People spend far too much money on Christmas presents imho and so many of those presents are unwanted and unused. At Christmas 2006 I gave what I thought was a useful present to a friend who regularly sells on ebay. In January 2007 to my surprise the gift turned up on ebay and sold for 99p although I'd paid £9.99 for it. So at Christmas last year a lot of the presents I gave were Charity donations for health aids and animals to help poor people in impoverished countries. At least the money is doing some good - in the western world we don't know how lucky we are in comparison.

Bought presents only for immediate family which not only saved money but also a hell of a lot of stress trying to find something that wasn't completely useless. "in the western world we don't know how lucky we are in comparison" Also true - spent some time in Zambia and it certainly made me appreciate and be thankful for what we have here! Cheers Steve
