1. No, I'm at peasant status at the moment. Waiting till the 15-20th Dec to go to London and rush all my Christmas shopping then.
2. Nothing really, I don't mind so much anymore about what I get. I'm a bugger to buy presents for.
3. It brings families together, that's all that matters. As I get older, the family disperses further and further apart. Christmas is the only time where I'll actually see people now. Commercialism is a part of Christmas, and I couldn't give a toss about the PC-brigade, they can suck my left nut.
