1.57 billion Muslims won't get a Christmas present I suppose. Does that make you feel better?

And, yes, you should buy yourself several. Don't forget to use different wrapping paper for each one.

ArkhamOffitt · 10/10/2015 19:27

Buy them now and with it only being the beginning of October you will have forgotten what you bought yourself.

AgentZigzag · 10/10/2015 19:28

I don't think I'll get any either, boo fucking hoo

Grin

Why aren't you getting any?

Don't forget the 1 billion odd people in China as well.

It's not much of a comfort to know people who don't celebrate Christmas won't get a Christmas present!

UnlikelyPilgramage · 10/10/2015 19:31

Well, no, quite!

Anyone who might have bought me one will be getting one for DD :)

Buy yourself some! Things that are a real treat. I know a few people who won't be getting anything at all, you are not alone. Have you got family/friends/children spending the Christmas period with you?

WatchaGonnaDo · 10/10/2015 19:38

YWNBU to buy yourself something. I am as kids spending Christmas with their dad this year so I've asked santander first wine & chocs ?

WatchaGonnaDo · 10/10/2015 19:41

Santa, not santander - I might ask them for a loan thanks autocorrect ??

Don't forget to buy yourself something you don't really want - ideally the 3rd giftset in a Boots 3 for 2 offer - so you can put it in a drawer and regift it back to yourself next year.

Arf @ Arf

Fucking genius idea that is Grin

I might do it on a monthly basis, to stave off boredom.

No it's not just you. I won't be getting any either (unless we do a work secret santa)

UnlikelyPilgramage · 10/10/2015 20:33

Let's buy one another one sooty :)

'It's not much of a comfort to know people who don't celebrate Christmas won't get a Christmas present!'

I wondered how that'd work too, but thought goodwill to all men and that and I'd go along with catford instead Grin

Just had a look there are 3 billion Christians in the world out of a population of 7 billion, so a fair few.

I'd like to think I won't be getting any Xmas presents. I'd honestly rather have nothing than the rubbish that normally comes my way. In fact, you can have mine OP - win/win.
