Yes, yes, I know it's a nice thing to do and the kids love it but is it worth the hassle?
At the ripe old age of 47, I have just experienced the first Xmas free of giving and receiving any gifts. It's amazing how wonderfully stressless it has been not to be caught up in all the rush and fuss.
As we grow up and find ourselves owning all we need is there any point in focusing on this cultural activity of having to give and receive presents on one particular day of the year - especially when one is not a christian?
How does this Xmas present exchange affect you? Do you enjoy it or is it a stress?
