are of no real benefit to anyone. Like politicians or the Queen.

    Patronising thread, pops up usually around this time every year.

    The OP probably delighted with himself that he got in first. Well done.
    Getting married to a wonderful lady on August 10, 2012.

    Need to save up, lose weight, reduce my money worries and get back to being the real me! :j

    If you read MSE you'll see Martin lewis posted this up last week.

    This is a crucial warning. I’ve just had it confirmed that Christmas will be on 25 December this year. You may be thinking "that’s not a surprise". Yet if that’s true, why are so many skint in January, as if it crept up on them?

    Come back in the new year to see how truthful it is.

    A simple lesson never learned - it maybe patronising for you but if it helps just one person to avoid the trap and misery of payday loans for something as pointless and transient as Christmas it is worth it.

    Patronising it might be, but true, it certainly is.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
