the trouble with taking this stance is you get called scrooge, grintch, and miserable.
I dont want to eat easter eggs (i'm diabetic) yet I dont get called a miserable chocolate hater.
I dont want to set off fireworks, and I am not called a miserable anti pyrotechnic.
In fact anything else I don't want to do does not get me stigmastised as scrooge or miserable.
Soon as you say you dont want to get involved in christmas you get all sorts of hissy fits.
The fact that I am to tight to buy presents is beside the point
