Announcement of Bah Humbug

Unless you are

  1. living in my flat

  2. one of my parents

  3. my sole remaining grandparent

  4. assigned to me in the office christmas dip



then you aren't getting a christmas present from me this year. And I don't expect one from you either. Christmas is generally a time to worry about buying people presents and have fuck all money when it _should_ be a time to chill out with your friends. I'm nervous about money at the moment and I know that most of you are far worse off than me. For God's sake don't buy me anything.

Random presents at other times of the year are still perfectly acceptable, of course.

Someone finally said it!
Now I've got to get the courage to say the same

Bloody good idea Andy, I hate the end of the year (most of my family and people who live near me have end of year birthdays) because you are always worrying about presents. Maybe if everyone did that then Christmas wouldn't be a yearly nuisance

good show and all that

Phew! It's cool. (I'll make sure Rob knows too).

'Xmas' will be hanging out or catching a movie sometime. :)

Welcome to the sensible side of Xmas!

I do not send Xmas cards and haven't since, oh about 1990 maybe earlier. Everyone knows this now. I also only ever buy pressies for my Mum, Dad, Sister, husband (he buys for his side of the family).

Bout time someone else joined in the Bah humbug. I made this announcement, oh, a month back, I guess! Nice to see someone else with a no stress attitude to Xmas!
