Christmas is rather a mixed bag. There are all sorts of messages, godly and otherwise, extolling the virtues of self-sacrifice, love and friendship with a good drop of milk-of-human-kindness thrown in. However, at the same time this does not always translate to reality, with commercialism rife and pressure to spend large sums of money in a bid to make those closest to you happy, often resulting in unhappiness and stress.

Far better to spend your money on large quantities of cheap booze, thereby rendering all family and friends in a state where they either don't care that you haven't got them a pressie, or won't remember - you can then spend the rest on the worthy Oxfam Unwrapped cause, in connection with our App of the Day.
