even though I agreed it with DH ages ago? We decided not to get gifts this year as we both have a history of going overboard and we are trying to be better with money. In hindsight, it might have been less grinchy better to agree on a small budget for some token gifts because I woke up feeling a bit 
at the empty space under the tree! I know I am lucky to be healthy, have nice things to eat and have a nice DH etc but I do feel a bit sad...
come on, tell me I am being a materialistic idiot and need a grip!
