Smacks a bit of double standards, doesn't like and will be avoiding celebrating Christmas, but must appear to like folk by buying pressies any way.

Be honest, if you don't like, won't be celebrating krimbo then don't pretend by keeping up appearances.

My ex used to spend ages sending cards, then one year she turned to me and demanded that I should send the cards, for once O.K. I said this year my responsibility.

I didn't buy cards, I ignored the seasonal bull, after all the worst thing if you play with that game is, OMG Uncle slutch has sent a card and I missed him off the list! I must spend extra guaranteeing he gets a card before old postie stops delivering.

All that happened was, she panicked and the next year half as many cards as the year before, no doubt because the usual senders thought, at last I don't have to send them one next year.

To me that was a plus, to her it was a social devastation, we had to put up less strings to hold all the cards we didn't really pay any attention to.
