I never put any decorations up, & usually buy my presents for people a couple of day before Christmas.

I agree. Christmas day is nice, especially if it snows like it did two years ago. It's great that people get to spend time with their families, as it's the only national holiday when people can all get together. All that is except for those people who have to work because they do vital jobs.
There is so much pressure to spend money though. It just seems really sad that year after year people get into debt. People should be able to celebrate, and enjoy themselves without needing to spend hundreds, and in some cases thousands of pounds. Christmas lasts at best a week, for some the debts will be there for months, or even years.
