Christmas gift giving is a zero sum game. Too much tit-for-tat ends up in tat, that wastes money and fills landfills. Time for my annual ‘no unnecessary presents’ Christmas message (courtesy @itvMLshow)

When someone says they don’t like Christmas don’t reply ‘bah humbug’ Maybe they … -Miss someone -Don’t have children to share the magic stuff with -Are going through hard times -Can’t celebrate how they want to -Are grieving someone -Feel lonely -Feel pressure to conform
