    Do you mean how many do I buy for in total or how many have I not bought for yet? We buy for about 16 people and then for each other. What about you?

    23 plus my wife and the two girls, far too many. £5-£10 each and what can you get for that nowadays.

    Do you attend any public christmas celebrations ?

    I'm going to our church's carol service next Monday. We now meet in a university lecture theatre so we're sharing the service with the christian union there. We won't be able to have candles this year which is a great shame cos I love it when you've just got the twinkling flickering soft light and such familiar songs celebrating something thats very important to me.

    And yeah, you can't get anything for a fiver this year, so gradually all the pressies creep towards the tenner mark and you end up paying twice as much. I love Christmas but hate the rampant commercialism. I just don't do 'duty' cards or pressies. Maybe thats just me being a miserable scrooge!
