I agree with youOh, I dunno. I agree christmas has become commercialised but I think the threads on here show people are putting a lot of thought into finding presents which will be liked by the recipient and which don't cost a lot too.
I think that's a pretty thoughtful and caring thing to do - more so than rushing to the shops and buying anything just cos it's xmas?
Obviously, some people are more tied into the religius side of things but that does not have to be the only meaning to christmas and personally, I feel christian values are just that - 'values' - and can be represented in many ways.
Just my opinion of course!
Must go edit my post, ive remembered that i got my mum a truprint mug too:rotfl: 'They only had one cow!'0
