Glad It's Over ...

I blame the yanks for this Xmas commercialism.
Not to go too deeply into it but when I was living there, I saw Father Xmas in his regalia (their Santa Claus) selling water beds on the TV in JULY

"Their" shops are everywhere now in the UK and this over-commercialism has spread so much that it has devalued the festive season
My wife and I put the Xmas tree up on 24th and it will stay up for 7 days only.

My family stopped buying presents for adults years ago.

When our little daughter is about two years old I think the Xmas cheer will come back to our little family, anyway.
It is something I am eagerly awaiting

Not had a report from her yet, but might have to get some myself.

Hi Joe,
The cost has hit already, but when either of my wife or my little daughter smile, it is worth every minute
