Sadly there are always a few people you have to cross off the list for that reason, I still sent to everyone else on my list though.

I haven't sent a Christmas card in over 10 years, I leave that to "she who must be obeyed" and as a consequence people say I am getting miserable, thats not the case,.................... I've been miserable for years.

I'm quite happy doing all the cards, food etc doesn't bother me at all. And we've never bought gifts for each other - saves making mistakes as I'm very fussy. Much rather get something for myself that I really want and Richard does the same. This year I got myself a slow cooker and cooked our Christmas dinner in it. It was a great success.
And then you see all the articles about what to do with unwanted gifts - well my answer would be don't buy them in the first place - but then I've posted along these lines before...
